EFT THERAPY
AN INTERVIEW EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES PRACTITIONER BARBARA THOREN PARKER

1) What started you on the path of being an energy healer?

Due to a personal crisis in my life, I found energy work. I was near a nervous breakdown, feeling unable to handle what stood before me. I considered tranquilizers, not wanting to experience a complete breakdown. At that time, I came across a brochure on energy work and decided to give it a try.

After my first session, I felt a shift, feeling more in control of my life and my emotions. After four sessions, I was able to confront my situation with strength and confidence without taking tranquilizers. I wanted to facilitate other's healing in the same way and began my journey toward finding the modality of energy work I would use in my practice.

2) What inspired you to become a Certified Nutritional Consultant and EFT Therapy Practioner?

In my opinion, two of the main components that contribute to dis-ease are emotions and diet/nutritional deficiencies. EFT addresses the emotional aspects of dis-ease. As a Certified Nutritional Consultant, C.N.C., I can address the nutritional aspects of dis-ease.

3) Some of our readers may not be familiar with Emotional Freedom Techniques. How does EFT Therapy work and how is it different from other energy healing modalities?

Emotional Freedom Technique is an emotional form of accupunture without the needles. Any negative emotion is a disruption in the energy system. By tapping on accupunture points and focusing on a negative emotion or dis-ease symptom, you can many times clear the disruption and the negative emotion or dis-ease symptom vanishes.

It's really quite amazing! Many times the body has stacked several layers of emotions, one on top of the other. When this is the case, more advanced techniques are required to remove the layers one by one. EFT is different from other modalities, I feel, due to the fact that there is more outward client participation.

This participaction, the client tapping on the accupuncture point or doing other techniques, I feel, gives the person a sense of control and empowerment in their own healing. Of course, the client is always the healer and the energy worker the facilitator. Also EFT is something the client can take with them. When they have a negative emotion they can tap it out as they learn the techniques and how to apply them.

4) How have EFT therapy and nutrition improved your life?

EFT and nutrition has greatly improved my life. At 55 years of age, I finally knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, I knew my true purpose for being. Having my practice in EFT and nutritional consulting gives me a satisfaction that nothing else has given me. It's so rewarding to assist people in healing and improving their lives.

5) Would you share a healing story that you've experienced in your practice?

I worked with a man who when he called for an appointment told me he had tried everything including drugs and pychotherapy and that I was his last hope.

The first time I saw him he felt his life was out of control and that everyone around him was manipulating him. During his four sessions of EFT, this man had fully taken his power back and was self-assured and confident that he had regained control of his life. Such a drastic change in someone in such a short time (about four weeks) is a beautiful thing to experience.
