INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 6: Visualization
They were let loose to play and be with who they wished. It was
horrifying for me. I had no one to be with; I wasn’t part of any
group. I had struggled, but came to realize that I did’t fit in
anywhere or with anyone.
I wrote my book
Courage, Strength &
Beauty, in order to
help teenagers and
adults suffering from
fear, to develop the
courage they need to
live freely in the world

Tapping of EFT Method
Tapping is a technique defined by the Tapping
Method Solution as: “Like acupuncture and
acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques which
utilize the body's energy meridian points. You can
stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them
with your fingertips–literally tapping into your body's
own energy and healing power.”
It might sound a little foo-foo to you, but I’ve used
this technique for many reasons and it really helps
calm me down. You tap on these different points on
your face and body while reciting positive
affirmations that allow you to acknowledge your
feelings and then welcome in new thoughts about
how you feel. To the right is a graphic of where the
different tapping points are to help you get
familiarized with the technique.
Research Validates EFT's Effectiveness
In a critical review published in the American Psychological
Association's (APA) journal Review of General Psychology last year,
researchers found EFT "consistently demonstrated strong effect sizes
and other positive statistical results far exceed chance after relatively
few treatment sessions."
Other recent studies demonstrate how EFT can accomplish
remarkable progress in a very short amount of time for people with a
history of trauma. For example:
I found guided meditations where someone is talking with soft music in the
background guiding me to breathe and imagine different things to help
me relax my mind and body the most.

Remember...
Small steps toward becoming the vision of yourself you
want to be, are the victories that will take you to your
ultimate goal. We won’t change from one day to the
next, and we don’t have to. What’s important to
remember is that its progress, not perfection we are
looking for.
