Gamut Treatment - Next is a sequence of
activities that are done while tapping at a spot on
the back of either hand. The spot is just below and
between the knuckle of the little finger and the
knuckle of the next finger. With the hand flat, tap
this spot continually while doing the following
activities (about 5 taps for each of the 9
activities). Each activity is designed to activate a
different area of your brain

Step 2. And then: Re-evaluate the level of your
discomfort. If it is still fairly high, repeat Step
3, either tapping on the side of the hand or, if you
needed it earlier in the sequence, rubbing the
tender spot described in Step 3. Repeat Step 2, Step
4 and repeat Step 2 again.
If your
anxiety level is much lower, but not completely
gone, tap the spot just below and between the
knuckle of the little finger and the knuckle of the
next finger on the back of your hand, hold your head
still, look down toward the floor and then,
gradually, to the count of 6 or 7, vertically raise
your eyes until looking at the ceiling. |
