A facilitator guides a client through EFT tapping and hypnosis for shoulder pain after same-day surgery from a car accident. The client taps meridian points while repeating affirmations like "Even though my shoulder has hurt in the past, I deeply and profoundly love myself." By the end, the client reports the pain is gone.
Yeah, because your body's supposed to do that. If you out there, it's broken, it's supposed to be like, hey, don't do that no more. That's like that, like that's what pain is.
So yeah, I don't— I try not to overdo it.
So did you tear like a rotator cuff or like what's the story behind this arm?
Uh, well, I was hit by a car.
Okay.
And, um, I tore some—
So sorry, why your robe looks so fucking soft? Like, I want one. Like, go ahead. All right, but that robe— maybe it's the highness in me, I couldn't help but know I want that robe the next time I do shrooms because I'm gonna just sit fucking hours. But go ahead.
But, um, yes, I tore some, um, muscle tissue in it, and the surgery wasn't no major surgery. It's just like a, a plastic anchor that's like— I guess it's supposed to hold the ripped tissue in place. So that's about it. It was like same-day surgery. I was able to leave the same day. Only thing was, I, I went to work. I still tried to work that day, and I probably should have just not have done anything, but, but I, I did everything. I was fine. It was that I had a little sling on, but—
All right, so this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna get rid of the pain. Hey, we taking the pain to a zero. We're gonna get rid of it. But I'm telling your subconscious now, if you get out here acting like a superhero Bring it back, because sometimes, sometimes Black women be too strong for their own good. Like, good, but sometimes you need to sit the fuck down, okay? So I'm not going— I refuse to get rid of it indefinitely because I would not be doing you a favor.
Yeah, I mean, I don't—
And we— that's not what we want.
Like my sister would say, I'm the brain, she's the muscle. I don't have to get— I don't have to do too much.
So you use your brain, and when you need some shit off the top shelf, call her ass, put her to put her—
So I did that today. I needed my torch to light my, my Palo Santo, and I, I couldn't reach it, but she got it for me.
Okay, so earlier you said on a scale of 1 to 10, the pain was a 4. Is it still a 4?
Yeah, it's still about Like a 4, 4 or 5-ish.
4 or 5-ish. Okay, so I'm— we're about to do what's called EFT right now, and EFT is something you can do by yourself. I'm going to show you some different points you can tap on your body, and we're going to use EFT to get it moving downward. Then I'm going to use hypnosis to yank whatever left of it out of there. Might not even have to do no hypnosis. Let's see though. So the first thing I want you to do is put your hand like you're gonna karate chop some shit. And I want you to start tapping right here on the side with these 4 fingers. And I want you to say, even though my shoulder has hurt in the past, even though my shoulder has hurt in the past, I deeply and profoundly love myself.
I deeply and profoundly and profoundly love myself.
Crazy as this is, watch this shit. And I want you to say it again. Even though my shoulder has hurt in the past, Even though my shoulder has hurt in the past, I deeply and profoundly love myself.
I deeply and profoundly love myself.
Take them same 4 fingers and start beating right in the top, like the center of your head. Yep, right there. And I want you to say, shoulder pain.

Go right back to where we started. Take a deep breath in, and as you let it out, I want you to let all of that pain go. Just blow it out. Feel it leaving. On a scale of 1 to 10, where is it at now? Be honest with me. If it's still a 4, say it's still a 4.
I don't, I don't have it.
You don't have it? We ain't even got to do no hypnosis. Now look at you, you already trying to— you already out here trying to be a superhero. Now I told you, if you go out here trying to be Super Saiyan, it's gonna come back, and I meant it.
But, um, I don't, I don't overstress what I can do. I'm just, I'm just— I was given the name Danger Prone Daphne.
All right, well, stop.
And ask for it.
Yeah, give it back to whoever. Give it back today.
