Can anybody spot something I am missing? I am sure you have all had
times when EFT appears not to be working. I say appear as I believe
EFT works all the time. I believe when EFT is not working there is
something you have missed. I had a client come to me with a classic
driving phobia. It started off with motorway driving and has slowly
lead to driving down hills, going around bends, driving fast and
leading towards problems with normal town driving. Although my
client has this phobia he does still drive. He is confronting his
fear all the time. The client is perfectly fine as a passenger.
What I describe has been over 3 sessions.

I started off by asking what was going on in his life around the time
of the phobia starting. He could not think of anything special. I
also asked about his past history in general if he had ever been in
an accident, ever saw a car crash etc. Again he could not think of
anything relevant. I then moved onto the phobia itself starting off
with global statements'. This was not producing any results. So we
then got more precise with the wording and split the phobia up into
its individual parts. Again this was getting us nowhere.

As you will know when things appear not to be moving there is
normally a limiting belief or some sort of writings on the walls
causing a blockage. I backed tracked a bit and checked things like
if the client thought it was safe to get rid of the phobia, if he
deserves, any possible reasons why having the phobia would be good,
if the phobia is a mask for something else etc. I also done some
muscle testing. Once we had done that we then tapped on how the
client felt about himself and the phobia so things like shame, guilt,
anger etc

I then moved back to the phobia itself. Now for every part of the
phobia such as motorway driving, driving around bends etc the client
would describe it as fear and panic. His description never changed
for any part of the phobia. Although we had covered all the possible
secondary gains and got the clients feelings about himself and the
phobia out of the way the phobia will still not budge. We have tried
being more specific, splitting the phobia up into the individual
parts, used the choices technique, body sensations he feels etc
I have had difficult phobia before but this the most difficult I have
ever had. Can anybody think of anything I may have missed or
suggest something new to try?
