Case Study #1004  - Clinical Depression

Sheila was one of my first clients on whom I tested my newly acquired EFT techniques.  She was willing to try anything to get over her problems no matter how weird the therapy was.  At this stage I was mixing and matching NLP techniques alongside with the EFT tapping techniques.

 Sheila was diagnosed as clinically depressed and had been on medication on and off for the past 3 years before I saw her.  She displayed most of the symptoms of depression.  I used a number of NLP techniques during our sessions and also taught her EFT so she could use that for her anxiety and also to clear up negative emotions, which were plentiful. 

 We made an extensive list of all traumas, negative patterns and emotions so Sheila could work through them systematically.  The NLP techniques that I used with Sheila included re-imprinting, VAK disassociation, parts integrations, future pacing, goal setting etc.  All these techniques were used along side with the EFT tapping.  Slowly but surely Sheila started to come out of the depression and to reduce her medications until she was off them completely.  We did a dozen sessions together and Sheila did much more with the tapping exercises set up for her weekly.

 I saw Sheila 24 months after our sessions.  She has had her ups and downs but now I see a happy, motivated, peaceful and contributing member of society.  The changes are dramatic.  The person who earlier had such low self-esteem and worth,  is now this dynamic, bright , interesting  human being ready to take on life’s challenges.
