This forum is moderated by an EFT practitioner and is a place to discuss how to apply EFT to improve our and our family's health.
I was at the museum the other day, by myself. I went to the cafe to read a book and have a coffee no kids. Without the kid distraction..I could focus on me more. What I realized was the sound of the door to the toilet(where Aidra's fingers were crushed) opening and closing was FREAKING ME OUT. I did some tapping at the cafe table..but I had to leave. I left it for a week. I kept avoiding tapping on it.
Yesterday I had the house to myself~so I told my story~just the beginning(in 3rd person)...
'Aidra screams 'mama mama' and Linda turns around and sees Aidra by the door to the toilet. Aidra has a panicked look on her face, Linda walks back to the toilet and realizes she needs to open the door to release Aidra's hand and fingers***...and then Linda sees that Aidra's fingers have been crushed and partially amputated....'
The part that I asterisked is the part that sent me to my knees BAWLING yesterday. I just kept telling that part of the story OVER AND OVER AND OVER(maybe a dozen times) The first 5 times, I would cry at the asterisked part.
While I did this I tapped and I was playing Benny Hill Theme music. My teacher told me to MOVE MY BODY with the music. So I did, and it made a difference, I finally started feeling the intensity come down and I stopped crying each time I got to that part.
The purpose of the upbeat happy music is to help you change the way your brain is processing the information. That is what EFT is all about anyway. Then moving your body with the music helps that process even more.
'So then Linda ran towards the kitchen to ask staff for a towel to wrap Aidra's hand .then Linda runs to the front desk...and asked the desk clerk very loudly to please find my husband***, because her daughters 'fingers were off'. Aidra was crying "I want to go HOME, I want to go HOME, mama."
This was the next part that made me bawl and brought me to my knees. Actually right now I feel tears and I have a little bit more work to do, but at least I know I can clear it a bit later today.
I tapped so much on this when the accident happened..when she was asleep in my arms in the emergency room. When she was in surgery and the days after. I know it helped both of us so much, but there was obviously more to do. I still have a bit more to do. I am grateful for this incident, though, as I certainly know now I can really help someone who has been through a trauma...I know what to do and how to guide them through it. Not only that, I know I have a tool that works if anything else traumatic happens in my life.

wow, linda, that's incredible. how long ago did that happen?
November 27th.
Her ring finger(the one that was amputated to the first knuckle) still has a scab on the end of it, but is getting there. She is healing so well.
Stacy...It is sad, and traumatic, but so much good has come out of it. My girls have bonded so closely with their accidents, and I have had to look deeply inside myself in so many ways, especially as a mother. The growth in our family has been INCREDIBLE and positive. So I do call Aidra's finger her 'lucky' finger..and I mean it wholeheartedly.
Thanks, mamas. I hope I am sharing stuff that can help someone out there.
Wow. And hugs. I find that things happening to my children are more painful/difficult/challenging than things that happen to me. (I guess I really need to get one of those family constellation books.)
