Louise - Holistic Health Psychotherapist

This International Women's Day, may you look in the mirror and see the strength it took to get to this day.

Look to yourself to see the beauty and wonder that you are.

The delicate and magnificent life force that you carry.

Look within and nurture all the variations that you had to become to arrive here today.

You are worthy.

You are always enough.

You are loved even on the days you feel unlovable.

You are the result of a lineage of thousands of women who are all cheering you on.

and

Never, ever forget how powerful you are.

Lou, 🤍

How are y'all doing? I mean REALLY how are you all doing?

January always feels like 12mths in one doesn't it!?

This is just a reminder to say... remember we are still in winter.

The time to withdraw and recover, just like nature does.

To nurture ourselves and slow down just like nature does.

Despite what society tells us, we are creatures of nature, and when we live in sync with it we generally tend to fare better.

We all have this wonderful life force that we carry around daily, I think we forget about that and we become so separate from it.

Separate from ourselves.

Then wonder why we feel disconnected, disassociated and overwhelmed with life.

Myself included, sometimes.

So please... do whatever you need to do to bring yourself back to who you are.

If you're struggling, reach out, there is always help available here 🤍

EFT Tapping really does make a huge difference, when added into your healing journey 🌸

Time stands still and something from a long time ago can seem like it was yesterday.

Tapping can help 💞

Clinical EFT shown to be a safe, rapid, reliable and effective therapy suitable for primary care settings 🌸

Today I proofed the next paper we have coming out - Clinical EFT as an Evidence-Based Practice for the Treatment of Psychological and Physiological Conditions. It will be out soon!

In 2013 Dawson Church published a paper defining Clinical EFT and reviewing published research. It has been viewed or downloaded over 36,000 times, indicating widespread interest in this treatment modality. Here we updated the findings based on subsequently published literature, and propose directions for future research.

Retrieval of 4,167 results resulted in the identification of 56 RCTs (N=2,013), 41 of which were published subsequent to the earlier review, as well as eight meta-analyses.

Results: RCTs have found EFT treatment to be effective for (a) psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); (b) physiological issues such as pain, insomnia, and autoimmune conditions; (c) professional and sports performance; and (d) biological markers of stress. Meta-analyses evaluating the effect of EFT treatment have found it to be “moderate” to “large.” Next steps include determining its impact on cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive impairment; analysis of the large-scale datasets made possible by mobile apps; and delivery through channels such as virtual practitioner sessions, online courses, apps and standardized group therapy.

Clinical EFT is an evidence-based stable and mature method and can be used in primary care settings as a safe, rapid, reliable, and effective treatment for both psychological and medical diagnoses continue to grow 💞

Resolving sleep issues using EFT 💤

Sleep studies this week by Dr Peta Stapleton

We are looking at sleep this week!

The late Dr Patricia Carrington shares - this unconventional technique to see how it works for you the next time you are awake in the night or can't fall asleep.

When you want to go to sleep, use imaginal EFT only (i.e. tap in your imagination only at each spot) so that doing EFT will not awaken you as you begin to drift off to sleep.
Use the paradoxical (going opposite) EFT statement, “I can't get to sleep" at each tapping point, using only these words.
Observe what happens…

Report back!

Start your day with positive, kind words of affirmations about yourself.

Whether you believe it or not, these words carry a balancing frequency that change how you feel about yourself.

People ask me "how come you're so happy and chilled?"

This beautiful soul (Lucy) is a major part of the reason why.

I 'thought' I knew myself really well.

Lucy through her classes introduced me to a whole new level of understanding of who and what I am.

She guides me on a journey of self discovery via my body, breath and mind 🧘🏼‍♀️

Are there any side effects - yes.... Inner peace, calmness and tranquility in your being.

Who doesn't want that!?

Lucy is honestly East Anglia's best kept secret 💛

My word/ theme for June is “returning”
I’m exploring it through yoga - through asana, pranayama, meditation, silence and stillness. Also in the chaos and busyness of life & motherhood.

For me, the feeling of returning is a feeling of remembrance. It’s yoking with truth. It’s something more than this dimension. It’s all pervading peace. It’s an inner knowing. A lifting of the veil. A glimpse of samadhi.

It’s found in stillness, sometimes in chaos.
It’s sublime.

How do you return to yourself? To your truth? To your peace? To these moments that are fleeting?

This.. 🧘🏼‍♀️🌿🕉️🦋

I thought I knew what silence was. Turns out I didn't know a thing about it.

Ta**ra Hatha Yoga, Pranayama breathing and meditation has taught me what silence is.

Sitting in silence and stillness is so freeing.

Expansive and otherworldly.

Sitting in silent meditation with others is so incredibly powerful too.

Being in each other's energetic fields whilst your minds are recharging is a whole other experience.

You should try it.

I feel so lucky that I get to have an incredible yoga teacher who teaches all of these experiences.

🌿🧡🦋

Lucy's classes are an investment in yourself. Something I realized I needed to do and it's a practice that has changed the understanding of my experience in this lifetime.

It brings peace to my soul.

What an truly beautiful investment 🕊️💛🌸

EFT vs CBT - (Emotional Freedom Technique vs Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

EFT was found to be comparable to CBT and in some instances out-performed CBT.

When tested after some time, EFT effects had been maintained, whereas CBT had not.

EFT has been approved for funding by the NICE (National Institute for Health & Care Excellence) in the UK.

How long that will take to filter through to NHS services has not yet been advised.

Currently, within the NHS there is a 3-9 month wait for mental health services. The longer wait time is for trauma based help.

EFT treats everything from everyday stress, anxiety and depression to complex PTSD and other mental health disorders.

It's an amazing therapy and once shown how to do it, you have it to use whenever you need it ✨

Thank you Dr Peta Stapleton for sharing the research 🌸🌿

Head-to-head comparisons with a treatment that has strong empirical support is a way of investigating an emerging therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and its variations are considered the “gold standard” for treating many psychological conditions.

Did you know a total of 10 head-to-head studies have compared CBT to a tapping protocol (e.g. EFT), and in all 10, the acupoint tapping outcomes were approximately equivalent or compared favourably with CBT. In some of them the tapping outperformed CBT, especially in the follow-up periods (e.g. the changes after EFT were maintained and in CBT they were not).

Reminder...

Please do all of this as often as you need to.

Give yourself permission to re-set re-adjust and just re-anything you need to.

I'm going through a phase of this currently and the problems I'm having is because I am resisting it.

Everything is always such a damn street fight with myself, I'm too strong for my own good sometimes. I just need to 'go with the flow'.

I know exactly why I struggle with internal shifts, internal ebbs and flows. It's because I hold unnecessarily high standards for myself and I dislike change.

So instead of easing into a new unknown. I'm clinging onto that which doesn't serve me anymore.

So change equals fear and yet every change in my life has always led to something far far greater.

What beautifully wonderful strange creatures we are.

So in my struggle I choose to see the beauty of it, although it feels unsettling and uneasy.

I know I have the mental and therapeutic tools I need - **rahathayoga and .

As the famous quote says "this too shall pass".

Much love, Lou 🦋🌿🧡

🌿 Strokes • EFT and Gayatri Mantra has been proven to benefit a person's quality of life after a Stroke

Dr Peta Stapleton bringing the research 🦋🧡🌿

The quality of life in stroke patients is vital for survival. Nowadays, studies that show a decrease in quality of life in post-stroke patients are increasing. Various non-pharmacological modalities were explored in the past to improve rehabilitation. However, the study about the effects of religious mantra and its combination with the modern technique was lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the effects of Gayatri Mantra and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) on quality of life (QOL) of post-stroke patients.

A quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest with the control group design was conducted. Forty-six post-stroke subjects with reduced quality of life based on Stroke Specific Quality of Life were consecutively recruited and divided into controls and intervention groups. The intervention group received additional treatment with Gayatri Mantra and EFT. In contrast, the control group attends and adheres only to the standard hospital rehabilitation program.

All indicators and the overall score of QOL in the intervention group showed significant improvement after treatment (p
