by Cheryl D. Hiebert M. Div —- EFT has been used to treat the emotional trauma caused by a stroke. Traumas such as stroke cause disruptions in the body’s energy pathways (known as meridians) which can often restrict or stop the natural flow of energy within the body. EFT is a effective method to release stored traumas and emotions. Using the same energy pathways found in ancient Chinese medicine, EFT was created to be a quick, self-help tool that can be used by anyone.
Unresolved emotional trauma underlies most disease. By removing that layer, healing becomes possible.

Another key to unlock the wonders of our self-healing bodies.
How have you dealt with your emotional trauma after a stroke?
The emotional part is the hardest part for me. It even stops my recovery. Painful spasms in my leg prevent me from walking normally. When I feel safe, for instance if I’m walking outside holding the arm of my PT, my movement is much better. Even though it’s only psychological support I’m using. I KNOW that, but I don’t FEEL it. I used to be sexy and have an interesting (but stressful job), now I don’t look that wonderful and I work as a volunteer trying to get back to a normal job. A physiatrist once told me I was acting more disabled than I am. I’m really seeing my stroke as an opportunity for growth. To find out who I RALLY am, underneath those hair extensions, sexy dresses and high heeled shoes. I’ve discovered I lived from the outside in. I did a lot of things, so other people could find me interesting.
