My Journey – by Paul 

 

I approached Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Matrix Reimprinting with a mixture of curiosity and scepticism. After being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, I was fortunate to find myself doing well two years after treatment. During this period, I volunteered to assist John, who was undergoing training in these therapeutic techniques, by serving as his test subject.

 

Instead of targeting my cancer, I asked John to focus on my asthma—a condition I was well acquainted with after forty years of regular swimming, running, and cycling. During flare-ups, I typically rated its impact at 6 out of 10, making it a practical area for potential improvement.

 

Session One: Addressing the Past

In our first session, we explored a significant emotional trauma stemming from my divorce eighteen years earlier. Through the therapeutic process, I achieved a sense of closure with that difficult period, reassuring my former self that things would eventually resolve. The session was unexpectedly emotional and revealed the lingering effects of past distress. Afterwards, I felt a surprising weight had lifted from my shoulders, which resulted in fatigue, yet a deep sense of relief.

 

Tangible Results

Following this initial session, I noticed a marked improvement in my asthma, rating it at 3 out of 10 when symptoms appeared. Around three months later, at John’s suggestion, we set out to build further on this progress.

 

Session Two: Revisiting Childhood Memories

During the second session, we revisited vivid memories from my early childhood, particularly feelings of abandonment in my playpen. These recollections were surprisingly clear, and while the experience was emotionally charged, I found I did not need to reassure my younger self—the continuity of my personal identity now felt self-evident.

 

Tangible Results

The positive results continued: my asthma dropped to 1 out of 10, and at times became barely noticeable. To my further satisfaction, my prostate cancer PSA levels have consistently remained at zero. Around four months later, at John’s suggestion, we set out to build on and consolidate our positive results.

 

Session Three: Revisiting Childhood Memories Again

The third session again focused on the vivid memories from my early childhood and those feelings of abandonment in my playpen. This time, although the recollections were clear, they no longer carried any emotional charge. John guided me through a series of affirmations centred on acceptance, compassion, and self-worth.

 

Results

After this session, John and I agreed that some of this early trauma had remained unresolved. Any tangible results are yet to be observed, as this session took place only two days ago.

 

My journey with EFT and Matrix Reimprinting has prompted me to genuinely believe that profound emotional healing can influence physical health. Based on my personal experience, I would recommend these techniques to anyone seeking alternative approaches for emotional, and even physical, well-being.
