The next process that follows is the tapping of a series of acupressure points while some affirmations are still voiced out. At the end of the therapy, the person's emotional intensity is properly re-scored.
Indeed, with EFT, one can bid goodbye to stress and frustration. When properly engaged, the technique deals with stress and also removes the self sabotaging tendencies that lead to stress and frustration.

Closet Eating: Exposing and Healing the Secret Shame Using Emotional Freedom Technique
Are you a woman who lives with a secret shame called Closet Eating?
A closet eater is a person with a complex about eating in full view and in front of others. For a closet eater, the idea of eating food in public creates an excessively uncomfortable feeling in their body generating fears and beliefs that people are always watching them and judging what they eat.
Closet Eating: What's It Look Like?
Here's an example of how closet eating might play out in your life:
You make no bones about the fact that you want to lose weight. Even though you're not officially dieting, you do your best to eat 'healthy' but you still crave all those goodies that you feel that you shouldn't be eating. You tell the family that you're staying away from fattening foods. While eating dinner with the family, you choose all the right things, take small bites and eat like a lady. Once the fam leaves the room, you cram a secret stash oreo or two in your mouth feeling that mixture of "I got away with it! bliss and shame.
Your Inner Critic At Work
Most people speak to themselves over 10,000 times a day and according to research done, studies show that the majority of what we tell ourselves is based on criticism and negative input.
If you are a woman who's unhappy with your body and frustrated with your weight, you most likely are beating up on yourself with critical self talk. Since you are already conditioned to think of yourself in negative terms, you tend to think or believe that others share your negative opinions and judgments.
If you struggle with feeling ashamed when you eat in public, you are most likely replaying memories in your mind of actual events that have occurred in which you felt uncomfortable eating around people.
For example, as a young teen, like me, you may have had a very critical Uncle Don, who felt that he was doing you a big favor by criticizing your body and commenting on what you ate.
As you sat down to Thanksgiving dinner, with a full plate, eagerly anticipating enjoying your food, your Uncle may have made comments about how fat you were and how the food you're about to eat will only make you fatter.
Anchoring: How We Form Associations
Since your brain is always searching to make new connections, you associate Uncle Don's scathing criticism with the awful feeling of shame that you now have in the pit of your stomach.
In NLP, we call this a kinesthetic anchor. Each time, you are reminded of feeling criticized or judged, your body, sends a signal to your brain flooding your body with stress chemicals designed to alert you to danger. Your body sends a signal that stirs your brain to remember this feeling of anxiety, whenever you are in situations involving social dining.
In specific, using my experience as a guideline, here's how it works: Your ears send a signal to your brain reminding you of all the nasty things that have been said. For example:, I can remember the exact tone and quality of Uncle Don's voice when he said, "You're going to get as fat as a house one day if you keep eating that food." You already look like a truck driver from behind."
The words you hear replayed in your head are just as powerful as when they were first spoken. When you think about nasty sarcastic remarks that have been told to you, your body feels the impact of those words each time you think about it.
Desperately wanting to get away from this threat and those hurtful memories, you seek to find a way to eat the food you want without being noticed. Maybe the first time you did this you were successful in stealing a cookie from the cookie jar without your parents' knowledge. By doing this or something like it, you created a new connection in your brain that eating in secret keeps you safe and in control. Yet because of the flood of stress chemicals that the negative memories create, and societal pressures to dine with others, you feel awful hiding and eating in secret.
Therefore, instead of eating Thanksgiving Dinner in front of everyone else seated at the table, including your Ugly Uncle Don, as many people would do, a closet eater will pick at their meal, often claim that they are not very hungry, and find a way to sneak the food away and eat it in a place where they can be all alone, feeling safe and protected from harm.
My Experience of Living with the Shame of Secret Eating
Until I finally stopped dieting, and learned to trust myself around food and began to honor my feelings as well as my body, and ignore the nasty ravings of people like my uncle Don, I'm sad to say that I wasted a lot of years feeling shameful about my curvy body and eating in secret too.
I used to be very strategic and clever in thinking up so many wonderful hiding places for food. I had stashes of cookies in my coat pockets, candy bars under the bed, wrapped snack cakes behind the toilet. I would eat in public bathrooms, closets, behind locked doors, in laundry rooms, anywhere that I could be assured of being alone.
For years I put on a show for everyone, including my Uncle Don trying to prove that I was doing my best to diet and lose weight. Yet, the moment that I was left alone, I would desperately reach for the food that gave my life comfort and joy. I felt caught in a cycle of self abuse for decades, silenced by the secret shame that I felt that I had no control around food.
Today I've found a solution that can help you to end your secret shame. I want to share what I've learned with you.
As a Professional Coach, I now understand that closet eating is an example of an eating disorder. Unlike the purging behavior associated with bulimia or the purposeful acts of starving connected with anorexia, closet eating is just as insidious in that it undermines the individual and reinforces negative messages to their brain, making them feel shameful and sinful.
Emotional Freedom Technique Offers a Solution
If you're suffering from this painful and shame filled behavior, there is hope for you. One of the things that I teach my clients to do is a simple stress relief process called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. EFT will break the connection that eating in public is shameful and threatening.
Based on the science of Acupuncture, EFT is often considered to be it's emotional equivalent without the pain of needles. Anyone can use it any time to balance their energy, feel better and overcome negative emotions and fears in minutes.
How EFT Can Help Create Feelings of Safety For You
The reason this re-balancing of energy is necessary is due to the fact that when we experience stress and pain, our bodies hold on to the memory of that event. To release the charge on those painful memories, you need to rebalance or neutralize the energy connected with it.
Consider that your body is like a smooth running current. When things are going well, the current is flowing gently and evenly. Yet when pain, upset or disease occurs, it's almost as though a monkey wrench has been tossed into the works.
This disruption short circuits the entire system, causing arcing and blow outs to occur everywhere. That's when everything goes wonky, your eating goes out of control, and you feel miserable. That explains why you're reaching for that food as soon as someone's back is turned. There are parts of you that are short circuiting. If you want a quick easy, painless way to smooth it all out again, EFT can surely help.
By using EFT to question your current beliefs about yourself, your relationship to food, your sense of self and your worth, you can begin to realize that many of the beliefs that keep you fearful of eating in public and feeling shameful are not based in logic.
I can tell you from personal experience that you don't have to live with the shame of feeling the need to eat in secret. I use EFT often and I encourage my clients to do the same. We all have negative experiences from our past. EFT can help you to eliminate the negative charge on those memories.

Weight Loss After Pregnancy - How Your Emotions Can Help You Lose the Baby Fat
Have your emotions ever gotten you into trouble? Have you ever done or said something you should not have and regretted later? In my life I have had my share of mistakes that were driven by my response to simply how I was feeling.

Becoming Ready For Weight Loss With Emotional Freedom Techniques
If you say you want to lose weight, you no doubt really mean it. But are you ready to make the necessary changes that result in weight loss? Probably not. It's one thing to want to wear a smaller size, to move more easily, or to just feel better. It's yet another thing to be willing to eat differently or eat less, to learn new ways of behaving, or to move one's body more. In my experience as a weight release coach, it is rare for a new client to be ready to do what it takes to release their excess weight. Are you ready to do what it takes to lose weight? And if you aren't, how do you get ready?
The Six Stages of Change
There are six stages of change, according to James Prochaska, Ph.D. and his colleagues. For over 25 years, they have studied how people intentionally change. Surprisingly, the action stage is the 4th stage, not the first.
Here is a short description of the six stages. At which stage are you?
1. Precontemplation- You show no desire for change. You may be resigned to being overweight. You feel you have no control or choice and have no hope. You may also deny you have an overeating and/or weight problem. You can stay in this stage for years.
2. Contemplation- You are ambivalent. You know you are overweight or that you overeat but have many excuses for not changing. You may gather lots of information and talk about changing your behaviors at this stage but you don't. You may stay in this stage for years, waiting for the magic moment.
3. Preparation- You are intending to take action to lose weight in the near future. You make a plan. Perhaps you pick a diet or hire me as your weight loss coach. You experiment with small changes.
4. Action- You take definite actions to change. You begin the diet or join a weight loss program. We start having our weekly sessions. You may begin to exercise. Some results are being achieved.
5. Maintenance- You maintain the new behaviors started in the action step. You continue to be committed to your new way of eating. Your weight stabilizes at a healthy weight or you are well on your way to it. This is a long-term stage and, like the action stage, requires continued commitment.
6. Termination- You may never reach this stage though it is the dream of all people who struggle with overeating or excess weight. The new behaviors are now automatic and effortless and you are free of your old overeating behaviors. The threat of relapse lessens. Vigilance can safely decrease. You exit the cycle of change.
Spiraling between Stages is Normal
Don't be discouraged if you find yourself in a stage before the action stage. Chances are good that you have been in the action stage before and have been successful with losing weight but you have gotten off track now. Cycling between the stages is normal. Prochaska and his colleagues note that only 20% of the population conquers long-standing problems on the first try. But their research shows that experience with change strengthens people. Most return not to the precontemplation stage but to the contemplation or preparation stage and they get ready to take action again. Is this where you are? Fortunately, the cycles spiral upwards, making each new attempt more likely to succeed.
How to Become Ready to Lose Weight with Emotional Freedom Techniques(TM) (EFT)
What if you are not in the action stage but feel stuck in contemplation or preparation? Perhaps you can't quite muster the motivation you used to have for tackling that diet or exercise program. You still have hope (so you're not in the precontemplation stage) but you can't get off the misery-go-round of dieting. You are in the contemplation or preparation stage again and you're discouraged. Most people expect to lose weight and keep it off the first time they try and are disheartened and self-condemning when they regain the pounds. We allow a learning curve for every other new behavior but not weight loss! According to Prochaska and his colleagues, this is unrealistic. But with EFT, you can become ready for action.
EFT is a form of energy energy therapy. Eliminating your negative thoughts and feelings (and many physical problems, as well) is achieved by balancing your energy system since these symptoms are a result of a disruption to it. With EFT, you use fingertip tapping on your acupressure points, achieving the same balance as acupuncture does with needles.
The Six Stages of Change
There are six stages of change, according to James Prochaska, Ph.D. and his colleagues. For over 25 years, they have studied how people intentionally change. Surprisingly, the action stage is the 4th stage, not the first.
Here is a short description of the six stages. At which stage are you?
1. Precontemplation- You show no desire for change. You may be resigned to being overweight. You feel you have no control or choice and have no hope. You may also deny you have an overeating and/or weight problem. You can stay in this stage for years.
2. Contemplation- You are ambivalent. You know you are overweight or that you overeat but have many excuses for not changing. You may gather lots of information and talk about changing your behaviors at this stage but you don't. You may stay in this stage for years, waiting for the magic moment.
3. Preparation- You are intending to take action to lose weight in the near future. You make a plan. Perhaps you pick a diet or hire me as your weight loss coach. You experiment with small changes.
4. Action- You take definite actions to change. You begin the diet or join a weight loss program. We start having our weekly sessions. You may begin to exercise. Some results are being achieved.
5. Maintenance- You maintain the new behaviors started in the action step. You continue to be committed to your new way of eating. Your weight stabilizes at a healthy weight or you are well on your way to it. This is a long-term stage and, like the action stage, requires continued commitment.
6. Termination- You may never reach this stage though it is the dream of all people who struggle with overeating or excess weight. The new behaviors are now automatic and effortless and you are free of your old overeating behaviors. The threat of relapse lessens. Vigilance can safely decrease. You exit the cycle of change.
Spiraling between Stages is Normal
Don't be discouraged if you find yourself in a stage before the action stage. Chances are good that you have been in the action stage before and have been successful with losing weight but you have gotten off track now. Cycling between the stages is normal. Prochaska and his colleagues note that only 20% of the population conquers long-standing problems on the first try. But their research shows that experience with change strengthens people. Most return not to the precontemplation stage but to the contemplation or preparation stage and they get ready to take action again. Is this where you are? Fortunately, the cycles spiral upwards, making each new attempt more likely to succeed.
