Case Study #1003 - Sexual Assault
Cherry (not her real name) was gang raped when she
was 15 years old. She was in the
wrong place at the wrong time. The
incident was terrifying, humiliating, and extremely traumatic.
It had started out as an innocent get together and ended in a sordid
incident during which Cherry was forced to perform unspeakable acts.
This happened 15 year ago and even though she had received therapy and
counseling, the event was as fresh in her mind as if it had occurred yesterday.
When she came in to see me she was an emotional mess.
She could not think or speak about the incident without being choked up
with a flood of tears.
I
got Cherry to rate the SUDS, which were at a 10 +++.
We did a few round of tapping to show her that the therapy was going to
be like.
Then I got her to make a movie of the event as she recalled it and I
tapped on her face and hands while she ran the movie in her head.
The only statement we used was “the gang rape”.
After about 5 rounds of tapping only on the face and hands, I did one
round of tapping using the gamut sequence.
That absolutely did wonders for her.
I asked her how she felt about the incident now and she gave me a
beautiful smile and said she couldn’t believe how free she felt of this
nightmare.
