Proxy EFT is doing Emotional freedom techniques on behalf of other people, animals or things..  My kitty had an accident as a consequence of which he damaged his front leg and paw.  After taking him to the vet, I did proxy EFT on his behalf in the house, with extraordinary results..  The bone he had hurt looked to the vet as if it was broken and not broken, both simultaneously!  

While doing the surrogate Emotional freedom techniques tapping on behalf of my pet, my arm and hand felt like his.  Because of this I understood when the session was done because I could feel the energy flowing properly to my own hand.  

You may possibly wonder if perhaps this all seems a bit unlikely, however the vet was flummoxed by swiftly the swelling went down and how quickly Giles recovered.

If it works for a cat, in another location, in that case it'll basically work on anything.  In fact, the Emofree internet site is full of stories of individuals surrogate tapping their vehicles, pcs and a variety of other objects with surprisingly successful results!

Why Tap Surrogately?

As described above, substitute EFT is suitable for creatures and things - results are often agreeably surprising!

Surrogate EFT can also be helpful for people.  A session for a lad with adhd turned out to be very enlightening.  Suggesting that the carer tap on herself as a surrogate for her son almost immediately had the boy's interest..  The boy, who had been moving continuously, lay down behind her while this was going on and was clearly engaged in the process.  

On an every day level, you can find occasions when surrogate tapping is likely to be suitable. The founder of EFT, Gary Craig, often does Emotional freedom techniques tapping for others on airplanes on behalf of those with fear of flying as well as on behalf of unhappy infants or their mothers..  This kind of thing is a gift given in a detached type of way with no judgement.  

Is it right to substitute tap for people close to you?  Especially if you are having an argument or disagreeing about something.  

I think the situation is significant to proxy tapping.  for example, every so often the behaviour of my teenage children is just not what I'd regard as ideal.  At times I think about doing Emotional freedom techniques on behalf of them in order that they might be happier.  However, perhaps the object of that specific exercise would be to make me happier!  Accordingly, doing Emotional freedom techniques for myself is really a positive option.

Taking a tool from NLP is usually a gift with this type of situation.  Role playing both from the viewpoint of another individual involved and from that of an outside spectator could be a very positive step to take.  While taking this approach, it may be that experiences from our own teenage days rise to the surface for transformation.  

Even though my mother just doesn't understand how important this party is
Even though my mother's fashion sense is 90 years out of date
Even though I have a curfew and no one else does ...   
Even though they will not let me grow up  

Viewing ourselves from the outside could be a real gift.  Once we truly comprehend that our own experience is not the same as the person on the other end of the relationship, there is a real opportunity to grow.

The third person in the three individual strategy is the point of view of an outside observer.  What impression would someone unconnected with things have?

Even though she is going to have to let go eventually   
Even though she's a teenager and it's normal to want to step out past the boundaries   
Even though neither of them are listening - they both want to be heard  

When we take this three person approach, very often the energy of the situation shifts and everybody is able to  move forward.
