My first experience of working with Stroke recovery came from my husband. 

 

He experienced a TIA aged 38, and as a young, fit man, outwardly the picture of health, it came as a massive shock and blow. Whilst he made a full recovery physically, he was a changed man emotionally.

The happy-go-lucky man I had fallen in love with became fearful, risk-adverse, resentful and anxious, although of course he carried on regardless.

 

I recognised he was suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, but it took several years for him to accept this! When he was finally ready for me to treat him, it took a single session of EFT (one hour) to achieve a massive breakthrough which completely changed his outlook on life and removed his anxiety completely. 

 

My next Stroke recovery client was an older male who had experienced a stroke 4 months previously. He had lost 50% of the movement in his right arm and said he was unable to smile. I asked if the inability to smile came from the physical or emotional effects of the stroke, and he said he wasn't sure. We worked on both the trauma of his experience and the pain in his arm, and less than an hour later he was smiling and had the full range of movement back in his arm, pain free.

 

I realised that EFT is an invaluable tool for Stroke recovery as it can work on both the trauma and the physical side-effects, achieving tangible results very quickly.  For those experiencing more prominent physical effects such as difficulty speaking (aphasia) or loss of movement which means they cannot tap, EFT can still be used with a little modification, making it accessible to almost everyone. 

 

I’m passionate about using EFT with people recovering from Stroke to help them move forward from the trauma and regain physical abilities they may have lost.
