RE: [ET2]SERIOUS WARNING - Class A drug addiction

Hi Linda,

an important topic and potentially EXTREMELY DANGEROUS one.

I stress this to all MET/ET trainers I have ever trained and stress it
over and over again in the trainings I write for others to conduct,
namely that if you have seriously disturbed or mentally ill people on
your hands, DONT TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGEPOLE AND REFER THEM ON
IMMEDIATELY.

IMMEDIATELY.

No exceptions.

No excuses.

Unless you are a clinical psychologist with the requisite training,
experience, backup, referal network, DONT TOUCH SUCH CLIENTS.

If they have turned up and you're taking their history and it turns out
that they have been hospitalised, taken psychoactive drugs, have a long,
long history of mental illness, DO NOT TOUCH THEM.

End it there and send them away.

I'm not kidding, I'm not joking, I couldn't get any more serious if I
tried.

We have had last year a case of an over eager EFT practitioner with no
training in serious mental illness clients (holistic therapist) who took
on a person who had a MASSIVE history of satanic abuse and all sorts.

The person abreacted and HAS BEEN ON THE WARPATH against this therapist
ever since. They've got them kicked out of every association, have
complained to their insurers and recently even got their member of
parliament involved on their behalf.

DO ANY OF YOU WANT THIS SORT OF THING TO HAPPEN TO YOU?

NO?

Then LISTEN TO ME and leave mentally ill people to the mental health
professionals.

Even if you have the SLIGHTEST DOUBT about the client, play it SAFE and
don't touch them.

People with long histories of mental illness have EXTREMELY DISTURBED
ENERGY SYSTEMS which do not function or react to energy tapping
treatments in the general cause-and-effect fashion.

It is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS to deal with such people with a "heyho we tap
on everything" attitude - it can even be PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS (I
remember an overeager EFT beaver reaching over to tap ON someone like
that and getting their face smashed in in an abreaction reflex).

There are plenty of psychologists who are ALSO energy therapies
practitioners and who are trained HARD AND LONG to be able to cope with
the eventualities of seriously disturbed people.

REFER.

Play it safe.

"Those who treat and refer away, get to treat another day"

Really.

Thank you for bringing this up and please everyone, REMEMBER THIS.

Seriously,

Silvia Hartmann
