Adriana releases her Nausea from Chemo Treatment while Tappin
November 13th, 2009
Adriana was sitting on a chair in the waiting room while receiving her chemo treatment for cancer. She looked unhappy. I asked her if she felt bad – yep upset tummy from chemo.
I sat next to her and tapped with her. I tapped about the medications making her feel bad. I joked that her meds better behave better. She laughed at that.
We tapped:
Meds you better behave.
I am telling you to be good.
You’re supposed to help me, not make me feel bad.
Now behave.
Be good meds.
About half of her nausea dropped off as we tapped these phrases. We repeated these phrases and a few similar ones until her nausea dropped off to nothing.
She was surprised and so was her mom. Basically we had fun, joking about her medications and how they affect her, how they too need to behave like good kids. Something in that phraseology worked for Adriana.
I left her with this smile on her face. I looked back a few minutes later and she was happily reading a book with her mom.
