For those of you looking for critical thinking exercises for various classes, may I alert you to the EFT Newsletter. It brightens my day fairly often with an abundance of opportunities to think critically about therapeutic techniques. Just today, the following arrived. Now I know that some of you have been skeptical of published empirical reports of the effectiveness of intercessory prayer. Now comes news that EFT (involving tapping exercises) can work, not just with a client but with someone else who is just thinking about the person in need of EFT. I heartily recommend this newsletter to you for which there seems to be no end of examples to use in critical thinking exercises. BTW, this technique seems to be effective not just with emotional trauma but also all manner of physical disorders (see Featured Article #1 for an example). In fact, it seems that the fact that effectiveness has not been shown in the treatment of any particular physical disorder seems largely due to the fact that no one has yet tried EFT on it.
EFT Insights Newsletter: January 21, 2009 Featured Articles Featured Article #1: Photo results of four minutes of EFT for polyarthritis http://www.emofree.com/Pain-management/polyarthritis-relief-eft.htm: Can you imagine the huge relief resulting from the benefits displayed in the photos? Not every EFT session ends in such a dramatic result and EFT newcomer Brigitte Schiechel from Germany deserves an applause for providing it. Note that this result was generated by tapping along with a session from our DVD Libraries https://www.emoree.com/eftstore. Featured Article #2: Surrogate tapping for the fear of flying http://www.emofree.com/Fear/surrogate-flying-fear-judy.htm: Judy Whitcraft taps with Hank's wife in behalf of Hank's intense fear of flying. Note that Hank was not present during this surrogate tapping session but got noticeable results anyway. Note also that Hank may be much farther along than he thinks. This may be a result of the "fear of the fear" that Judy explains near the end of her article. Featured Article #3: Releasing chaotic behavior through EFT http://www.emofree.com/Articles2/chaotic-behavior.htm: Nanditha Ram from the UK brings us this useful case involving one of her clients. The client says, "I have struggled for years to overcome my tendency to generate chaos - I am famous for losing my keys, misplacing my phone or important papers, and for being quite a chaotic home-maker in general, coupled with a predisposition to procrastinate." Anyone recognize themselves in this description? Rick Dr. Rick Froman, Chair Division of Humanities and Social Sciences Professor of Psychology Box 3055 John Brown University 2000 W.

Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights."
