EFT Master Rehana Webster Continues Her EFT Tapping Solution For Picky Eaters
This is part 2 of Rehana’s article about her use of EFT tapping as a solution for dealing with picky eaters. You will find part 1 here, and part 3 here.
EFT Tapping While Discussing The Problem
I asked Tom if his mother had done EFT tapping on or with him and he said he didn’t want that. So I asked him if I could show him how relaxing it was and before he could come up with an excuse I started EFT tapping gently on him and saw that he immediately relaxed. I continued EFT tapping on him while we discussed the intricate aspects of food and vegetables, and what he could allow himself to eat, or not eat. I continued to tap on his EFT tapping points while we had a conversation about his picky eating habits.
EFT Tapping Without Setups
We didn’t use any set up statements and just had a chit chat at an eight year old level about soft and warm food. He certainly had some very complex rules about food. Susan was watching from the side lines. She told me later that he would not let her touch him and she was not allowed to even show him how the tapping worked.
From EFT Tapping To NLP Parts
Tom changed tack then. He said, “There is a part of me that switches on at night and another part that switches on during the day, and the parts are getting mixed up. One of the parts wants to change. I’ve been thinking of how that could happen?”
Form French Fries To Fried Vegetables
Really… all this from an eight year old? This was an unprecedented opportunity not to be missed. I asked Tom, “Which one part did?” He replied, “The part that was the one that could eat home made French fries.” I pointed out that French fries are soft and warm. He patiently explained, “The fries can only be eaten if they are popped into hot oil for three seconds and no more, or they wouldn’t be edible.” I wanted to bring in a counter example of this and asked, “What about if the frozen vegetables were popped into the hot oil for 3 seconds, and no more than 3 seconds, could you eat them just like you eat the fries?” After all the taste/feel buds on his tongue and stomach thought that it was OK to eat soft/warm fries, so therefore he could trust that the taste/feel buds would now feel it was also safe and let him eat the quick fried frozen vegetables as well.
NLP Anchoring In Support Of EFT Tapping
While he was talking about the fries, instead of doing EFT tapping, I took the opportunity to anchor the feelings on his left wrist and while we spoke about the vegetables, I anchored the feelings on his right wrist. Then I took the conversation to the part of him which could eat warm, soft fries and didn’t think that warm, soft vegetables were edible. While we talked I kept firing the anchors, and kept him engaged in the conversation about these dissenting parts.
Homework Without EFT Tapping
This was an intense EFT tapping and NLP session and as we were about to end, I asked Tom if he could try out the vegetables and see how his stomach responded. He said he would give it a try but he certainly was not convinced at all. I also asked him to report back to me the next morning and I can tell you I had no hope at all that he would do that, let alone change his eating habits.
This is the end of Part 2.
