Don
“Don” is 61 and has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. We worked together for a total of six session
hours.
In our first session he said his thoughts were like bumper cars, bouncing all over, but the tapping helped him
relax and release the tension in his mind. It also stopped the tremors and shaking that are a symptom of
Parkinson’s disease.
In our second session he worked through the traumatic memory of having shot someone’s arm off two weeks
before he returned home from Vietnam.
The third session dealt with a very traumatic event – his best friend, who was walking in Don’s place, had been
shot and Don couldn’t rescue him.
Next, Don had a dream relating to the death of his father, who killed himself while driving drunk, so we worked
through his childhood trauma.
In our fifth tapping session, Don talked a lot about the improvements in his sleep and overall well-being, then we
tapped for the stress and feelings of lack of control resulting from the construction of his new home and people
not doing what they were supposed to do. No more war memories came up for him! Reviewing his progress two
weeks later, Don said, "I still think about Vietnam but it doesn't seem to bother me.”
In our last session, another war memory came up where he had to identify dead bodies days after they had
been killed. After tapping on all the aspects of what he saw and realized, he stated that now the bad spirits are
gone. He had felt as if these dead men had always been with him, and now he reported that a huge weight is
lifted of him, and he can breathe and think clearly.
His voice has a very different sound now. It is clearer, lighter, and faster. There is less roughness and he laughs
more. It is truly nice to hear the hope and confidence in his voice. His sleep has improved from getting four or
five hours per night in a ten-hour time period, interrupted by an average of two nightmares, to getting an average
of seven or eight hours with no nightmares.
Between the first session and his 60-day follow up, his SA-45 score dropped gradually from 122 to 77 and his
PCL-M dropped from 65 to 34 and remained there for the following two months. He continues to tap on his
Parkinson’s symptoms to keep the shaking under control.
