BetterPain Management- A New Approach
Jan 10, 2009 (1:00 pm – 2:00 pm)
The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa
Pain Support Group
Chronic pain can be extremely stressful, both physically and emotionally. The pain itself can be caused or aggravated by unresolved emotions or stress that can produce an array of harmful chemicals in your body. Drugs do not address these negative emotions and can only reduce the symptoms of pain for a limited time. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) offers a drug-free approach to managing your pain better. With EFT you can release unresolved emotions and stress and relief your chronic pain. In this class you will explore how to use EFT for your pain management.
There is a free seminar for the Pain Support Group. Questions? Call Amy Stockman at 319-353-7125.

Please note: My PhD is in human biology where I specialized in cancer research, but I am not a medical doctor, licensed physical or mental health professional, or therapist. My spiritual path has led me to become a trained Life Coach, Advanced EFT Practitioner, and ordained minister interested in techniques that help my clients to live the life they love. If your condition requires the specialized attention of an MD or licensed psychologist, I recommend that you work with an appropriately trained therapist or doctor of your choice.
While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Please consult qualified health practitioners regarding any mental or physical health conditions you may have and your use of EFT.
