What does Trauma work have to do with Time Travel? Time travel has been a fascination of mine for my whole life. It's also a serious subject of debate and research among theoretical physicists. Quantum physics shows us that time is different than how we normally perceive it. A great deal of my professional life is spent helping my clients release past emotional traumas. I see people of all ages, and many have carried the heaviness, the emotions and the vivid imagery of early traumas for decades. An unresolved emotional trauma from childhood can be just as vivid, intense and real to an 80 year old, as it can be to a 30 year old. Time does NOT heal all wounds, contrary to popular belief. When we use EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques), in the most effective clinical way (not the superficial way that it is popularly portrayed online), for specific traumatic memories, it is common to see vivid imagery disappear forever, emotional intensity give way to contentment and peace, and physical symptoms of tension, stress and pain to completely disappear as the trauma is resolved. So my question is this: What is the difference between this and time travel? If you went back in time, and intervened to prevent that traumatic event that happened to you at the age of 12 or 8 or 5, so that it never happened, how would you be different today? How would your life have ended up? How different would you feel? How would your relationships be different? Fortunately, we don't have to wait for quantum physicists to invent a time travel machine to find out. When we work on a trauma memory with EFT, it often becomes quickly apparent that the impressions of that memory are very present in both the mind and the body. And by using the EFT technique effectively with a well trained guide, the memory can become so neutralized that it feels as if it never even happened. Does that mean you forget it? This is what most people ask. Some people are afraid of forgetting. The fact is, you do not forget. You simply take away all the vividness, all the sadness, the anger, the shame, the embarrassment, the fear, the anxiety, the tension.... often what was a clear photographic mental image, now shows up faded or even blank. So how is this any different than time travel? Changing the course of your life by changing the past? It's no different. It's the same thing. When you resolve enough early trauma memories, you regain yourself, your power, your confidence, your innocence, your joyfulness. This is why I love this work! Comments are closed.
