Fear of Bridges Over Water
I contacted Kathy because I have a fear of driving over tall or long bridges that are over water. It is mainly the fear of the other cars doing something stupid in front of me and I drive over the side to my death.
So you can image, living in Florida that water and bridges are pretty frequent. I don't care if I am only 3 feet above the water. Then there are the alligators too that live in the water that you can see while driving over the bridges.
Kathy had provided me with the EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping instructions prior to our session. I had explained that the first time I remember any bridge occurrences happen one icy morning in 1982 when my car slide on black ice on the overpass I was on. I stopped with the car sliding towards the side of the guard railing. I did stop, so I never thought anything more about it.
During my session with Kathy we discovered that I felt stupid that I did not know about the ice or stupid that I would put myself at risk because I should have known and then it would have never happened.

ith out realizing it, I started being overly reactive when driving over bridges. And I did not really become aware of it until living in Florida and seeing the alligators from the bridges.I had always wanted to go to Key West, but had been stopped from driving the 7 mile bridge that is over water because of my fear. What I have now realized, with the EFT tapping results, is now I don't want to drive the 8 hours to just go to Key West period. I'll wait for a cruise!
I feel a sense of empowerment since doing that tapping session. I drive over a water bridge on my way to work everyday and do not have a sense of impending doom any more.
I would have told you, that if in a 20 minute session, my fear of 20 plus years could be gone, you must be joking.
I looking at maybe talking to her about my fear of being in a committed relationship is the next session. LoriLynn, Florida
EFT Food Craving Success Story
My gratitude
today (in multitudes!) goes to Kathy Atkinson. In response to my query about EFT
experiences, she graciously invited me to participate in a teleconference EFT
session dealing
with food additions.
My unhealthy passion, and my focus for the night, was chocolate. I loved it, ate
it every day, often stopped on my way home from work for 2-3 candy bars. I
couldn't NOT eat chocolate. But when
I ate to excess it hurt my stomach and I've gained 20 pounds over the last 2
years, from chocolate and assorted "sweets".
We did only a few rounds of EFT, guided by Kathy, and at the end I had no
interest in the piece of chocolate sitting in front of me. I smelled it, even
tasted a small piece and still, no desire for it. I've
been chocolate free for nearly a week now - a miracle. I've had opportunities
to eat it or buy it, but didn't want to. And I didn't need to talk myself out
of it; it wasn't an issue.
After the chocolate session, Kathy generously offered to do 2 rounds of EFT on
sugar, and that craving too, is gone. I've been able to start and stay with a
new eating plan this week that has been relatively easy, due to the absence of
past cravings. I'm on my way to finally losing that 20 lbs.
You're the best, Kathy!

Update
I'm just ending week three of my diet. The ending of week three has, in the past, been the time when I "fall off the wagon" because of craving chocolate or some other sugar food. So far, I don't have any cravings or feel in a state of deprivation, thanks to EFT. I've gained and lost these 20 lbs. more than once in my lifetime, but never without a mental struggle. It's been an easy two weeks.
Thanks, again. Sandy B.
