Nice reply Irene. I am in accord with what you say.
I would, however, in the spirit of assistance make just a little point. If you
want to really get the gold from this opportunity look to your own veiled threat
in your final words. It is a choice, of course, to say you will withdraw if this
sort of attitude keeps going but there's some double think going on here. You
want to respond to 'disgusted' without attack and yet you are attacking the
attackers. Nice if you could manage it but if you look at it you will see it
isn't going to serve you.
As another option you could form an intention to lead a change of attitude, to
nurture everyone's confidence, whatever, etc, etc. It is not the only option to
see something unserving and decide to turn away from it. It's not wrong of
course but may not serve you any better than staying to witness.
There's also the idea that to see attack you have to be in that same place
yourself. Instead of attack, another person in a place of security might just
see some therapists with confidence issues. It need not be seen as error. It
just is. And what it is, is down to the observer.
Now, of course, I have to look to myself to see if I am truly observing and
assisting here or if I, too, am offering a veiled attack on you :-)
Well, we have the tools to do this :-)

Bless all who are involved in this marvellous quest.

Hi friends - I'm a bit uncomfortable with the tone of the replies to the
person who is "disgusted" with Silvia. It seems to me that it does not
serve either Emotrance or EFT well to answer so aggresively (even though
I fully understand the urge to do so) :) It seems to me that if
some-one writes as "disgusted" did, we are not going to help him or her
to understand the value of what Silvia does, or the value of EFT or any
other kind of Energy Psychology for that matter, by answering them at
the same negative level. To tell someone to "stop talking about
something you don't know or understand" or to "stick that in your pipe
and choke on it" is both arrogant and also stuck in the same sort of
negative energy as is "disgusted" - don't you think? I see no
difference between the attitude of "disgusted" and that demonstrated in
those answers, and I'm quite shocked that therapists would tell somebody
that they "need therapy" just because they don't agree with a negatively
expressed attitude.

This group has the potential to be a great learning place, for all of
us, but it will require tolerance and patience, and a willingness to be
of assistance to those who perhaps need some information (whatever way
that need is expressed). I, and I am sure many others, have a personal
creed or philosphy that "I will make every effort to ensure I do
nothing that will harm others" - and so I suspect that there are those
in this group, myself included, who will eventually withdraw if this
sort of attitude keeps going, because I really don't want to expose
myself to unnecessarily negative energy.

I write this with true concern and respect.

irene
