Easing Fathers Stress at Birth
What is the most important aspect when using the Emotional Freedom Techniques in a stressful situation? After working with a father-to-be I'll call "Alfie", I learned about his approach during that last week before the baby was born. It was fascinating, to say the least. He felt that his wife, "Mary" was being unreasonable in her requests at that stressful time (her requests sounded like demands to his ears). You may be surprised at his answer, which I found to be delightfully creative.
Alfie and I had done an EFT session for an hour a few months before. Then, during the final week before the baby came out of the womb and into the room, he began experiencing a lot of stress. Alfie had been finishing up last-minute projects around the house and felt stretched to the max. His wife was tired of having the baby inside of her. She was ready to have it on the outside--NOW. So, according to Alfie, she was not acting reasonable. (That is the way of it. Women are not reasonable at this particular time - Bless their hearts!) When Alfie felt that she was being unreasonable, he would simply leave the room and start tapping (instead of getting into a squabble with her and making her wrong).
The only point he could remember to tap was the top of his head, so that's what he did. He told me that he was pounding the top of his head like a drum, while he loudly complained about his wife's behavior. Since he made sure that he got out of her space, he was able to get loud, as he bitched and moaned and tapped the top of his head until it tingled.
The result? He was able to stay relatively calm, considering that his wife was having all her emotions and feelings while having their first baby at home. Fortunately she had used EFT to clear away all of her fears about birth, and after labor started, it only lasted six hours.
So, when I asked Alfie how did the birth go, he said "Fantastic - Perfect - A miracle!" and that he felt that it was his intent that made the difference for him. Even though he was too excited to remember any other tapping points besides the top of his head, EFT still ended up working like a charm. Just like the wonderful movie The Secret talks about at length, it's our intent that drives the experiences we create.
