EPTworks™ is More by Sherry Hamilton

EPTworks more

More that just making a bad feeling go away. That point in time when you can't locate that pain you've carried and depended on for a point of reference is what I sought after.  For my own pain and now for others who I've helped walk through the EPTworks process for 20 years.  There is that definite point in the process when the pain ceases, and there is a relief. But what comes after the bad feeling or pain is gone?                 A new identity. One woman I worked on who had carried a constant headache for over 25 years, said, “I'll go home a new wife to my husband tonight.” She left in sort of a daze.  I was also amazed and intrigued that she never came to me again after that life-altering experience.  She paid her bill and left.  Emotions and the … [Read more...]

Transforming Worry, Anxiety and Stress into Peace and Calm

by Jenn Ocken Photography

The Serenity Prayer: Martin Rossman, M.D. Author of “The Worry Solution”, explains how to assess and direct your mental thoughts about worry so as to reduce unnecessary anxiety and stress.  He explains that imagination is a powerful, creative force.  Worry is that imaginative force gone awry or without properly guided direction.  Worry usually looks to the past or future to fuel it.  It can take over and direct our feelings cascading the body with chemical directives into fear, anxiety, and immobility.  When we understand how the brain learns and processes, then we can use that information to harness our own imaginative self and direct the feelings and the chemical responses that reduce anxiety and stress rather than encourage it.  This takes education of how the system … [Read more...]

How Long Does It Take? by Sherry Hamilton

From Jenn Ocken Photography

  This is a frequent and valid question I get from perspective clients for EPTworks.  I want to know too.  How long before I jump off this “gerbil wheel” that keeps me spinning in the repetitive, self-destructive habit I've lived with and been tired out by for years?  My short answer is, “It depends.”  EPTworks seeks to do two main things for this problem:  Break, disconnect or neutralize the charge of old false beliefs you have held that make you keep going back to “do it again.” Establish a new belief for a new experience with a positive, life-sustaining charge connected to eternal, spiritual truths. Most people get the feeling in the very first session of EPTworks that this therapy is powerful and meaningful to this process.  Is that the … [Read more...]

I Can’t Forgive

cantforgive

There are things that can happen that are really hard in life.  I'm talking about the over-the-top-traumas that are devastating to the individual and to humanity itself.  Things like witnessing a murder at age four and then being raped at the burial site or having a family member brutally murdered for no reason.  To talk about forgiveness in these traumas can seem heartless, and uncaring.  The pain is so excruciating, and the thought of forgiving the offender seems impossible.  You must remind yourself that forgiveness is not just about "freeing the offender".  Forgiveness is about "freeing the one who was offended". Richard Mollica is an expert in helping people devastated by war crimes to heal and move on with their lives.  In his book, Healing Invisible Wounds, he explains the … [Read more...]

The Place Where Bad Habit Goes FOREVER and Good Habit Stays FOREVER by Sherry Hamilton

by Jenn Ocken Photography

  This week I had the pleasure, yes pleasure, to sit through a six hour lecture presented by Bill M. Kelley, Ph.D., from Dartmouth College.  I'll spare you his titles, but the lecture was about the brain and habits.  How habits are formed, and why changing bad habits into good habits is hard for most people and near impossible for some people.  It really does require more than willpower, and knowing what is happening inside your gray matter can help ease the process. Dr. Kelley showed that the brain is really good at short-cutting information to speed up your process to get something done.  We were given the simple task to see a word and tell what color the word was printed in.  The first word was “red” and it was printed in red.  Oh, so easy!  All 300 of us … [Read more...]

Help! I Don’t Have Enough!!

EPT New Orleans Charity Dinner

Healing and abundance is a natural function that occurs when we are connected to our divine source, God.  All that is required is aligning ourselves with God and activating our intention. How do we get disconnected? When we allow our ego to determine our life path, we experience ourselves as disconnected.  Our egos have a tendency to idolize or place importance on things that are truly irrelevant to the truth of who we are.  By idolizing things, we misidentify ourselves and become separated from our divine, infinite, eternal source.  There are six primary ways our ego idolizes. What I have is the source of who I am/my power/my value.  My possessions define me. What I do is the source of who I am/my power/my value.  My achievements define me. What others think of … [Read more...]

What’s the difference between EPTworks™ and EFT?

I have been asked many times about the difference between EPTworks™ and EFT. EFT was developed by Gary Craig, ironically around the same time I began teaching and developing EPT in 1994.  Gary took what he learned from NeuroLinguistic Programming and Roger Callahan to create EFT.  I took what I learned from Scott Walker (founder of NeuroEmotional Technique) and an assortment of books and teachers to create EPTworks™.  While I was raising 5 kids and building my practice; I kind of dabbled in my seminar business, teaching a little more each year.  Gary is older than me and had the luxury of time and money to expand his teaching through some wonderful marketing.  He is a very talented and generous man.  Through his marketing genius, EFT has become the most well-known energy … [Read more...]
