The effect of emotional freedom technique on fatigue among women with multiple sclerosis: A randomized controlled trial Ghaderi Z, Nazari F, Shaygannejad V - Iranian J Nursing Midwifery Res

Relief for Fatigue in MS patients using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, or Tapping)

Ghaderi, Nazari and Shaygannejad explored the effects of EFT on fatigue in women with multiple sclerosis. Fifty women with MS referred to the MS Clinic of Ayatollah Kashani Hospital in Isfahan, Iran were randomized into two groups: 25 women received two group sessions of EFT for four weeks, while the control group received two group sessions of tapping on sham (false) points for the same period. The women were assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale before, immediately after and 4 weeks after the intervention. There was a significant reduction in fatigue in the EFT group compared to the sham group. The researchers concluded: “It seems that EFT is effective in diminishing fatigue among patients with MS and is recommended as a convenient and safe non-medicament strategy for self-management of fatigue….”

Note that both the EFT and the sham/control groups were active tapping groups. Had the researchers used standard of care or a wait-list control, the difference between groups would likely have been larger and more significant. This study also provides evidence for the effectiveness of tapping acupoints as an active component, which has been challenged by some critics.https://tinyurl.com/7xv82ab2

DREAMWORK CLASS


Dr. Candida Maurer is offering a course in dreamwork!

Have you wondered what your dreams are really telling you?



Dreamwork is the process of carefully learning to unravel the hidden meanings in dreams by using both theoretical and practical methods to understand their deep language. Candida has studied dream interpretation extensively using approaches from Carl Jung and others to reveal the secret messages of dreams.

“Once the dream is revealed, a new path into understanding the Self emerges.”

Candida has studied her own and others’ dreams for over 40 years and finds that dreams are the most direct path into our unconscious mind.

“Dreams are always leading us to deeper aspects of the Self with the ongoing goal of providing us with information that allows the integration of both conscious and unconscious processes.”

In the class we will be working with our own and each other’s dreams. There is literally no clearer path for self-revelation, and there are only a few other paths that help others find themselves in this level of truth and depth.

Where: Heartland Yoga Studio, 221 E. College St., Suite 213, Iowa City

When: Thursdays, March 3rd – April 14th, 2-4pm (8 weeks)

Cost: $400 (+$50 for 16 hours of continuing education for psychotherapists)

Class size is limited to 10 participants

Eric Dirks, LMT | Eastwind Healing Center

I would like to give a shameless shout out to our newest bodyworker, Eric Dirks. Having spent far more than I care to share with a long personal history with pain (25 years of arthritis, Lyme, EBV, autoimmunity, and a fused lumbar spine), I have worked with over 50 bodyworkers in my life, whether traveling or locally, with all types of styles and training.

THIS WAS DIFFERENT!

Eric uses orthopedic massage techniques, meaning this guy is a seeming walking encyclopedia of ligaments and fascia, on top of the muscles and bones and tendons you expect him to know.

And it is gentle. Meaning if there is any mimimal discomfort (think much less than Shiatsu or therapeutic massage), it lasts for seconds to a minute. You don't hurt the next day. He says things like, "oh, I don't see a lot of lefties", which was not disclosed, and explains as he gets to each area of work why something has likely been causing problems and then proceeds to correct it.

He worked on a pain under a shoulder blade I have had recurring since a MVA at 34 years ago, that has been addressed by PT, dry needling, chiropractic, and of course massage, and literally, it was gone in under 2 minutes. And, again, explained as he assessed and corrected it. Unbelievable!

I could go on, but I can only make a request. Let's get this guy some clients! Starting a massage practice during COVID is a challenge, and we want to fill him up so he can be in his own full time room by fall. If you have chronic conditions, this very well may a wonderful addition to your treatment team!

Join us in a virtual high five for our very own Dr. Kerri Husman. She has been nominated to the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology board of directors. Her three year term will begin January 1st. As a DCEP (Diplomate in Comprehensive Energy Psychology), she uses these tools daily to help psychiatric patients and coaching clients as they work toward clearing unconscious limiting beliefs. It is a great tool that does not take you into the trauma, but clears the air for further growth to occur. She has found this to be an easy tool to use, even with teenagers, in the promotion of rapid and lasting change.

ACEP is a non-profit professional organization for licensed healthcare providers and allied health disciplines, which serves to organize and unify EP methods, provides professional support and education, and establishes ethical guidance in practice.

ACEP is recognized as the largest international organization that promotes research and application of EP approaches, offering an indispensable network of resources for the public and media, a staunch advocate for members responsibly learning and applying EP models, and an influential presence helping shape mental health and healthcare practices.

Eastwind Healing Center has two offices that will be available beginning on January 1, 2021 (earlier is a possibility, please ask for details).
At Eastwind, all of our practitioners are in charge of their own business. In other words, you will not be an employee but will be running your own private practice.
The first office is a SHARED office (sharing just Thursday mornings) and the second office is for rent for all days of the week.
If you or someone you know is a psychotherapist, licensed massage therapist, acupuncturist, or alternative medicine practitioner who is looking for space to call home, please email us at [email protected].

We are excited to announce that we have a new psychiatrist, Dr. Kerri Husman, joining Eastwind Healing Center. She is currently accepting new clients, and focuses in her practice on anxiety, trauma and pain. Please call us at 319-337-3313 or email us at [email protected] to make an appointment.
