Asperger
en EFT, bron
(moet eerste een Yahoo account hebben)
Lyn has
already given us a pretty good overview of AS and it is
considered a highly functional form of autism in many quarters.
When I met with Sandi Radomski a few weeks ago I found out that
she
does a lot of work in this area, especially autism in children.
I have an interest in how it affects adults since as we learn more
about it, it explains a lot of relationship difficulities where
one
of the partners does not seem to be able to relate to the other
very
well, on an emotional level.
It may appear that people with AS seem to lack emotions, this is
not
the case. Instead it is more like a lack of sensitivity to their
emotions, many of which may be covered up as a defensive
mechanism.
Societies that model their children to not show their emotions
seem
to have a higher rate of the syndrome. For example the countries
in
northern Europe as opposed to the southern countries which are
generally very expressive in their emotions. In fact, people who
demonstrate AS symtoms are often admired as solid hard working
individuals who very seldom buck "the system", since
they do not
really understand it.
However I have witnessed that certain emotional aspects can be
addressed using EFT just as usual. The challenge is to help the
person identify with the emotion. It is almost like a certain
level
of emotional "numbness" is being experienced.
Particularly the more
subtle emotions.
For example a person is very reluctant to meet others in social
situations or even to answer the phone because they are aware that
some of their responses are not seen as being
"appropriate" in the
view or others. So one might have the person tap aspects of being
seen as not being accepted by others.
Sometimes however the person may be reluctant to even try that
because they would just rather avoid the whole idea of meeting
people
or answering phones. Therefore it takes a lot of patience and
understanding in order to help that person. On the other hand some
of
the underlying stress from not being understood leads to what
seems
to be an overly reactive behavior every now and then. This seems
almost at odds with the person's normally quiet, passive emotional
levels.
But to answer your question, how does the syndrome relate to our
meridian system? I believe the vibrational energies may be low in
the
frequencies relating to self confidence, self esteem, empathy and
emotions related to these. This is likely due to being often
"put
down" by others who see the behavior as oppositional when
they don't
understand the situation - which is essentially that their world
view
is quite a bit different.
Sandi believes that allergies and e-toxins are often a
contributing
factor that keeps these energies low. There are also some genetic
connections but I don't know how that would relate to the energy
system but would not be surprised if there is a connection.
Sandi Radomski is really the person who I plan to use as a
resource
in this regard.
