PROBLEM RESOLUTION PROCEDURE SUMMARY

The Problem Resolution Procedure (PRP) is a sequence of energy healing maneuvers to optimize the likelihood of resolving the emotional attachment to an identified target related to a recent event. Components include identifying a recent target, addressing accessible resistance to resolving the problem that the client can become consciously aware through dialogue.

The client attunes to the problem (i.e. develops a thought field) and uses emotion to float back to an earlier even that may be holding the frame for vulnerability of the more recent target event. The earlier event becomes the new target event. An emotional disturbance level (scale 0 to 10) is assessed.

A short simple phrase is developed to support the client's maintaining a new thought field for the new target. Rather than muscle test for a psychological reversal, one is assumed to exist and is treated with tapping on a common treatment point (acupoint).

The clinician and client repeat the reminder phrase while the client taps, rubs or touches acupoints on all or nearly all of the major meridians*. Balancing procedures can be used if/when the resolution process slows down. Subjective disturbance levels are requested periodically.

When the disturbance is 0-1, an eye roll procedure is applied to anchor the process.

The client picks a new behavior in the future that will suggest success for the PRP. The degree to which the client is confident that the test behavior will be a success is assessed (0-10). The client focuses on the projected behavior and taps on a selected acupoint until the confidence level is increased, preferably to full confidence that the new behavior will be exhibited in the test condition.

The eye roll procedure is applied to anchor the future projection.

The next session, the clinician checks the level of emotional distress (SUD) and the degree of success that the client had in the selected test behavior.

*This treatment phase is derived from Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Techniques.

PRP Components

IDENTIFY TARGET Discuss the issue with the client.
ADDRESS RESISTANCE Ask the client if there is any reason to maintain the disturbance. If there is, address this issue first.
ATTUNE Client attunes to problem and assesses emotion and disturbance level (SUD).
FLOATBACK Separate the troubling emotions from the event and float it back in time.
DEVELOP REMINDER PHRASE Pick a phrase that will allow maintenance of the thought field.
CORRECT ASSUMED REVERSAL Tap, touch or rub one of several acupoints while repeating the affirmation.
TREAT (BALANCE) Tap acupoints in any order. Add balancing procedure as needed
BALANCING PROCEDURE Any number of procedures can be chosen, Callahan's Nine Gamut is popular
EVALUATE PROGRESS After a round or two, check for level of disturbance
CHECK FOR TARGET SHIFT If SUD is not decreasing, it may be due the thought field shifting from the target problem to a related problem
CORRECT MINI-REVERSAL If progress halts, treat the assumed psychological reversal
ANCHOR DISTURBANCE RESOLUTION Can use an elaborated eye roll
ENHANCE DESIRED OUTCOME Develop a near future desired outcome, enhance it in imagine, tap to gain increased confidence that it will happen as it is in the imagination.
ANCHOR DESIRED OUTCOME Can use an elaborated eye roll
FOLLOW-UP ON RESULTS At next session, check SUD and desired outcome
