Hello all,
I've had the opportunity in the past two weeks to apply ETT to two
occurences of physical trauma - with amazing results!
The first time occurred this last Friday evening. I decided it was time
to trim a candle that had burned down in the center. With a big butcher
knife in hand, I set about my task. All was going well until the knife
slipped and punctured my left hand in the web between the thumb and
index finger. Blood was spurting everywhere! I grabbed a piece of ice
and a paper towel and began focusing on replaying the series of events
just until the knife punctured my hand. Then I began counting down from
10 to 0 while silently repeating my cue word. I then counted from 0 to
10, repeating my cue word and running the images of the event in my
mind. The pain decreased substantially, and I was able to uneventfully
get to the ER for stitches. Because of the location of the cut, the
doctor could not numb the entire area so once again that cue word was
repeated as the sutures were being placed. The hospital staff was
surprised that I didn't need anything for pain!
The second event was a couple of weeks ago when I opened my car door.
The glass was rolled up and in my haste to get to work, I opened the
door very quickly and slammed the glass into my forehead. I got into
the car and started running the events that led up to me hitting my
head with the door and then stopped. I also began counting down from 10
and by the time I got to 4, the pain and swelling were gone.
I'm usually a non-klutzy person. Perhaps these two events were just to
demonstrate to me, again, how powerful ZP is.
Whew - what do folks do without ETT, ZP and cue words???!!!
Thank you Grant and everyone on this list who shares their knowledge
and experiences. You're great!
In joy and appreciation,
Martha
