I need to share something miraculous. For those of you familiar with EFT and who have experienced the tranquility first hand as I have, I want to cry tears of joy. For those of you who haven't found it, or are one of the few it doesn't seem to help, I only have positive words of encouragement to try again.
I have ASD. I also have childhood CPTSD. My mind could not stop repeating all the awful, self depreciating talk or the vitriol, sarcasm, or cynicism that flowed within or from me when my ADD/anxiety ridden partner would trip my triggers. A week ago they moved out and began to act ice cold towards me, exactly as their mother acts towards her father, in times of stress. This so solidly punched my abandonment trigger into the far reaches of the galaxy I never thought I'd return form the ride.
I'm no longer not proud of the things I did after melting down. I made self care and healing my primary concern. I scheduled therapy for myself. I let myself call crisis lines when I knew I needed to hear a friendly voice. I managed to make it out for a hike with a group of people I didn't know. I rode my bike. I worked to pick up the mess left behind by my all to rapidly departing partner, and try to organize my life. And I found EFT.
Now, I don't want to give anyone false hope. I'm not saying that I'm a ball of joy. But I am able to function without the crushing anxiety and depression which I now realize was nothing more than an autonomic response by my brain to protect itself from further trauma. EFT interrupted whatever it had to for me to be able to pull myself out of my meltdown, and to finally actually forgive myself. My trauma wasn't my fault, nor were the reactions my childhood CPTSD mind demanded I engage in my fault. I have a neuropsychological injury. My brain is wired that way, for good, by the events I experienced. No amount of logic or pleading could interfere with my own persecution of myself or the resultant behaviors which I now understand are all absolutely wrong.
My experience with EFT so far has been incredible, and I can't help but want to share with anyone who would like the knowledge. I'm not entirely free of depression or anxiety, and suspect I never will be, but I can function without constant psychological pain. It's nice to believe everything will actually be OK.
Hope to see as many of you as possible find similar success for yourself as soon as possible!
