		<description>bhd: Thanks so much for stopping by and telling your tale. So great that you were able to get your head together about your body, and then find the guy who loves both of them! (I love that the fact that you are &quot;pretty and fun&quot; are objective facts, tried and tested. Just so you know, I&#039;m picturing everyone wearing white lab coats, hardhats and safety goggles during the testing.)</description>

		<description>Dear Jeff, Maeve:

I am impressed by the great advise and responses. Jeff, you are a really, really sound person..

I have a disability. I was injured at 22 years old by a drunken driver. I have great difficulty walking and my body is full of scars and a bit weird (OK, deformed) in some places. There is other stuff, but you get the idea. I am also pretty and fun. These are objective facts, tried and tested.

Jeff is 100% right, more than 100% right about the impact of how you feel about yourself will have in your relationships, and in the type of men you will meet. I wish I had received such advise when I was young.

After 10 years of dating post-injury, I have had all types of boyfriends. But the truth is that I was not lucky in love until I was able through counselling to love myself and my body. Inmediately after I reached that stage, out of the blue, I met a handsome, intelligent, comitted guy who just does not give a sh*t about any of the stuff that troubles me. HE REALLY DOES NOT. We live together and are very happy...

Jeff is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about men wanting to fix things. The more I am upset about not looking perfect in a bikini, or having to use a wheelchair sometimes, the more he gets restless and feels like he is not doing enough to make me happy. So, I just try to chill out and be happy..</description>

		<description>Hey, to everyone there, I just remembered another EFT victory--that might be pertinent to this website.

While having dinner with a friend a few years back, she began to recount how she hadn&#039;t had any romance for years, because her dad was such a curmudgeon that he never accepted her boyfriends.

Now, with EFT, it&#039;s easier for me to just whip out a few quick rounds than it is for me to hear people gripe or solidify their limitting beliefs by repeating them with conviction to me.

So, I offered to do EFT with her.  She was game.  In ten minutes, at the restaurant, we did it.  Some of it was very deep--as her dad was dying, and her mother had died years before.  She cried.   No one noticed.  We did a few rounds.  Her face lightened, she resumed eating.

Afterwards, we went outside, and she was remarking on how beautiful everything was--even the tired old red bricks of the apartment buildings.

Within a month she started dating again.   Within  three months she had met a man who she was very happy about.  Within a year they were engaged, traveling the world, and now they&#039;re happily married.

It was one of the EFT wonderworks.  She did personal work too, and this came at the end and just loosened the final ties to limitting beliefs, then the world was opened, or her perception of it was.

Again, it was in addressing the blindspots that we got to things she hadn&#039;t been able to surmount herself earlier.

It was profound to see the rapid, positive, permanent changes that happened after the way was cleared, as if helpers had just been waiting for her to get out of her own way so they could give her all those good things to enjoy life with.</description>

		<description>I hear you, Maeve!  And I&#039;m glad the other respondant gave me an introduction with this:  I know that EFT can help you.

The turmoil from all the issues will be addressed, and you&#039;ll feel a sense of harmony.   Over time, if you use the EFT tapping on yourself, you&#039;ll calm the symptoms of the autism you describe.  No gaurantees on the hair or skin physical symptoms, but with the stress lessened and softened,  many sensitivities you describe will subside and you&#039;ll have options the rest of us use like crazy to fit into this hairless, airbrushed world, or you&#039;ll choose not to and feel great about that decision.

I do EFT.  I&#039;m a practitioner, and take clients, and I&#039;ve been using it myself on myself for years, on everything.  For clients I&#039;ve worked with severe fears of flying, depression, anxiety, pain, migraines, speech impediments, addictions, trauma, including incest and ptsd,  body numbness, injuries, emotional upset, financial difficulties, to improve performance, and more.

It&#039;s effective over the phone, if we don&#039;t live near each other and you want to try a session.

The EFT website has many articles, on everything you can imagine.  There you&#039;re free to   download the manual, which tells you the steps, so you can learn the protocol and do it on yourself.

www.emofree.com

Check it out.  I do recommend that people work with a good EFT practitioner though, at least for the harshest or most stuck issues

A good EFT practitioner can help you through the blindspots you have.  From your letter to Jeff, for instance, I hear issues under the issues, even though you didn&#039;t consciously articulate them.  I would tune into these and we&#039;d speak them out, as you tap, and you&#039;ll be amazed at how free you become.

Isn&#039;t loving ourselves a life time of work?  Confidence ebbs and flows.  In the meantime, we want some companionship and wonder if we&#039;re good enough to have it.  We have issues of self-love, love from the other sex, or the desired sex, from our parents, society, and even issues of whether we&#039;re loved by God (whatever our ideal of God is.)    On top of all that, we want to give love too, and back we go to the cycle of worth and acceptance.

I&#039;m finding that love is a lifetime practice, with frequent tuning along the way.

EFT has been a good tool for that tuning.

If you&#039;d like to hear more about the EFT, I&#039;ll be happy to do a half hour free consultation, and you can decide whether it sounds like something you&#039;d enjoy.

With best regards,
Jennifer

		<description>Wow, what a lot of advice!

Jeff, I hadn&#039;t expected someone to actually try and answer this so thank you for taking me seriously and being so detailed in your reply lol.

Shelby, thank you for sharing your story. I hope I can learn to be as confident as you are. And I&#039;ve never heard of Cushing&#039;s Syndrome but I&#039;ll ask my doctor about it, just in case.

Loiralei, what you describe is part of what I have too. Not exactly the same, but similar. It is a fight to just cross my doorstep, but I&#039;ll be strong ;)

Sassy, thanks, that is good to know!

Susan, maybe I should go write that &quot;novel&quot; and see what happens if I let the worries go and let creativity flow, thank you!

Wilmo, someone else also suggested this today, so I will certainly follow up on it, thanks

And Honesty, that has never occured to me but I&#039;ll check out the link ;)

And Jeff, sorry if I burst your bubble of belief in being more than &quot;mere mortal&quot; lol, that was not my intention ^^

Thank you all, I already feel much better ;)</description>

		<description>Your social anxiety doesn&#039;t sound like autism to me--doctors often pick convenient labels when they don&#039;t understand something. It sounds like you are what&#039;s call a Sensitive, or empath. The reason you get so anxious is because you pick up on much of the anxiety etc that&#039;s all around you. We live in a fear-based world, and it&#039;s not easy for a sensitive to live here and stay grounded and positive without having psychic protection. I highly suggest you check the following site for assistance. I deal with this issue myself, so I know what it&#039;s like, and I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if your skin problems weren&#039;t manifestations of dealing with all the psychic stuff you absorb because you haven&#039;t learned how to deal with it yet. Here is a great site that offers audios on Psychic Self Defense for the sensitive---please check it out. Good Luck to you!  http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/esc/products.php?category_id=51</description>
