Well D,
I dunno about a shortcut, but something really easy that sure as hell helps me!!!
I posted about it on Alternative.
Today, I was feeling really upset about something that happened last night. More than half the day went by with me feeling crappy, then I remebered, "Jeez - I should 'tap' "
So I did & within minutes I went from feeling crappy to a level of 7 or 8 (10 being BAD) down to a 5 or 6!!!
There's a step-by-step video to follow:
www.tapping.com
Let me know what you think, if you decide to try it.
Today the phrase I started with was:
"Even though I feel embarassed & upset by what happened at the store yesterday, I deeply & completely love & accept myself." (When I first learned EFT, the word 'love' was included. I notice it isn't included on the video; maybe 'cuz lots of people would internally think, "Yeah as IF I love myself!" Maybe that's why he removed it)
You'll know what I'm talking about if you happen to watch the video.
love & hugs & sorry for your pain D.
PS - it's not something I'd use instead of therapy, but can be a really useful thing to use along with therapy 'cuz you can do it on your own between sessions.
