EFT Help with Prostate Pain and Urinary Problems

My husband and I recently visited some old friends of his (I had never met them). We spent the night at their country home. “George” (who is 57 years old) went to bed early because he was having pain from his prostate problem. I told him that I did a technique that might be able to help, though I wasn’t sure because I had never worked on anyone with that issue before. We worked together for about an hour.

I told "George" that in my experience, several things help with EFT working better :

• Rapport with the practitioner (we had established rapport during dinner)
• Willingness--he was incredibly willing for the pain to not be there
• Positive attitude
• Persistence
• Physical ways of changing energy: laughing, deeper breathing, crying, growling

PAIN:

I asked “George” where was the pain. He said that the tip of his penis hurt. Sometimes it gets up to an “8”. At times, the pain goes all the way to his prostate gland. Tonight, it was a “5”. He also said that his doctor had prescribed antibiotics and that he was trying to stay away from them as much as possible. He had been off antibiotics for a while.

Set-up phrases:

• Even though my penis sometimes hurts like hell, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
• Even though my penis has a burning sensation ...
• Even though my penis really hurts ...

I had him yell the different phrases. Also, I had him tap certain points for a prolonged time. I worked hard to get him to laugh, and eventually he did. His pain dropped to zero in one round.

URINARY PROBLEMS:
The next issue that we worked on was difficulty emptying his bladder. On average, he had to get up five times during the night. He would have to stand there for a long time before anything would come out. When it would, it would really hurt, and he would anticipate the pain.

Set-up phrases:

• Even though it has been hard for me to pee, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
• Even though sometimes it only comes out in a dribble ...
• Even though when the pee only dribbles out it makes me feel like an old man and I hate that ...
• Even though sometimes I pee like an old man ...

Reminder phrases: (I had him alternate)

• It only dribbles
• Pee comes out slowly

Set-up phrases:

• Even though in the last couple of years my pee has come out slowly, I deeply and completely love and accept myself and my penis
• Even though my pee might come out slowly, I deeply and completely love and accept myself and my penis
• I forgive myself and my penis for anything that I may have done

Reminder phrases: (I had him alternate and had him imagine the positive images)

• Even though it may come out in a dribble
• And then again it may come out like a race horse
• And sometimes just a dribble
• I relax and let it flow like Niagara Falls
• And sometimes it's slow and I relax
  
• And let it flow like a fire hydrant
• I just let it flow and go easy on myself
• If I feel angry because it isn't flowing, I just let the anger flow easily out of my penis
  

I told him when he got up to go to the bathroom to turn the faucet on (an auditory reminder) and tap, then consciously breathe and use one of the visualizations:

• Peeing like a race horse
• Let it flow like Niagara Falls
• Flow like a fire hydrant

The next morning he reported:

• He had gotten up fewer times
• It was easier to pee
• He wasn't feeling pain

ANTICIPATING PAIN AND TENSING MUSCLES

I noticed that before "George" would stand up that he would prepare for the pain by tensing up his facial muscles (and other muscles, too). I brought this up to him, and asked him to close his eyes and imagine himself being a vigorous 40 year old man, breathing and standing up easily. Then we tapped.

Set-up phrases:

• Even though I have been tensing my body before I stand up, and that anticipation of the pain has helped intensify the pain, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Even though by tensing my body before standing up has intensified the pain--I didn't know any better. I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Now, before I stand up, I breathe slowly, relax and imagine that I am 40 years old, and then stand up easily.

Reminder phrases:

• Releasing fear of penis pain
• It's easy to stand
• Go away penis pain
• It's easy to stand up
• Releasing penis pain
• Go away penis pain
• I am aware of my relaxed body
• It is easy for me to stand up

He was able to stand up without clenching his muscles in anticipation of the pain.

Important note: While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it.
