Fear of the Dark Healed

with the EFT Therapy

A trauma that my inner child healed with the EFT Therapy was my fear of the dark.

I can remember as an adult, always being afraid of the dark when alone. In the periods of my life where I had to sleep alone, I was always compelled to have the light on at night.

While I was studying the EFT Therapy, I received a new and precious newsletter from Gary Craig, EFT Founder. There was an article about an EFT therapist that helped a child who usually felt much sadness in the evening. She was also intuitive enough to understand that there was a connection between the fear of the dark and the sadness of the child. Wow! This was also the same for me too, as I would always become more sad as night arrived.

For many years I could not find a solution to this issue. This fear was stronger than any will to switch off the light. I thought that the uncontrollable fear of the dark was because of the fact that my mother closed me in a totally dark larder when I was little. I remember that I was scared and I wanted to get out, shouting hysterically. I do not even remember what “terrible thing” I could possibly have done for this punishment. I was always the shy and kind girl, saying “yes” to everything. There was not any other way of being in my family:-)

The story of the boy gave me the connection I needed with my own issue. So I began to tap EFT:

“Even though I am so afraid of the dark….”

“Even though I feel as someone would attack me…”

“Even though my mother closed me in the dark larder…”

“Even though I was so scared and I wanted to get out….”

“Even though she didn’t listen to my panic…”

“Even though I am sad when the night arrives…”

etc...

The result was that this a phobia of the dark, that I have had since I was a little girl, went away just in several rounds of EFT Therapy tapping. Incredible, but this is the wonderful truth...

After healing myself from my fear of the dark, I am now able to sleep alone in the dark. I also walks outside in the night with my cocker spaniel Mio, feeling the sunshine inside. Before this healing, I was afraid to be out at night too, feeling much danger. Now I even forget that it is night! I look at the moon and stars and I enjoy these miracles of our Universe! The dark doesn’t affect me anymore. Before I was paralyzed from it.

At that time I had not yet discovered and bought Tappy Bear, otherwise I would have tapped with Tappy Bear, asking him to support me with his loveful, blue eyes. Tappy knows how to make direct contact with my inner child, making me enjoy the EFT tapping. As I tap on Tappy Bear, it is as if I am tapping on my own EFT tapping points. It works in the same way.
