Hi. After going through many losses and many traumatic experiences over the years several years ago I began doing much research on wholistic emotional healing techniques otherwise known as energy psychology. The one that I like the most is EFT (emotional freedom technique). It works through tapping on specific acupuncture points which releases old pent up emotions easily and painlessly. Its fairly simple and can absolutely be self-taught. I'm choosing to study it at great length to get better results by using a home study DVD set.
The manual is a free download there are lots of articles, a free newsletter and a couple of forums. The website is emofree.com.
What I look for is in any approach that I explore is: is it accessible? reasonably priced? self-empowering? effective?
What I love about EFT is how passionately the founders are in getting the technique out there to everyone for as low a cost as possible. They have a loose copyright on the DVDs where you can make up to 100 copies for free. Anyway I've had many positive quick sometimes dramatic experiences with EFT and can recommend it as an effective tool.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I searched around and tried everything known to man also.

Confrontational therapy. If you can't confront it - it owns you.

Emotional trauma is much tougher than physical trauma. When I first read Dianetics back in 1988 it literally saved my life. Finally someone knew what I was talking about, what was going on in my head. I was ready and willing to check out at the time.

Read Dianetics and then read "Self Analysis" by Hubbard. I've been applying what I learned in those two books since then and made it all the way back from the war doing that. Pretty significant. It works.

Of course that's why all the controversy surounding Dianetics and Scientology. It works. The powers that be don't like anything that works, that improves people physically, mentally or spiritually. That's why you have to seek the truth. It ain't on the 6 o'clock news.

You the spirit are much more powerful then they want you to believe. That's why confrontational therapy works. Any problem you have put it right in front of you. You the spirit will win. Look at it until you see the truth of it and then you'll be free of it. It takes a little bit more knowledge than that but that's the basics.

Historically it goes all the way back to "confession is good for the soul" type thing. Of course keep your confessions to yourself but first you have to find out what to confess (confront).

When I first started doing this I was overwhelmed with problems. My entire life was a complete mess. I envisioned myself standing in this 20 square foot room with a large fan at one end turned on high and all these little pieces of paper flying around. Each piece of paper had a problem on it I had to solve. I'd just grab one out of the air and put it right in front of me and handled it. Little problems, big problems, anything. It took a while but eventually no more problems.

Like the physical there aren't any quick fixes to the emotional trauma. After you do this for a while a pattern shows up. Most of the problems you think you have are other peoples problems that they laid on you. To make you feel guilty, get sympathay from you, control you or whatever.

Part of being a fully responsible person is allowing others their roll in being responsible. That's slipery but take a close look at it. How can it be any other way?

The other thing is a thorough understanding of the "Overt act/withhold" phenomonon. If you commit a crime against someone (overt act) you will NOT allow yourself friendship with that person (withhold). Which explains why politicians, government and disease doctors are NOT our friends. Too many crimes against us. Therefore they try to keep us blind to their crimes. That's why they own the media. On and on it goes.

The remedy Morris mentioned I've heard both good and no results about. Like the Bach flower remedies. But whether they are permenent remedies or not is questionable.

Emotional issues are tough but never the less very doable. I used Dianetics and Self Analysis with a combination of the responsibilty axium and a thorough understanding of the Overt act/withhold phenomonon to resolve ALL the emotional issue life (war) had given me. Plus some tech to get rid of the bad guys - the vampire people.

Yeah, I did all the religious stuff, give it all to God or Jesus or whoever. Also did all the other mental gymnastic available. Yoga, TM, Eastern relgions, brainwashing technics, subliminal stuff, self hypnosis, "The secret", all the "usual" fare. All to no avail. None of it worked until I took full resopnsibility for it all. Then I just dug in and got the job done. Again, "The only way out is through" kicks in.

That's what worked for me (confrontational therapy) and so far everyone that has applied that little piece of knowledge has fared pretty darn good. Oh, as you confront these traumas remember you're only looking at the pictures, the memories, and they can't hurt you, they're only pictures - not the original event.

The truth sets you free - nothing else.
