Every time I snap at my autistic daughter, there’s a clue.
Every time I put myself down, “I should have handled that better”, there’s a clue.
Every time I blame the world, “They shouldn’t be like that”, there’s a clue.
Our lives are full of clues, over and over again. The good news is that there are lots of solutions. My solution is to take these clues to the oh so simple but oh so profound EFT (Emotional FreedomTechnique) and find I feel better. After a while, day after day, week after week, clue after clue, whole issues simply dissolve and there’s a whole lot of space where stress used to use up every nook and cranny.
My heartfelt desire is to let parents of autistic children, or siblings, or anyone else in a position of care and responsibility, know about EFT www.emofree.com. Maybe I can support you, maybe someone else can. It really doesn’t matter. Support matters though. We run ourselves ragged with the weight of it all.
Today I was in training. Learning to take those same clues, everyday thoughts and images that inhabit our daily life, and take them to a different detective, if you like. Not tricky or underhand, just a different part of ourselves. The results were astounding though. I did it for my daughter too. I am blown away by the possibilities.
If I can learn to take my everyday experience and transform what gets me down into something that lifts me up, then I have really learned something.
I like being in training.
