EFT Advanced Treatment Methods 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which technique involves having a client tap while physically moving through a feared scenario in graduated steps?
- In Vivo EFT Exposure (Correct answer)
- Matrix Reimprinting
- Surrogate Tapping
- The Choices Method
Correct answer: In Vivo EFT Exposure
In Vivo EFT Exposure combines systematic desensitization with tapping by gradually exposing the client to the feared stimulus while tapping to neutralize anxiety.
Question 2: In Matrix Reimprinting, what is the 'ECHO' and how is it used differently than standard EFT?
- An Energetic Consciousness Hologram that represents the past self, tapped on to rewrite traumatic memories (Correct answer)
- A recorded session used for client review
- An acronym for the basic tapping sequence steps
- A breathing pattern used before tapping begins
Correct answer: An Energetic Consciousness Hologram that represents the past self, tapped on to rewrite traumatic memories
ECHOs (Energetic Consciousness Holograms) are past-self aspects held in the morphic field; the client taps on the ECHO and reimprints a new positive memory.
Question 3: When using the 'Choices Method' developed by Dr. Patricia Carrington, what is added to the standard EFT protocol?
- An additional tapping point under the chin
- A positive alternative phrasing that replaces the 'even though' clause
- A choice-based affirmation inserted into the Reminder Phrase to install a desired state (Correct answer)
- A mandatory 9-Gamut procedure before each round
Correct answer: A choice-based affirmation inserted into the Reminder Phrase to install a desired state
The Choices Method inserts a positive 'I choose to...' statement into rounds of tapping to actively install a preferred emotional state alongside neutralizing the problem.
Question 4: What is the primary risk of using Surrogate Tapping when the surrogate is not properly trained?
- The surrogate may develop the client's symptoms or take on their emotional content (Correct answer)
- The client may feel tapping sensations in their own body
- The session becomes legally invalid without consent forms
- The tapping sequence must be reversed for surrogates
Correct answer: The surrogate may develop the client's symptoms or take on their emotional content
Untrained surrogates risk absorbing the client's emotional content without the skill to process and release it, potentially harming themselves.
Question 5: What role does the '9 Gamut Procedure' play specifically in treating persistent or deeply rooted issues?
- It replaces the Setup Statement for chronic conditions
- It integrates both brain hemispheres through bilateral stimulation combined with tapping, enhancing processing of stubborn issues (Correct answer)
- It doubles the number of tapping points used
- It is only used in group EFT sessions
Correct answer: It integrates both brain hemispheres through bilateral stimulation combined with tapping, enhancing processing of stubborn issues
The 9 Gamut Procedure uses eye movements, humming, and counting to engage both hemispheres and the cerebellum, deepening the processing of resistant issues.
Question 6: In advanced EFT, what does 'global tapping' refer to and when is it most appropriate?
- Tapping used internationally across cultural contexts
- Tapping on broad, nonspecific statements used to reduce overall stress before targeting specific issues (Correct answer)
- Applying tapping to every body system simultaneously
- A technique for treating global anxiety disorder exclusively
Correct answer: Tapping on broad, nonspecific statements used to reduce overall stress before targeting specific issues
Global tapping uses general statements to reduce overall emotional charge before the client is ready to target specific traumatic memories or beliefs.
Question 7: What is the purpose of the 'Movie Technique' (Tell the Story Technique) stopping rule?
- The practitioner stops the client when they begin to cry
- The client pauses narrating whenever their SUD rises, taps until it drops, then resumes the story (Correct answer)
- The session ends as soon as one memory is cleared
- The client stops the story at the most intense moment and never continues
Correct answer: The client pauses narrating whenever their SUD rises, taps until it drops, then resumes the story
The stopping rule prevents re-traumatization by ensuring each emotionally charged moment is fully neutralized before the client continues narrating.
