I came across this story about a professional athlete who was losing his ability to perform adequately in major league baseball. Jarrod Saltalamacchia is a pitcher with the Red Sox, who developed the “yips” when he needed to throw the ball. He turned to a therapist specializing in helping athletes with performance issues – a therapist who had added EFT to his tools for helping athletes consistently offer their best.
Have a look at Jarrod’s story: http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/mlb/columns/story?columnist=edes_gordon&id=6103972.
So, why do I care about what professional athletes are doing? Well, many of us have similar problems, but it shows up as a fear of public speaking, test anxiety or an inability to drive over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Tapping works with these problems too!
I have used EFT, and other energy approaches, to help clients get free of their fears. My only real questions are why more therapists are not offering it, why more people are not giving it a try. The evidence of success is there, yet some people still say, “I don’t really believe in things like that.”
Tapping (EFT) is not about belief – it is about using the energy systems within one’s own body. But it is also about doing something different, something outside our frame of reference, and about facing success.
