Users have reported that WHEE helped them with:

•    Physical pains of all sorts have responded rapidly to WHEE, including tension headaches, migraines, stomachaches, irritable bowel syndromes, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, backaches, frozen shoulders, slipped discs, pains after injuries and surgery, arthritis, bursitis, fibromyalgia, cancer, post-radiation pain, post-polio pain, and more.

CAUTION: Pain may be a signal from the body that people are ‘up tight’ over a stressful situation and are in distress, but may be unaware of what it is that is stressing them. Pain may also be a signal of a physical problem requiring medical or surgical attention. It is important to consider such possibilities carefully before working on removing the pain.

•    Fears – Anxieties about new activities or new places, including visits to dentists and doctors; fears of flying; fears of insects, snakes, pets and larger animals, heights; test anxieties; performance anxieties, such as speaking in class or in public; specific fears following frightening or traumatic experiences; anxieties and fears about recurring experiences such as medical treatments, shifting between homes of parents who are not living together (See article on ‘Re-entry problems’ referenced at the end of this manual); calming after waking from a nightmare; dealing with underlying anxieties and post traumatic residues associated with nightmares.

•    Phobias, including school avoidance – even in severe cases where the child previously had to be dragged from the car by his parents and held by the vice principal so he wouldn’t run back to the car. Milder fears, such as those marked by procrastination, respond well too.

•    Post-traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) – are very responsive to WHEE, which can help with residual traumatic memories, panic attacks, nightmares, temper outbursts and more.

•    Angers – Preventive use of WHEE is best, emptying the ‘bucket of old angers’ so that it doesn’t overflow when new angers are stuffed inside. Once people have practiced using WHEE when they are not angry, then they can use WHEE at times of upsets, such as releasing anger and calming while sitting in a time out chair; addressing fears and hurts that may be associated with the angers.

•    Insomnia – responds wonderfully well, even when it has been present for a long time.

•    Motion sickness and morning sickness of pregnancy – can respond immediately and can be eliminated.

•    Emotional pains – Emotional distress after painful emotional experiences – both recent and from distant past, such as parental conflicts, separation or divorce; worries over family stresses such as illness, injuries and financial issues; bereavement.

•    Cravings for sweets, food, drugs, thrills, and other addictions may respond to WHEE.

•    Allergies – to animals, pollens and other allergens; asthma. Allergies may respond within minutes or may take several weeks of regular WHEE use to dissipate.

•    Weight loss - for reducing, eliminating, transforming:

Food cravings – for specific foods and in general
Stress responses – allowing systematic transformation of negative responses that
   often initiate comfort eating
Residues of old traumas – from mild discomfort at awkward memories to major
   post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Issues around self-image and self-esteem
Meta-issues of habits around being overweight and how to be in the world – heavy
   or not heavy; lighter or not lighter

•    Reducing side effects and the need for some medications – both in the reduction in severity of the issues for which the medications are prescribed (anxiety, pain, allergies, insomnia, etc.), and in harmonizing the response to medications, such as chemotherapy, reducing side effects for which other medications are prescribed.

•    Relationships, social issues, performance anxieties, low self-confidence – common issues of teens – respond dramatically well to WHEE. This is an extension of the uses of WHEE into beliefs and disbeliefs about our abilities to deal with issues.

•    Family members’ anxieties and distress – There have been excellent responses in anxieties raised by children’s, partners’ and parents’ issues; anxieties not caused by the children but impacting the children because children pick up on parents’ worries or because parents have a shorter fuse; anxieties and stresses of relatives dealing with a family member’s chronic illness.

WHEE has been found by users to be very rapidly effective, rather like a vacuum cleaner that allows you to clear away dusty old hurts that you carry around with you from traumatic experiences.
