Someone s enthusiasm can certainly color what they see and it can even persuade clients to go along and report results that aren t really there. I suspect some of that happens within all versions of these energy procedures. In my experience, though, enthusiasm and wide eyed optimism tend to occur during the early stages. After that they tend to mellow into reality. While I certainly admit to an enthusiastic personality, I believe my initial optimism for EFT has mellowed over time into what I call congruence .
Congruence reflects experience.
It s a mature form of optimism. It happens when you have a deep sense of confidence and understanding about how these procedures work including what they will do and won t do. They become persistent. They investigate aspects. They look for core issues.
