Some of my collegues have been having a dialogue on Post Traumatic Stress and its Treatment. I thought there might be some folks here who would be interesting in this ongoing exchange. Some of the language is a bit technical given who these folks are but it is an interesting exchange never-the-less for some nesters.

Hello all:

I ask about PTSD because despite working with it for going on twenty years I find that few people have a very solid grasp of what the basic problem is, and that even those who have had success describing and resolving this difficult condition (Somatic Experiencing--questionably the most indepth and advanced modality-various Danish school energy field therapies, to a lesser extent, EMDR, tapping, traditional SMR NF work, medications, et al) are rarely in agreement as to what PTSD actualy is, what caused it and how it is resolved.

Most people who concentrate exclusively on trauma resolution now realize that the problem is first and foremost a physical, instinctual-level deregulation of the SNS, and that while there are emotional and cognitive components (often very robust), it's rarely productive to work "top down," and in fact, the big breakthroughs most often happend on the level of body sensations (sensations being the language of the brain stim). Once things are resolved on the biological and instinctual level, you can effectively move on up to the limbic and neocotex level (feelings and thoughs), but unless you do the instinctual level stuff first, the other interventions won't stick well, or at all.

In PTSD, the biology is basically stuck, wound too high from hyperactivation (sympathetic overload) and (according to Levine and the SE folks) a whole slew of defensive responses need to complete. The fact is, those responses will automatically complete if a holding environment can sgtabalize the biology for a time. I've recently been trying to have clients lay down flat on their backs, place the MagStim on the frontals and the blue green glases on the eyes (both at super low power-barely on) and run an emwave at the same time. The combo can really calm a person down. Then, when you titrate or toggle between activated parts of their body and calm spots, the twitching and sweating and somtimes flopping (especially with very early trauma) kicks in and the symptoms start to unwind.

The trick is to work very,very slowly, at at the lowest possible intensity.

Those are my observations, and I'd be interested in hearing others who have seen actual energetic shifts (heat, sweating, trembling, et al) during training.

Hi JL and All,

I have used the pRoshi (nuro biofeedback flashing glasses ) with folks with severe ptsd. with very good results. Im thinking back on several and still amazed at what was possible with the pRoshi. I used the pR1 for weekly sessions of "talk therapy" and as the client's anxiety decreases and rapport and trust increased they were able to finally do the work on the traumas that afflicted them. I have used the pRoshi2 now for a month and am impressed with what Im seeing. I suspect than now I'll be able to get to the ptsd a lot sooner and I think that will be very helpful for a variety of reasons.

After the anxiety lowers we did TFT or BSFF while they had the pRoshi on. Its a little tricky but they can tap with the glasses on. I really like using the BSFF protocol because it includes a forgiveness process that seems very helpful. After doing this on the major aspects of the trauma, clients usually have a noticeable improvement in symptoms.

Interestingly, symptoms don't resolve totally but clients report a substantial improvement. Then we work on the residuals and ...sometimes this includes what I call transpersonal gestalt. When people have been perpetrated upon or victimized there is a sabotaging energy that can attach to them from the perpetrator and this needs to be released. After this release there is a tremendous shift in improvement and the client notices more peace, more energy, lower stress, and all symptoms decline.I highly recommend reading: Healing Lost Souls (William Baldwin); Freeing the Captive (Louise Ireland-Frey); The Unquiet Dead (Edith Fiore)

I'd love to do a training of clinicians on this process which includes Energy Psychology, PRoshi and Regression work to complete the transpersonal
gestalt processes. I dont know if this would be something that mainstream therapists would consider but I have certainly found it to be very
effective. I'd like any input from group members on this idea..

Im going to include the BSFF process here. its the older version and Larry Nimms has a newer protocol that he teaches. He has a website and a
book that can be downloaded. BSFF is one of the Energy Psychology methods. I also use TFT or Thought Field Therapy which is also effective.
These are fairly simple techniques to use but it is helpful to have someone show you the points to tap. I'd be glad to talk to anyone about this
process on the phone over the weekend. (I have no vested interest in BSFF or the energy psychology methods other than that I am a trainer in the TFT
method, but have not done trainings recently) Ive posted this protocol previously but for those who may be new here it is again and this time Ive
added some info from my notes that some might find helpful as well:

Cheers, Marie


Be Set Free Fast (BSFF)Trauma Relief and Rapid DE-Stressing Method by Dr Larry Nimms.
Choose a positive word (or words) that you would like to recall whenever you are experiencing a negative emotion or stress. Words such as love,
peace, horse, tulip or anything else that you view as a positive in your life, will do. Be creative.

Roots means negative emotions. They are the depest cause of problems in the belief system, and are directing and controlling the problem.

States means all the many levels of who we are, such as States of Consciousness.

Each statement must be repeated until a muscle test confirms that the process is clear. If a statement will not clear after three repeats, re-test the set up and repeat if if necessary.

Set up - Find and rub “the sore spot” (go to the base of the neck in front, go down 3 inches and right or left 3 inches. Feel around until you
find a sensitive spot. Then repeat out loud/follow me and say): “I am saying this to my subconscious mind:. Whenever I a eliminating any
problem, I am also eliminating anything that would make me keep the problem, ever take it back, ever passively allow or permit it to come
back or ever be receptive to it coming back, even under duress. My subconscious mind will do this for r me. No further setup ever necessary – any further problems are already incorporated into the treatment process.” Muscle Test – “My subconscious will do this for me from now on”

1. Identify the problem/issue that you wish to resolve

2. As you think about (focus on) the problem, say
or think the statements and tap on the points as
outlined below. You will be releasing your
problem/issue in all of the layers and in all of the personality states.

3. EB(eyebrow): “I am gently & safely releasing
and eliminating all of the SADNESS in all of the
roots and the deepest cause of all of
this_(example: shooting of my son and loss of all
my friends due to misunderstandings and
litigation)____” (Muscle test: “SADNESS CLEAR.”)

4. UEunder eye) “I am gently & safely releasing
& eliminating all of the FEAR in all of the roots
& the deepest cause of all of this__(example:
shooting of my son and loss of all my friends due
to misunderstandings and litigation)_____” (Muscle test: “FEAR CLEAR.”)

4. TH(top of head at crown): “I am gently &
safely releasing eliminating all of the GUILT in
all of the roots and the deepest cause of all of
this__(example: shooting of my son and loss of
all my friends due to misunderstandings and
litigation)____” (Muscle test: “GUILT CLEAR.”)

5.AW (Across wrist, palm side-tap with flat
fingers):“I am gently & safely releasing and
eliminating all of the GRIEF in all of the roots
and the deepest cause of all of this__(example:
shooting of my son and loss of all my friends due
to misunderstandings and litigation)____” (Muscle test: “ GRIEF CLEAR.”)

6.EB (beginning of eyebrow):“I am gently & safely
releasing and eliminating all of the PHYSICAL
TRAUMA in all of the roots and the deepest cause
of all of this__(example: shooting of my son and
loss of all my friends due to misunderstandings
and litigation)____” (Muscle test: “ PHYSICAL
TRAUMA
CLEAR.”)

7.EB (beginning of eyebrow):“I am gently & safely
releasing and eliminating all of the EMOTIONAL
TRAUMA in all of the roots and the deepest cause
of all of this__(example: shooting of my son and
loss of all my friends due to misunderstandings
and litigation)____” (Muscle test: “ EMOTIONAL TRAUMA CLEAR.”)

8. WP (wrist point-depression at wrist directly
below ring finger): I am gently & safely
releasing and eliminating all of the PAIN in all
of the roots and the deepest cause of all of this
__(example: shooting of my son and loss of all my
friends due to misunderstandings and
litigation)____________: Muscle test: “PAIN CLEAR.:”

9. UE: “I am gently & safely releasing and
eliminating all of the SHAME in all of the roots
& the deepest cause of all of this____(example:
shooting of my son and loss of all my friends due
to misunderstandings and litigation)___” (Muscle test: “SHAME CLEAR.”)

10. LF/CF (little finger inside, base of nail or
for RAGE tap side of eye crow foot) “I am gently
& safely releasing and eliminating all of the
ANGER/RAGE in all of the roots and the deepest
cause of all of this __(example: shooting of my
son and loss of all my friends due to
misunderstandings and litigation)_________”

NOTE: without forgiveness, the anger work is not
really complete. Make sure all the anger is
released before attempting the forgiveness.
Forgiveness for self is always done last.

11. IF=(index finger, thumb side, base of nail
level) continuously, say (or think) three times,
“I FORGIVE you (Mom, Dad, Pete, Sally, ___) and
anyone and everyone associated with this
_(example: shooting of my son and loss of all my
friends due to misunderstandings and
litigation)_____problem. I know that you were
only doing the best that you knew how.” (OR “The
best that you could.”) (Muscle test: FORGIVE OTHERS clear.”)

12. IF (index finger): “I FORGIVE everyone who in
any way, at any time, has ever hurt or abused me.
My recovery is no longer dependent on anyone’s
apology or approval.” (Muscle test: “DEEP FORGIVENESS clear.”)

13. IF(index finger): “I FORGIVE you
God/Lord/Father, I know that you are/were always
doing the best/right thing for me.(Muscle test: FORGIVE GOD clear.”)

14. IF(index finger): “I FORGIVE myself - I know
that I am/was doing the best that I can/could.”
(Muscle test: “FORGIVE SELF clear.”)

15. Thymus: Tap clockwise with fingertips, in a 2
inch diameter circle, approximately 2 inches
below base of neck) “As I leave this room and
move throughout the worldk, I will continuye
processing –and it will be easy for me. It will
be gentle. I give myself permission to heal
myself in all places of my being.” (Muscle test: “FURTHER PROCESSING clear.”)

16. Muscle test the entire sequence to make sure
everything cleared. If not repeat. (Muscle test: ENTIRE SEQUENCE clear.)

17. From now on, whenever you experience a
negative emotion, simply recall the positive word
that you chose initially. Repeat the word or
words (silently or aloud) until the negative emotion is completely gone.

NOTE: This is the “older” version of BSFF. The Newer version is published in the book: Be Set
Free Fast which is downloadable from the Web. This newer version in the book does not
incorporate tapping but rather uses words to incite the subconscious to do the work. It’s a must read.

HOW I USE LARRY NIMS’ BSFF SET UP
(as interpreted by Pat Esborg, so this is not “gospel” but just a guide!)

NOTE: This only has to be done in the initial session.

Explain the concept of energy pathways (acupuncture, etc.) and emotional blockages.
Discuss briefly how the BSFF protocol can eliminate these “stuck places” and help the
client get free of whatever is holding him/her back from being where he/she wants to be.

Explain what emotional roots and deepest cause mean. (I say something like):

Emotional roots: “All the things that happened to you which helped
create and kept adding to this particular
problem. They often begin to pile up from the
time when you were very little. They get
expressed most often as aspects of sadness, fear and anger.”

Deepest cause: “The basic belief which is at the bottom of all this
stuff...your ‘take’ on life and your place in it
in relation to this problem (i.e. ‘I'll never be
free’ ‘The world's not a safe place’ ‘I'm damaged goods’).

Discuss Muscle Testing (MT). Say something like:
“Your muscles will test strong or weak and that
lets us know something about information which is
hidden from us.” Get permission to try MT with the client.

Demonstrate MT on paired statements/facial
expressions, etc. so the client can see how the
subconscious is her/his “faithful servant.”

Demonstrate the BSFF tapping sequence on
yourself. Mention to do it gently and with either hand.

EB: “I’M ELIMINATING ALL SADNESS IN ALL OF THE
ROOTS…AND THE DEEPEST CAUSE…OF ALL OF THIS PROBLEM”

E: “I’M ELIMINATING ALL FEAR IN ALL OF THE
ROOTS…AND THE DEEPEST CAUSE…OF ALL OF THIS PROBLEM”

LF: “I’M ELIMINATING ALL ANGER IN ALL OF THE
ROOTS…AND THE DEEPEST CAUSE…OF ALL OF THIS PROBLEM”

EB: “I’M ELIMINATING ALL EMOTIONAL TRAUMA IN ALL
OF THE ROOTS…AND THE DEEPEST CAUSE…OF ALL OF THIS PROBLEM”

MT: “I can use this simple procedure to eliminate every problem I choose to treat.’” (About 1/2
test negative. Correct reversal by having them rub K27 (corrects for 25-30 minutes; take them
through the BSFF steps now to correct permanently).

Read this statement to the client before the first BSFF procedure:

I AM SAYING THIS TO YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND AND YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND:

WHENEVER YOU ARE TREATING YOURSELF TO ELIMINATE
ANY PROBLEM, YOU ARE NOT ONLY ELIMINATING THE
EMOTIONAL ROOTS AND THE DEEPEST CAUSE (BELIEF
SYSTEM) FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT YOU ARE ALSO
ELIMINATING ANYTHING THAT WOULD EVER MAKE YOU
KEEP THE PROBLEM, EVER TAKE IT BACK, EVER PERMIT
OR PASSIVELY ALLOW IT TO COME BACK OR EVER BE
RECEPTIVE TO IT COMING BACK. YOU WILL INTEGRATE
ALL THE BENEFITS FROM THESE TREATMENTS INTO BOTH
YOUR INNER AND OUTER LIVES, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.”

M.T. “MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WILL DO THIS FOR ME EVERY TIME I TREAT A PROBLEM”

INITIAL SESSION
Unless the client has a pressing issue which
overrides this. If you don’t do it in the first
session, be sure and take the client through it in the next session.

Check Self-Image/Self-Confidence statements (by MT each one)

SELF-IMAGE (human being)
I like myself
I’m a good person
I have personal value and worth
I deserve good things in life
I deserve to be loved…by myself…by God…by everybody
I have a good mind
I have a good body

BSFF for all the “weak” ones. Re-check to make sure they’re all strong.
MT: “I’m strong in all of these areas now.” If not, pin down which ones need further BSFF sequences, treat each one and re-check.

SELF-CONFIDENCE (human doing)
I am good at things
I am a capable person
I can learn to do most anything and do it well
I have many talents and abilities
I have a skillful mind
I have a skillful body

BSFF for all the “weak” ones. Re-check to make sure they’re all strong. If not, pin down which
ones need further BSFF, treat each one and re-check.

Note: Re-check Self-Image and Self-Confidence in
the next session to make sure your corrections
are holding, especially those relating to self-image. Treat as needed.

Begin treating the presenting problem(s) with the BSFF sequences.

AT THE END OF THE SESSION:

TREAT: (anger at x, forgive x; then treat anger at y, forgive y, etc.)
ANGER/JUDGMENT/CRITICISM/VENGEANCE/PUNISHMENT…
At each person worked on in the session (if you
didn’t do it during the treatment) + check to see
if there’s anger at God, “Fate,” the world, life, etc.

Check for HURT or DEEP HURT and treat. This should also clear SADNESS and FEAR

FORGIVENESS:
“I forgive you (mom, dad, etc.); I know that you are/were doing the best that you can/could” x3

“I forgive you (God); I know that you are/were always here/there and doing the best and right thing for me” x3

“I forgive you (world, life, etc.); I know that you are/were just being the way that you were designed to be” x3

MT: “I completely and permanently forgive x for this problem”

FORGIVING SELF:
MT: “I’m mad at myself/judge & criticize myself/ashamed and
guilty about having these problems/not about to forgive myself for having these problems/…and for keeping them so long.”

Tap Index finger and say: “I forgive myself, I’m
doing (was doing) the best I can (could)” x3

MT: “I accept myself even though I have (have had) these problems.”

MT: “I completely and permanently forgive myself for this problem”
..and I won’t take back/give myself permission to be free permanently/give myself permission to be
completely free in every circumstance or situation I’m ever in”

MT: “I will skillfully, alertly and consistently
apply everything I’ve learned today.”

MUSCLE TESTING PROBLEMS

STRONG-STRONG: Polarity may be switched; doesn’t
want you in; Discuss “resisting and letting go”

MT: “THERE ARE EMOTIONAL ROOTS TO THIS PROBLEM” (explain)
“MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND KNOWS THIS INFORMATION”
If both yes: “I AM REALLY WILLING TO UNCOVER AND TREAT THIS ISSUE”

WEAK/WEAK or INCONSISTENT ANSWERS:
“I DON’T WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM” or
“I DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS RIGHT NOW”
Check also for exhaustion (treat by rubbing K 27)

BLOCKED:
“My subconscious mind knows the answer to this question”
“I don’t want to know the answer to this”
“There’s a part of me from the past that won’t let this problem go”
“There is at least one other reason why I’m not resolving this problem”
“I don’t want to test accurately on that issue”

IF STUMBLE OVER WORDS:
“I don’t want to remember these words”

OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS:
“I’m afraid one or more of the problems I’ve treated will come back”
“I don’t trust myself not to take it back”
“If I feel like a victim again, I might take it back anyway”
“The treatment I did worked, but I took the problem back again”

PHYSICAL:
“This problem has emotional roots”
If test negative,
There are other problems which affect my condition:
mental cause/physical cause/spiritual cause

COUPLES:
“There are problems in me which would be obstacles to having a healthy, fulfilling relationship with him/her.”

TO CORRECT:

Rub K27 10+ seconds….

Thymus tap

NAEM (Negative Affect Erasing Method) (Fred Gallo)
Tap third eye 1 min> UN (under the nose) x 5 > UL
(under the lower lip) x 5 > tap K27 x15

NLR: (at sore spot on left chest) “I deeply and profoundly accept myself with all my problems and limitations” 3 times

KARATE: (tapping the side of one hand into the palm of the other) “I deeply and profoundly
accept myself even though I have this problem”
three times

Tap crown chakra

Polarity switch…face ¼ turn in another direction

Walk in place, swinging arms

Cross crawl: Right hand to left knee (raising knee)/left to right while counting/humming 1-2 minutes.

MT myself for doubt, etc.

Have them hold rescue remedy (or bee pollen/spirulina) to see if that changes the test
(it should correct a “switched” test)
