PTSD is the mind and body's way of coping with the trapped emotions of severe trauma. 

The National Center for PTSD reports:

  • About 30 percent of the men and women who have spent time in war zones experience PTSD.
  • An additional 20 to 25 percent have had partial PTSD at some point in their lives.
  • 35 percent of Iraq veterans sought psychological counseling within a year of coming home, per the Department of Defense.
  • An estimated 7.8 percent of Americans will experience PTSD at some time in their lives; women (10.4%) are twice as likely as men (5%) to develop PTSD. 
  • Families of war veterans with PTSD may suffer from "secondary PTSD", which is also called "compassion fatigue".

    EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques is simple self-applied acupressure (no needles) for the emotions, and is proven to relieve PTSD and its symptoms.


Do you suspect that you or someone you love might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)...
even years after the traumatic events

      What to Expect During a Session

      EFT is NOT Talk Therapy
      People with PTSD rarely want to discuss the traumatic event(s) that caused the disorder.  They are afraid re-live those terrible memories then suffer the after-effects.  This fear often causes them to avoid talk therapy or support groups.

      They and their loved ones suffer in silence.

      Using EFT with Colleen,  you don't have to go into detail about the traumatic events that haunt you, although you will have to provide some information about your fears associated with the event(s).

      PTSD Relief via EFT with Surrogate Kinesiology
      Colleen's unique PTSD blasting techniques first identify your conscious and sub-conscious fears via surrogate kinesiology (muscle strength testing). 

      Some folks with PTSD don't even know which traumas caused it.  All they know is that they feel horrible and it's not getting any better.

      Using simple hand signals that indicate yes / no answers, Colleen asks a series of questions to identify the energy blocks caused by fears due to the traumatic event(s).

      She then knocks those fears OUT by coaching you over the phone to apply EFT acupressure to face, hands and torso as you repeat or improvise on Colleen's EFT setup and reminder phrases.  Some clients don't want to repeat anything aloud, and that's okay, too.

      If you're new to energy work, EFT sounds sorta "out there"...but it DOES work.  Thousands of cases on the Global EFT site testify to EFT's amazing results, including PTSD relief.  This article explains how energy modalities work fast to relieve PTSD.

      Every living thing is made of energy, and when that energy gets blocked by multiple traumas and fears, physical and emotional conditions may occur.  Makes sense, doesn't it?

      Post-session EFT 
      If you are new to EFT, you will learn basic EFT over the phone with Colleen as you work together during the first session.  You can then apply it to yourself, anytime or anywhere you need it.  You can also contact her for another session, if needed.  Your choice.

      Here's what one client said about Colleen's work:

      "I want to thank you for your help in collapsing my issues around my mom's death, and the other two traumatic events as well.

      I feel energetically so much lighter.

      The surrogate muscle testing saves so much time. It's a highly efficient tool.

      I really enjoyed our session. I'm going to work on my homework, then schedule an appointment to check and see where I am. 

      I really connected with your stream of consciousness set up <EFT> statements and reminder phrases.  Absolutely brilliant.

      Thanks again!"

      Special message to all Veterans, Military Personnel and their Families from Colleen:


      EFT has been successfully used on Vietnam and Iraq War Vets in the USA and UK.  Several programs and studies are being conducted NOW to provide help for you and yours at LOW COST or NO COST. 

      www.StressProject.org
      www.SoulMedicineInstitute.org

      EFT methods are so simple that anyone can teach the techniques to themselves.  Another great feature is that you can use EFT on your loved ones or pets to relieve their stress, which is called surrogate EFT.

      EFT is NOT the only energy modality that can help you and your family, but it is the one that I know from years of experience to be effective and fast.

      In gratitude for your brave service,
      I am now offering several hour sessions a week to you and yours at low cost or in some cases, no cost.  First come, first served, as available.

      (NOTE: All long distance calls are at the clients' expense.  All new clients, regardless of ability to pay, must sign/date an EFT Client-Practitioner Agreement before the first session.)
