Wallace, thank you for your elucidation. I notice you mention imprinting. This together with bonding make up two of the biggest natural conditions that shape humans as with other animals. The hardest part of EFT to give credence to is the tapping thing. But an open mind is necessary and the positive mantra approach is something that does work. Patience is also so necessary .. as you imply you can give yourself an overnight cure but sensibly you should keep at it until you win through or at least get improvement. Mind over matter has always appealed to me. The mind is an awesome instrument to deploy effectively. How remiss is each one of us in not giving oneself a much improved outcome especially if you run into difficulties? Mind you, setbacks or difficulties are often only notions of conception when they can be alternatively looked at as challenges you can surmount or opportunities in which you can triumph. Almost anything in ones life can be viewed as positive or negative. The choice is with each individual.
