Hello David,
A method I've used successfully in similar cases follows:
Have the client go in memory to the incidents at age twelve
(??regression??) one at a time
And tap for that 12 year old (name). Have her see all the distress leave
that younger her/him
and have the client to imagine a link or thread of some sort between the
present and the younger
self. Then direct the client to send back to the younger self all the
qualities a compassionate person
would bestow on the younger one, let the younger one know how much she is
cared for and loved.
then have the client in this state go to the child and hold/hug the child
close until she is certain all the
Fear, embarrassment, humiliation and etc. is gone. Reassure the child that
she is loved and protected
and that " I will be with you always". Direct her back to the present
bringing the child with her.
This is a short version, use your creativity. Good luck
Warmly.

Hi Group,
I am new here. My name is David, I am a hypnotherapist and started
using EFT a little more than a year ago now. I have found energy
therapies to be incredibly effective (both on clients and on myself).
However, I still have lots to learn, as evidenced by the case
described below, for which I'd love to get feedback. Here it is:
I have had a session with a highly rational woman for a fear of public
speaking. She recalls 2 events of public humilliation in school (age
12) but has no emotional charge when thinking about them. Similarly,
when asked to imagine her worst public speaking nightmare, she knows
that she would feel panic, but cannot actually feel anything right as
she is sitting in the office chair ("I am fine because I know I don't
actually have to go on stage now"). I ended up doing lots of rounds on
all of her limiting beliefs (e.g. "I am no good at communicating"
etc.) and she didn't seem to budge either.
Because of my initial training, I am thinking of using regression
next, but considering I have decided to use EFT exclusively in the
future, I'd like to know alternative ways of dealing with this.
