No improvement after a month of tapping

[Dee O'Mara]

I was told about EFT about 4 weeks ago, read the manual and have been tapping daily ever since.
Although I think there could be something in EFT, I have had no sustained improvement in my arm pain.
No change in my tinnitus at all during or after tapping.
And I cannot say that my PTSD re bushfires has improved, as I seem to be just as upset the next time I return to tap on it.
I have tapped on dozens of related events / memories close to the start of the problem to try and clear the "trees from the forest" but nothing changes.
I plan on keeping on going for a few more months as it really would be nice to not have tinnitus any more, and it would be nice to approach next summer without constant fear and dread.
I am glad to hear so many people are being helped. If anyone can suggest what is going wrong, i'd be glad to hear from you.
Kind regards
Dee

Hi Lillian,
Thank you for your ongoing comments.
No improvement in tinnitus, still working on it.
Re bush fire issues, I have made a big move, well I think it is to do with EFT.
The first glimmer that something had changed was when i was thinking about cutting down a tree 40metres from the house and it was like another voice in my head suddenly said, well that's a bit extreme isn't it, it's far enough away. I was very surprised because I keep cutting down trees every spring and hardly have any garden left.
Next
I have got passed my usual reaction to fear and I am taking action and went and ordered a shipping container with a fire door, big enough for horses, dog and cats and us, to get buried in the ground for a fire bunker.
So, yes i think that can be counted as an improvement. I don't think I need to have a conventional, wow the fear is gone result, well not yet anyway.
I don't have to be brave and pretend and keep my fear locked inside.
I have been afraid in the summers for 30 years since my first fire experience and each year it gets worse for me, but here in Australia with 7 years drought now, and rising temperatures, fire is a very real greater risk. I have been thinking for years that I need a fire bunker but have never acted on this, now I have and hope that will help.
I will have to work more hours to pay for the bunker but that's alright.
So what do u think about that, I am not doing anything new other than the EFT, there seem to be lots of cases where a great deal of time is needed for long held problems to resolve as well as the miracles.
I have not been able to forget about fires all winter this year which is an unfortunate first but maybe if I keep up with EFT until summer starts I will get through it better this year.
I would be interested in what types of issues you worked on ,when you first started EFT and how long they took to resolve, only if you would like to share of course.
Kind regards
Dee

Dear Lillian,
Thank you for your encouragment and i will keep tapping for some months more. I know what you mean about the misguided protection mechanisms they are certainly hard to shift.
When tapping this morning I had a huge emotional eruption and I don't even know what about, but it was stronger every time I got to humming the happy birthday lines, so who knows what that was about, another tree bites the dust I suppose.
I saw Rod Sherwin's video the other day and was surprised to see him tap places not in the manual, double sided at once and the wrists instead of fingers and hand points. Do other people use these variations?
I was interested to see you do QiGong as well, I love it, so centering, so balancing, yet knowing this I only do it sporadically, I will get going with it more regularly again.
Isn't the world a wonderful place, someone in a huge city overseas cares to encourage a lady on a small farm outside a little town of only 3000 in Victoria.
Bless you Lillian
