I have a bed wetter who I have tried to do eft with.I used it sucessfuly with his older brother on a unrelated problem but when I tried to use it with him he just shied away.Would surrogate tapping work better as he wont let me use the points?If I were to surogate tap please remind me how I would go thru the process.I read about it on the EFT site and newsletter but actually doing it is something I feel reluctant t try as I am unsure how to go about it properly.TY

Hi Treva,

When I do surrogate tapping for children, I am working with the mother (by phone). The mother and I get centered and then focus our intention on the child (this is as simple as taking a breath and having the intention of offering only the best for the child). We then tap together in the first person, speaking as if we were the child. You can do the same by yourself. You might consider tapping on your own reaction first to clear that connection first.


So examples for the set-up might be:

Even though I wet the bed and it feels good to wet the bed but my mom doesn't like it, I am still an awesome kid.

Even though I am not ready to stop wetting the bed, I am still an awesome kid.

Even though only babies wet the bed and I'm not a baby anymore but I still want to be a baby, I am still an awesome kid.

Some example phrases for tapping the points might be:

I wet the bed and no one can stop me.
It feels good to wet the bed.
I don't want to get up during the night.
My body isn't ready to stop wetting during the night.
Maybe it is.
My body is in perfect synch.
My body works perfectly
My body has a perfect elimination system

It's very interesting what information you can access doing this! Last week I was asked to surrogate tap on a baby. I was certain the direction the tapping was going to take but as soon as I got centered and started tapping, the direction went in an entirely different way ...

Hope this helps.

Remember to say the phrase out-loud, with animation, exaggerate, have fun and see what comes up.

Let us know how it goes if you wish!
