Ive known about EFT for a while, but havent delved into it. I might try it now, I also eat when I am bored and stressed. Jess, you have such a lovely, calming voice and way of speaking.

It's not productive (and can even be harmful, obviously) to deny that you /have/ the negative issue, but by saying, "You know, I may have this problem, but I love myself /unconditionally/," you're acknowledging that you're not perfect-- and that being imperfect does NOT mean you're unworthy of self-love and self-acceptance. It's not that you're saying, "I'm okay being a person with issues!" It's more that you're saying, "I've got some issues, but I can work with that because I love myself enough to make it work." You're not ignoring the imperfections; you're addressing them. Basically, it's just easier to move past your negative issues by accepting their presence than by denying them or shoving them away from your acknowledgement and subsequent focus. Or at least, that's how I see it, having never actually tried EFT for myself-- Jessica may very well have a different answer. =) @Jetta: It’s a means of confronting the behaviors and thought patterns you may have that you don’t like.

i’ve been looking into this a lot since i last commented and have a couple of questions…

so you think the eft was a success, i assume? i suppose i don’t understand it in the sense that you are announcing something negative (“even though…”), and although you back it up with something positive (“i love and forgive myself…”) how does that work? i have a really bad “habit” of getting jealous for no reason…and it’s very emotionally damaging because i get worked up for absolutely nothing. if i announce something like “even though i tend to be jealous and insecure, i choose to love and accept myself anyway…” aren’t i saying that i am OKAY with being jealous and insecure? /:

hope to hear from you and i’m curious to see a possible follow-up post/video?

keep it up, girl. xo

EFT for emotional overeating is something that I have been considering for a looong time, and seeing this video has really made me commit to trying it. Thank you so much for posting this, and for showing how profoundly it affected you. I also just wanted to tell you that I love everything else on here too. You are such an inspiration, and have given me the kick I so desperately needed to get back into my law of attraction and general positive-living groove :) Thank you so much, and much love to you, Amy.

Really want to give you a hug when you start crying at the end. Hope this works for you in confronting the things you want to move past; I might give it a try sometime... <333 You are so lovely.
