Hi Dan, Patient: 14 years old athletic female, (in tears) complaining of excruciating pain in the right shoulder. She is unable to move her arm or even write. Emily (as I will call her) is unable to do school work or participate on the school water polo team. I asked if she injured her self, she said she was not sure, the pain began sometime after practice. I then asked her if she had a negative experience with a friend. She was surprised and said yes and wondered how I knew that! (I learned this from German New Medicine, Dr. Ryke Hamer). I explained to her that the brain can cause pain as a form of self protection to prevent her from going into an uncontrollable rage or physically attacking her friend, which she readily admitted was her desire. (I learned this from Dr. John Sarno, The Divided Mind.) I had her rub the sore spot (under the clavicle) to help prevent any reversals. I then showed her the butterfly hug and began tapping with her on the details of her yelling match. I had Emily cross her arms and tap alternately near the elbows. I did
the same on myself as an example for her to follow. You could say that
she tapped and I surrogate tapped simultaneously. She was uncomfortable verbalizing, and asked if just thinking the affirmations is okay. I told her it was perfectly fine. She stated that she felt some relief. I then had her address the rage, resentment and negativity in her right shoulder. She felt a little more relief. I then had her tap on the physical pain, releasing it from every cell in the cartilage, muscle, tendons and bone. I then had her affirm forgiveness for her friend and her self. She then had instant and total relief.
I practice acupuncture and I use your
method - the hybrid derived from EMDR and EFT. I'm just hypothesizing, but had I used acupuncture, it would estimate it would have taken 3 to 5 visits for the same results.
This process took only 10 minutes. Emily commented that this is amazing and that she now wants to study psychology. I explained to her that what happened here is on the cutting edge of the future in health care. Sincerely,
Stephen Coleman WHEE MD Observations Painful shoulders sometimes end up limiting the range of motion of the arm, in which case they are called 'frozen shoulders.' This pain may persist for years and may resist all conventional treatments - typically focused on the physical problems and completely ignoring the psychological components that very often are associated with the pain. Frozen shoulders respond very quickly to WHEE. Blessings Dan Benor
