Your EFT Discussion Forum Community | I can't get rid of the anxiety which came with the trauma :(

Hi,

I'm new to EFT and these forums It's been working wonders with me as well. But I've suffered from a number of traumatic shocks. With each one has come overwhelming anxiety.

I need help tuning in to the problem. I see the professionals just tap away and fix problems in seconds. I on the other hand have to go through an ordeal just to tune in and the problem doesn't go away. It's reduced conscious flashbacks so now i'm able to think again. But the anxiety… it hasn't dissappeared. I'm trying so very hard to find the cause. I'm tapping to hundreds of different things. I've got rid of a lot of the anxiety as well. But DEEP within. It's still there… does that mean I didn't tune in properly?

A few months ago I was so overwhelmed by fear and anxiety that my entire body was shattered and a few minutes later… the anxiety seemed to have dissappeared within my body. It was as if my brain said 'this is way too much to handle and i'll just hide it here' and since then… i've been shaking and shaking and I keep getting these ticks all over my body and I keep wanting to sleep. I tapped the anxiety away in the first place. I thought I did it properly but again DEEPLY within it's still there and it's having a detrimental impact on me.

My brain won't let the anxiety come out because i'll end up freezing. I can't remember exactly why I was anxious as well. I get little shocks where the anxiety comes out for like a 1-4 second period but I can't EFT away like that. Then I try to bring back that feeling but can't manage it successfully.

Please give me advice and tips. I just want it to be gone and not suppressed. I've tried writing about the issue as well, tapping at many different issues surrounding the possible cause of this issue. But I can't recall exactly what caused this immense fear which needed to be hidden. Also after this fear was suppressed. I had lots of dreams. In one of the dreams the FEAR came out I remember clear as day. But I EFT'ed the fear away in real life (or so I thought) and in the dream that FEAR wasn't as strong as it was the first time I experienced it. But it seemed as if I just coated it rather than eliminating it.

Thanks for reading. I'll greately appreciate your help.

EDIT: Turns out I was just using the wrong setup phrase. Trial and improvement lead me to the correct one and the fear unravelled itself and it's gone. ))) I didn't even need to go through an ordeal to get it out. It just came out all by itself.
