How do we store information?What role does the brain play during birth?

How does it store trauma?

Why can’t I ‘just’ get over it?

“My partner wonders why I can’t get over it...”“I want to forget but I still feel it is there...”

“When I look into the mirror I see the damage...”“If I hold my baby it reminds me of...”

“I just can’t make sense out of nonsense...”

Emotional Freedom Technique“EFT is the most popular form of energy psychology and was

developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig. The method involves tapping specific points on your head and chest with your fingertips while thinking about your specific problem - be it a traumatic event, an

addiction, pain, etc.

Clinical trials have shown that EFT is able to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories and incidents that trigger emotional

distress. Once the distress is reduced or removed, your body can often rebalance itself, and accelerate healing.” Dr. Mercola
