Emotional Freedom

Negative emotions are behind 85% of physical illnesses (Center for Disease Control).

Emotional Freedom Technique is the most effective method on the planet for resolving them.

That's my opinion, of course. I work with EFT to address and resolve symptoms and causes of issues that impinge on the experience of joy in daily life. EFT has been an incredibly useful tool for me to help clients find peace from a wide array of concerns. Some of their reports are just below.

EFT sessions are an ideal complement and follow-up to Soul Path Clearing. With EFT, we bring remaining emotional issues into focus in present time.

When negative emotions have been around for a while, a person might find it hard to locate health and happiness. Emotional well-being is essential to physical health. EFT offers fascinating possibilities of letting go of blocks, stress, and all sorts of undesirable stuff. EFT is truly a lovely gift.

I have been working with EFT in private practice for five years and teaching workshops for three. I have been able to resolve many troubling issues for clients when they had found no satisfaction with 'normal' therapies.

Enthusiasm from EFT Clients
Most clients don't write, but I love hearing from the ones that do. Here are a few comments I've received back:

Three Years Constant Pain
"Doing amazingly well today (Monday), working around the house, getting stuff done, walking without my cane and have not needed any Oxycontin since before meeting Friday."
Six days later
"Well, everything has been going great. I have very little pain. Even if I sit for a bit of time and get up, it is not painful but it has a bit of discomfort. Pain level about a 1. I use the EFT about twice a day. I do not have to use the cane or any medications, as I don't need them. Today I went shopping at Jerry's and I walked all over the place and did not use a cane or push a shopping cart for support. This is the first time in three years I have been pain free. I thank you so much."
Jim L. Oregon

Snake Phobia

"Just had to tell you that I finally came across one of those"critters". We were hiking in Westfir and one was lying right in the path. It was pretty lethargic in the sun, but one of the group got it to move and I actually STOOD there and WATCHED it go across the path and over the side!! I was as shocked as the rest of the group that I could do it!!

WOW!! It feels so good to be able to be out on the trails and not be frightened."
CS Oregon

Grief

A thousand blessings on you.

"I have tapped and cried until I got to a place where I could tap

and smile. I'll stop when I can tap and laugh.

Tonight: prostration, gratitude, vision for Christmas.

Like Jimmy Cagney said in that movie about the songwriter Cohan: my mother thanks you, my father thanks you, and my brother thanks you. And of course me. I'm eternally grateful."

Darlene R California

Cancer -- Low Energy

"Just wanted to let you know how much I got out of our session. I felt pretty punk when we started, but within a short time after I left, my stomach felt much better, I could feel my appetite coming back, and I had at least twice the energy I did when we started. I was even able to go out and do some yard work I'd been putting off till I felt better. I was hoping for some sort of long term results, but the immediate benefits were a welcome bonus. I'm anxious to try out the other procedures you gave me.

I discovered the cancer support group meeting is next week instead of this one, but I will certainly be talking you up to the group and to my doctors. I'd love to see more patients getting this kind of help."

2nd Email

"You did even better than I thought. When I went in for my chemo treatment they had to cancel because my white and red blood cell count was so low. The fact you could energize me under those conditions is nothing short of amazing."

Thanks again, Ray M Oregon

Increasing Joy
"What a joy it is working with you! It is exactly what we intended - increasing our use of tapping, solidly supporting our intentions for wholeness, joy, etc. Thank You"

Freeway Driving - Intense Panic

"Couldn't put it off any longer I guess so at 7 this morning I warmed up the old rig and skidded my way toward the dreaded freeway. Fog, ice yikes, maybe this isn't such a great idea, oh what the hell got to press on. Much to my delight it was a wonderfully uneventful ride. Here, there and all over the place, even followed the de-icer trucks for several miles. At any rate it's great to be able to get back on these roads, a big step in the right direction. I've also planned a trip to Portland over the break and I'm almost looking forward to tackling several of those big bridges. Thanks much for the help."

Alex G Oregon

Love Pain

"Thanks for what you did for me. Today, at the very least, I'm not a basket case. There is still intermittent pain and whatnot, but now I have tools."
Frank C California

Fear That Boss Is Angry at Her, and She Is Disliked

"I just wanted to write and say thank you and let you know how things have been going since our appointment. I was really interested in going through some experiences that we had worked with: the meeting up with my boss at work and picking tunes at a music session. So I finally caught up with my boss today. In the moment of our interaction, I still felt that rush of fear, though I was able to remain calm in my part of the conversation. But afterward, I was able to believe, at least to a degree, that she really wasn't angry with me, or thought I was doing bad, that, hey, I may be seen in a positive light, so to speak. This is much better than I was doing before. It felt kind of weird, but in a good way.

The music session went good. People actually liked the tunes I picked. I didn't feel nearly as threatened as I felt before I fell into my old fear pattern of thinking I would never get to play a tune or if I did I would be disliked. I pulled out of it and got through the rest of the evening.

Overall, I feel I can trust people a little more, that I am not disliked quite so much. If these changes could become really permanent that would be fabulous! We'll just have to see.

Thank you so much,"
Stephanie Oregon

Sleep Issues

"I want to thank you form the bottom of my solar plexus! This is one of the first nights in a long time that I have slept soundly for 6 hours... My mind immediately started to evaluate and digest my immediate recent events. Capturing these thoughts, and sharing them with you, is my way of settling down what is, letting go, and moving on! I am thanking you from the bottom of my 'solar plexus', for I still have some 'jumpy' feelings there. I have had such a disconnect from my head to my heart and gut... I've been tapping to 'allow the reconnection of the chakras' and quite honestly, I don't want these little jumpy feelings in my gut to dissipate - just yet- because it is one of the first times I truly do feel joyful and connected. I actually feel some (more) congruence in my body as a total entity than I've ever felt before."

2 weeks later

"I tapped on the red, hot pain of arthritis in the middle finger of my left hand. The test was how it would feel this morning. I'm glad I expressed the fear I had that it would swell and be stiff and sore in the morning - so you suggested we tap on that fear. I am ecstatic to tell you how very mobile and cool feeling this finger is this morning! There is still some swelling, a touch of stiffness and minor soreness, but nothing like what I've had for the last number of mornings. I just have a feeling that it may take a while for all the swelling to abate. I woke up once at about 1AM and noticed increased finger stiffness from when I'd gone to bed - so I immediately tapped on 'this stiffness'. One short round - then back to bed.

My sleep is improving immensely - last night I got 6 straight hours without a wake-up. What a blessing! I think with the sleep habits changing so positively that other positive changes are happening inside too. I still have just a few crappy nights, but they are getting less and less. Yeah!"
GS Oregon

Sleep Issues

"I can't thank you enough for your contribution to my path.

One simple yet profound tool you gave me has to do with sound. As I told you, I struggled with terribly difficult sleep and insomnia issues for about 25 years. I have added a lot to my list of "I've tried everything" over the years.

Extreme sensitivity to sound when trying to sleep, and mind-chatter were two facets of my nights. Every little tiniest sound would send my heart speeding back up, and I'd be alert and awake, and off my mind would go. It was exhausting.

Through your treatment you told me "You are an energy Being. Sound passes right through you." So many times now as I go to sleep (without earplugs!) I hear that phrase, I take a few gentle deep breaths, the mind chatter recedes, and I'm actually asleep! Inexpressibly wonderful!"
LM Oregon

Presence

"I am noticing a lot of differences in my ability to be present and connect with other people since our session- really a huge leap forward for me. For instance I feel like I can get nuances of things said to me by people I know where as before I would assume I knew a lot of what they were going to say (putting them in some sort of box based on what I expected from them because of the past) and not listen as closely as I can now. This is a form of living in the past as well as having a relationship with a projection instead of the actual person in that moment."
FS Oregon

Hip Replacement Surgery
"My recovery is amazing me. I was on the rebounder the day I came from the hosp. After years of daily a little less movement than the day before to daily seeing noticeable improvements across the board. I'm in the positive lane. Not much time for catching up on the classics, video or book.
Thrill of thrills! I got in the car just now to see how far I had to go in order to operate the clutch. I'm there! Drove up and down the street with no prob. I'm liberated! Look out world, here I come! That's less than three weeks after surgery. Amazing, indeed!"
Robert Washington

Panic attacks, seizures
Just wanted to share with you our first "would-be panic attack episode" that happened yesterday. You would have been so pleased if you could have seen S*** use your techniques. It was a stressful day, as I had both S*** and another guy (with both their pickup trucks) moving my remaining belongings out of my ex's house, by mutual request. The bugaboo was, my ex didn't want to turn over to me 4 large tree plants (which were mine before I even met him), and was being totally obnoxious. Scott was determined to take what was mine, so started carrying the plants away. My ex (F****) was shoving him, and it could have turned into a real fiasco. S*** did space out and get a little out of control at first, as he was down in the driveway yelling"call the police", "call the police". But he DIDN'T have a seizure ...he was just acting disoriented. Then an hour later when up on the road trying to load my plants into the truck and tie them down properly was when Scott got REALLY agitated, and BEFORE your session with him, he would have definitely had a seizure and would have been writhing in the street. This time he did the slow breathing and walked away down the road a bit, doing all your pressure point taps. He did this for about 3 minutes. (The neighbors must have gotten a real eyeful, wondering what strange ritual he was performing!). Anyway, bottom line is that he DID NOT HAVE A SEIZURE! And he definitely would have, before. You did it, Joe! It's too early to say that he's cured, as we don't have enough data points in yet ... but we're off to one hell of a start, I think! I am really, really thrilled, and want to thank you again for what you did. See, it wasn't an accident that I ran into you in the "dog field" ... you were sent to help us, I really believe you were. I will keep you informed of any and all progress we make, Joe. Thanks, again, for all of your healing skills.
Blessings!

Thrown from Horse

Email #1

Hi Joe, I came across your site while desperately looking for information that could help me in my situation. I had a horseback riding accident last August that injured me physically and mentally. I'm having a tough time getting past it. I've loved horses since I was young, and only over the past seven years or so have I been able to be involved with them. I'm frightened that this will take away everything I've worked so hard to achieve. I'm a good rider, I'm told...but just don't believe it in my own head. Could hypnotherapy or coaching help me get past this? I'm college educated, successful in my career...but riding success means more to me than almost anything. It's kind of silly, in the grand scheme of things, especially when considering what other people have to deal with in their lives...but do you think you could help me?

Thank you,

S.R. Oregon

Email #2 - After One Session

Just a quick update...wow, what a change!! First of all, I don't think I've ever been as wonderfully relaxed as I have been in the week since our session. I mean, relaxed and still conscious). Had my first riding session today...and it's honestly the first time I can remember riding fear-free!! I practiced the energy tapping a bit throughout the week, but honestly didn't feel a need for it when it came time to saddle up. Had a nice lesson in the arena, then my trainer hijacked a horse from another rider and said "follow me!" We rode out through fields and around a neighboring vineyard. I had two minor "twinges" (for lack of a better word), but breathed through them. And, even better, I felt okay riding through them and didn't once feel like getting off and walking. I've NEVER felt safe or okay on a trail ride, and I've been out with a lot of different folks and tried a lot of different horses. It's never been fun, and something has ALWAYS happened to rattle my confidence. I could NOT have done this two weeks ago. Today was awesome, and I can't wait to do it again! I just really don't have enough superlatives to describe how I feel about all of this. But you do have my heartfelt thanks. If I hit another rough spot, you'll be hearing from me. I'm never going to accept feeling like I was feeling again.
Thank you so much!!

Fibromyalgia Symptoms
It’s been a couple of weeks since our last session, and I wanted to let you know the difference you helped me make in my life. Negative feelings about my childhood, my fibromyalgia symptoms and even my weight have all changed for the better. The EFT techniques you showed me are so helpful! I’ve talked about them to many people who are delighted to be able to help themselves through painful or fearful situations. My partner, who lives in Kansas, has used the tapping, as he calls it, for diabetes. I just learned that instead of having to go on insulin injections, as he had expected, the Veterans Administration told him he was doing surprisingly well and to keep it up.
Thank you very sincerely,
M. M

Weight Management
When I first came to see Joe, I had already lost over 60 pounds but I was at a plateau that I just couldn't break. I had been hypnotized before and I really enjoyed the experience but I never really got any real results in the area of weight management. From the first session with Joe I knew this experience was going to be different. I've found over the years that whoever asks the best questions, gets the best answers. Joe Casey asks GREAT questions. He completely designed a program specifically for me. He helped me learn new tools for coping with old habits and thought patterns, and he exuded such a feeling of joy not only in the work he was doing with me, but also for life. Joe inspired me to depend on myself from deep within my core being to find my way though the sometimes dark tunnel that leads to full expression. Did I lose weight while under Joe's care? YES! But more than that, I continued to drop my excess weight weeks after working with him, and I can now say that I completely and deeply love and accept myself.

The following excerpt is from:
The Intriguing Procedure that has Health Practitioners Ecstatic: An Often "Instantaneous" Treatment for PTSD, Phobias, Pain and Hundreds of Ailments, by Lindsay Kenny, Director of the National Alliance for Emotional Health. Source: EFT Website: www.emofree.com

"...How Does it Work?

In order to understand how this surprisingly effective process works, it's important to look at the "Discovery Statement", which is the foundation for EFT...

'The cause of ALL negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.'

In other words, every negative emotion we experience, including depression, anger, frustration, stress, grief, guilt, anxiety, fear, etc. is a result of a blockage somewhere in the body's energy system. This life-force energy is carried by the body's meridian system through tiny pathways, much as arteries and vessels carry the body's blood. This principle, of course is second nature to acupuncturists. When that energy is blocked or disrupted by a traumatic or unpleasant event such as being dumped by our sweetheart, feeling pressured by a deadline, or being ridiculed by our boss, the resulting effect would be a negative emotion - like sadness, embarrassment, stress, humiliation or anger.

There is another step in the equation, however. If someone insults you, for example, the end result would most likely be anger. What actually happens first, however, is that the insult causes a disruption somewhere in your body's energy pathways. It's that disruption that causes the negative emotion of anger....not the insult itself.

The Real Culprit

In other words, there's an interim step we never recognized before that's the real villain in the equation. It's the disruption of our energy that causes the negative emotion. So rather than just the cause and affect of insult = anger, it's actually insult + energy disruption = anger. When we're injured we experience pain. And when our energy system is "injured" or blocked we experience a negative emotion. This was only discovered until about 25 years ago (although knowledge of the meridian system is 4000 years old). Assuming this formula is true (and experience suggests that it is), then the logical conclusion is: if we can dissipate the energy disruption, the resulting negative emotion will be eliminated as well. And that is exactly what happens when applying EFT."

Statements of Enthusiasm for EFT from Other Practitioners

"Without question, EFT has been the most valuable tool I have ever learned in clinical medicine. If I could only keep one tool that I learned it would have to be EFT."
Joseph Mercola DO

"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools, as it is for me."
Eric Robins, MD

"EFT is a simple, powerful process that can profoundly influence gene activity, health and behavior."
Bruce Lipton PhD

"EFT is at the forefront of the new healing movement."

Candace Pert PhD

"Meridian-based therapies such as EFT...can have effects out of all proportion to their cost and complexity."

Norm Shealy MD

"In addition to several emotional issues, I have used EFT for impressive relief for many physical problems including Hiatal Hernia, Candidiasis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. The process is gentle and often provides benefits where other methods fail."
Raul Vergini, MD Italy

"EFT has been, for me, the single most effective technique I've used in my 45 years of practice as a psychiatrist. I've had success with panic, social anxiety and many other disorders."
Curtis Steele, MD, Canada

"I have found EFT to be so useful that it has become the centerpiece of my practice. I have used it successfully on a long list of emotional issues. ...Interestingly, when the emotional issues subside, physical ailments often enjoy simultaneous relief."
Sonia Novinsky, Ph.D., Brazil

"In 1999 I incorporated EFT into my practice. Many people I see have physical symptoms arising from past or continuing stress. The chronic stress syndrome is often caused by emotions such as fear, anger and frustration, but can be caused by nutritional or physical stressors or trauma. This can lead to physical symptoms such as low thyroid, edema, fatigue, sleep disturbance, allergies and more.
EFT is now the major tool I have found to address this stress. EFT is based on rebalancing the meridian system that has been disturbed by chronic stressful emotions. The results I have seen using this tool has been amazing. Clients can learn to use EFT on their own or have a facilitator guide them. Over and over I have seen my clients release long held stressful emotions, beliefs, and patterns that no longer serve them. As a result they are happier and healthier people. I now incorporate EFT treatments with about 95% of my patients and can't imagine where my practice would be without it." Zoe Walton, Acupuncturist
