[ET2] Re: EmoTrance is Psychobabble?

Considering the things I know -- EFT, BSFF, Zensight, Emotrance, TAT and Emotion Code, quite a few people consider ET to be the weirdest.

In terms of psychobabble, there's so little getting into the psychology of the problem that it isn't really psycho and so little talking altogether that it isn't really babble either.

I understand the resistance from some psychology professionals though. They see so many strange things people try that really are pure bunk that they hesitate to join in on something that looks that way.

I was thinking that if I was watching an Emotion Code treatment on my sister from across the room, what would I see? "Well, first he started at a little card and pumped her arm like he was trying to get water from a well, then he put the card down and gave a few more pumps for good measure. Then he walked over to the refrigerator door, pulled off a magnet, and used it to scratch her back like she itched or something. That was the whole thing, and now she thinks she feel better. What a load of . . ."

Well, the card is the rows and columns of emotions to be tested for, the extra pumping is to get an approximate age for the problem, and the scratching the back is using the magnet to stimulate the governing vessel along the spine. But to an outsider this stuff really does look like we're a bunch of flim-flam artists (don't know what the British terms are for this).

Oh, and while ET is possibly the most direct and useful of the things I know, my favorite for doing it is Zensight. There's something about the healing statements and imagery that I just love.

And one advantage to having the 'establishment' reject all this is that we don't need 6 or 8 years of college and a state license to do it. That may be coming if we're accepted enough, though.
