Emotional Freedom participants appear before the House of
Representatives Committee on Veterans' Affairs second hearing on
alternatives for treating PTSD | ||

You can take all of the "randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled" studies into treating post traumatic stress and those results will never be more convincing to me of EFT's effectiveness than two letters presented this week at the second hearing on alternatives for treating PTSD at the U.S. House of Representatives, Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Accompanying Dawson Church at the Wednesday, September 15, 2010 hearing was Delores Hall. Delores appears in OPERATION: Emotional Freedom. She is the mother of Carlin Sloan, one of the volunteer veterans featured in the documentary. Delores traveled to Washington to give her own testimony and to carry a letter from her son to present to the Committee. Carlin came into the pilot project a self-admitted alcoholic. He drank all day, every day until he passed out. Nightmares and intrusive thoughts dominated his young life. When I interviewed him before the start of the therapy week he was hyper-vigilant, dysfunctional and far from believing anything could help him, but he was determined to try. "I don't want to be on medications," he proclaimed, "I want to be naturally healthy." If nothing else it was "a free trip out of Texas" Carlin sheepishly admitted to me at the time. What followed in just a few sessions with Carlin became the cornerstone for the week-long intensive with this 27 year-old ex-Marine and several more volunteer veterans. Not everything went perfectly for Carlin after his introduction to EFT, but he persisted and worked hard at clearing more of the blocks and negative emotions he still carried home with him. Simply put - he continued to tap. He went on to become a willing advocate and spokesperson for the use of energy therapy and tapping in discussion groups and veterans gatherings. He recruited and helped mentor two fellow Iraq war vets for the second intensive I filmed. Over the two years since his introduction to EFT, he's maintained a positive, productive attitude - he has a new career, a new relationship and a newborn child in his life. Being the model that he's become is helping other vets realize that there is an option to medications, or suffering in silence. Delores' pride and gratitude for "getting her son back" offers other parents and partners of veterans hope. Their participation in the hearing into alternatives for treating PTSD marks this son and mother's desire to give back. They are two more remarkable people from the work documented in OPERATION: Emotional Freedom. If you read no other material from me or about this project, I urge you to read the two letters I've attached herein - Carlin's and Delores' letters to the U.S. House of Representatives. They speak volumes more than any statistics or studies. Their statements are the true measure of the effectiveness of energy therapy. This type of change is possible and Carlin proves that it is real and lasting. For those who are following this project and/or have viewed this
