Which therapy?

[Logan R]

Hello therapists
I have a friend that I would like to treat to some good healing. She's been through alot, loads of emotional and physical stresses. I know she could use some form of therapy, be it massage, reflexology, steam, stones...But I don't know which I should be looking into! I used to work for Physical Therapists, so I understand massage and deep tissue massage, but other than that I know nothing! Could some of you please make some suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

[sm=nature-smiley-008.gif]Very difficult to advise when you don't know the person or their preferences. I am a reiki practioner, which covers the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs of people. This can be done either hands on, or off the body and can be sent distantly for extra healing between visits. That's just incase you don't know about reiki healing. I have found it very good for all sorts of problems, we may think the problem is due to a bad back when infact it is an emotional one and we are carrying the problems on our backs. Just a quick plug for reiki in general!

Agreed, it's difficult to say what would or wouldn't be right for someone we don't know and without knowing their preferences.

You say she's experiencing a lot of emotional stresses, so anything like Reiki, TFT, EFT, FREEWAY-CER, BSFF, massage, IHM, Hot Stone etc. would all be beneficial in relaxation with the TFT, EFT, FREEWAY-CER, BSFF specifically being good for quick relief from emotional issues.

I'm sure you could pretty much recommend any therapy going as they all have their own benefits.

Love and Reiki Hugs

Agreed.

I am hoping to gift her a certificate, so she can enjoy it at her leisure. Are there those of these therapies that don't really require an initial evaluation? I envision her going for the 'gift' visit, and then discovering and trying others therapies available.

Any decent therapist will require some time at the beginning of the first treatment to carry out some sort of consultation, mainly for legal reasons.

I understand that, I mean to avoid the one hour evaluation required for many in depth therapies.

Thought Field Therapy generally does not require an in depth evaluation before a treatment. The therapist will require the usual name and address stuff but will not require your friend to go through her life history as they just don't need to know it.

Thought Field Therapy uses tapping on accupressure points in order to unlock the 'sticking points' within the brain. We don't need negative emotion and we do not need to keep ahold of the negative experiences that have happened to us over the years. Sometimes the brain does and that is whee something like TFT is extremely useful as it just lets the brain let go. i really rate TFT as a therapy although it is not terrifically well know over here (I think it is bigger in the US) but the effects are amazing!

have a look at this website for a practitioner near you:
[link=http://www.thoughtfieldtherapy.com]www.thoughtfieldtherapy.com[/link]

this is the founder's website in the US. You may feel that TFT is a bit expensive next to other therapies but remember that this is a COMPLETE cure and that generally, for a complete cure, no more than 5 sessions are required. when you compare this to something like a psychiatrist or counsellor who will usually see you for at least 6 months, possibly on a weekly basis with no guarente of improvement I don't think it seems as bad!

Good luck!
