Hi Stephan
Thank you for replying. I appreciate it.
I must admit, I find your explanation confusing. With EFT, one doesn't try to move anything along channels. At least I don't.
If there is some energy blockage on one or more of the meridians, a person would presumably want to come to terms with whatever is causing that energy blockage. So they tap on the meridians while focusing on the problem and/or a potential solution. Nothing is supposed to be forced through, in or out, of any meridians. They are mostly being used for their symbolic value in representing a person's emotions and issues. The person then becomes more aware of why they are reacting the way they are, and, continuing to tap, they begin to feel safe with their reaction, and then it can change to a different reaction, etc.
I like the idea of BSFF, and I'm wondering, is a person supposed to use the same cue word for each type of issue? I found it more effective to say a different cue word for each issue. Am I missing the point? Also, is it normal to say it many times in a row? At one point, I tried saying a name for the issue, I repeated it many times, and gradually the beginnings or endings of the name sort of vanished and I was just left with a part of the word which gradually petered out. Is this BSFF? So like, if I was upset that my flowers were dying, I'd say Flowers. Then it wouldn't bother me so much, but I'd allow myself to repeat whatever part of the word still seemed significant, so I said "Lowers" "Low, low low" "fl". And then it was all gone. With EFT I would have more of an interaction and get to know my feeligns better, first that i was angry that they were dying, then I said thank you and explored in which way they did me a favour, then I saw that they were teaching me about life, that things die, and so I felt v
ery sorry and my anger dissipated, and then I felt a little guilty for not looking after them enough. And then I resolved to treat future flowers better.
So you see, BSFF was much faster at eliminating distress, but I think it leaves out some of the stages and emotions and knowledge, if you know what I mean. On the other hand, it allows you to zoom in on a problem and dissipate distress, without needing to learn all the psychology and free flowing thoughts that I use with EFT, and without fear of what might come up.
With regard to disassociation, I would put that figure much higher than 15%. Most people have blind spots and only gradually clear them. Each blind spot is a disassociation from the problem. The issues people come to therapy for are the easier issues! As they gain trust in the process, they try it for things that are more significant for them, that they'd been heretofore blocking from their own consciousness. I personally can't believe how many issues I've gradually come to work on, feeling sure that finally I've cracked the code and now my life will be simple and fun - and I really do work through that, and then I find another huge issue that heretofore had been a blind spot for me. With EFT you only succeed in healing the issues you can bear to face, and also only if you can handle the recovery. Perhaps with BSFF you can "heal" more issues faster, but it seems like the healing only touches the distress level aspect. Or am I wrong?
I have used the term EFT to include other similar methods, like ET, which include talking and focusing and thinking of issues, as opposed to BSFF; although EFT involves far more talking that straight ET.
You say that Leigh healed DID in one session, however, nobody has all their issues fixed in one session. For example, perhaps the DIDness that raised its head in that session was cured, but did that represent all the DIDness of the person, and was the DID all the person's issues? Life keeps on moving and presenting us with challenges, and each new challenge encourages us to deal with one more aspect of our unhealed past. So I'm impressed about healing DID in a session, and I'd like to find out more about what and how he did it.
I see these energy psychology methods as all different tools. I'm gradually coming to the belief that although it may be that a person can use ANY ONE tool all the time, and perhaps that will help him plumb the depths of what the tool can do; yet if you have a variety of tools at your disposal you can be better and faster at whatever you're doing.
Thanks to everyone for participating in and encouraging this fascinating discussion.
Hi Rachel.
With BSFF, we ask "Where do you feel it?" "What color is it?' Instead of trying to move it along channels, by using the cue it can be dissipated. However should the color be black, it is often very stubborn and must be moved out of the body and a shield placed around the patient so the black can't reenter. http://www.besetfreefast.com/
BSFF uses a set up directly addressing the subconscious covering most possibilities of resistance and blockage. Simply using a self chosen cue word is the same as an entire EFT sequence. We address issues such as subconscious resistance and muscle testing to discover and overcome this resistance.
In the event of dissociation all energy techniques fail. This occurs in about 15% of patients. Leigh Skews in Australia has discovered a very effective method to overcome this. I have personally witnessed him heal patients with (DID) multiple personality disorder in one session.
Dr. Nims' videos shows him using some tapping, he no longer uses tapping as he has discovered that all this tapping, hand positions,etc are nothing but signals to the subconscious to act on the affirmation. Dr. Nims was a student of Callahan, like Craig and Tappas and other great pioneers that have left conventional psychotherapy looking quite ineffective.
Sincerely,
Stephen

Stephen,
WHEE is amazing, but I find that I have to label the feeling accurately for it to be effective, and then it dissolves unpleasant feelings in seconds. However, I find that for other uses, EFT is better, like for finding out how one feels about something (just tap on all the points repeating a word), or for goal setting, (Even though I don't believe I can manage etc). Each has it's place. However, I'd like to find out what you mean about BSFF. In which way is it amazing? Can you give a short summary of how to do it? How does he include the ET principle?
thanks
Rachel

Hello Helle,
I have not used EFT in years, I have found that WHEE is much faster and just as good. But best of all BSFF is unbelievably fast and much more thorough than any of them, including TAT. The ET principle has been discovered independently by Dr. Larry Nims which he incorporates naturally with the BSFF protocol.

Hi Terry and Julie,
I've watched some of his videos and I really like it but I still haven't
quite figured
out what exactly "faster EFT" is. Can either of you help me - maybe one of
his
videos explains it?
Thanks
Helle
