Energy therapies
I'm glad you are open minded to energy therapies. EMDR and EFT are superior to many therapies, I still regard them as week. There are 2 reasons why EFT may not be working for you:
1. You are not targeting the issue correctly.
2. You may be in that 15% that are dissociated. None of those therapies will work with that.
The only therapies I know of that effectively deal with dissociation are BSFF by Dr. Nims and Inner Influencing developed by Paul Gleblick. The latter being the most effective.
In the last decades there has arisen a myth, a kind of a hen or the egg conundrum, does the body affect the mind, or does the mind affect the body?
It has been my experience that it is primarily less than ideal emotions stuck in the subconscious that first affect the body.
The disease not clearing indicates that not all of the emotions have been released.
