Cure golf yips with EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique - in Phuket, Thailand

EFT – A practical treatment for curing golf yips

As a golfer you are undoubtedly aware of the infamous golfing yips. But did you know that you can cure the yips by using the energy psychology technique known as EFT?

The yips tend to show up when you are feeling stress, anxiety or pressure. During that all-too-crucial moment, your shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist or hands makes a sudden jerk or flinch movement which ruins your golf shot.

The more this experience happens to you, then more stressful it becomes and, inevitably, the more you find yourself worrying it might start happening on this very shot in front of you right now.

Memories of important golf shots going horribly wrong carry a powerful energetic charge. The stronger the emotional charge, the more you’ll find yourself remembering and playing out those stressful memories.

The more your mind replays these events, the stronger the negative feelings become. You more your mind is focusing on the fact that the yips might suddenly show up, the more your subconscious stress levels rise and the more likely your body will start experiencing the yips.

At this point positive thinking and will power (conscious mind) go out of the window. When the feelings stress, anxiety and pressure are at such high intensity the comparatively tiny efforts of the conscious mind are close to useless.

Just think positively

How many times has another golfer suggested you ‘just think positively’ to overcome the yips? That’s like telling someone with a phobia to ‘just relax’. Feelings are millions of times more powerful than thoughts, so to produce consistently good golf shots while your body is experiencing powerful negative feelings of stress, worry, anxiety or frustration is virtually impossible.

Anyone who suggests you can get over the yips by thinking positively clearly doesn’t know what they are talking about.

Instead of working with your analytical conscious mind you would be much better off by working with the underlying emotional stress and energetic tension (in the subconscious mind). By using energy psychology techniques such as EFT and NLP you can actually release the underlying tension and subconscious anxiety from its source; and it’s happens a lot quicker than you might think.

The yips can’t be cured!                                                                                               

People often sight Bernhard Langer as a proof that the yips cannot be cured. Such people sight that Langer had such a strong golfing mind, yet because he was still plagued with the yips, that this means the yips cannot be cured. I do not share in this belief.

Regardless of how your conscious mind is, this is not the area to be focusing on; just ask Tiger Woods. It is well known that Tiger underwent hypnotherapy sessions (subconscious mind) before nearly every competition he played, ever since the age of 13. It’s the subconscious mind that determines feelings and emotional states, not the conscious mind.

While changing your clubs, wearing your lucky socks or praying to a higher power might actually help reduce the yips temporarily these are all very conscious methods and none of them address the underlying emotional and energetic charge held within the tissues of your body.

How does EFT cure the yips?

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and that is exactly what it is – a technique that will help you find freedom from emotional stress and physical tension.

Instead of analysing the yips or coaching you to think positively (conscious mind) I can help you to release the underlying stress held in your physical body (unconscious mind) using this proven energy psychology technique.

There is a very apt saying in the field of energy psychology, “the issues are in the tissues” and the golf yips are no exception to this.

By tapping on various meridian energy points around the body (the same points acupuncturists stimulate with needles in Chinese     Meridian Energy Lines medicine), the emotional stress in your body starts to be released real time.

It is an energetic process whereby the blocked energy pathways are gently tapped open so that the underlying stress is released at a cellular level.

This process happens within minutes of tapping and works whether you believe in it or not.
This may sound hard to believe (conscious mind), but once you experience it in your body (subconscious mind) you will swiftly become a believer in the promise of energy psychology      methods such as EFT.

The fact that EFT is being used around the world right now to release the horrific traumas of war from the minds of war veterans within a session or two is evidence enough that EFT can be used to release the comparatively mild ‘trauma’ of the yips in golf.

Take Action

If you are a golfer who is suffering from the yips I invite you to contact me to arrange some face to face sessions out on the golf course.

I live in Phuket Thailand where there are a collection of world class golf courses. If you live in Phuket then arrange sessions will be easy. If you live in Thailand but in another city such as Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai or Koh Samui then a short flight will get you down here.

If you live in neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia or Hong Kong then a slightly longer flight, directly into Phuket, will be the way forwards. If you live further afield I encourage you to find a local EFT practitioner (to help keep costs down), but if the search is unsuccessful please feel free to contact me to discuss the viability of face to face sessions with me.

Group Sessions

As well as individual one to one sessions, I offer group sessions for up to 6 golfers at a time. This is a fun, effective and easily affordable way to start experiencing the benefits of using EFT and NLP to reduce and eventually cure the yips from your golf game.

If you and some fellow yip sufferers are interested in arranging a group session please call me on +66 (0)83 201 4621 or email me for more details.

Sound too good to be true?

You may think that this sounds too good to be true, don’t worry, you are not the first golfer to question the effectiveness of EFT at enhancing your performance and you won’t be the last!

I encourage you to suspend your disbelief for long enough to put these incredible energy-psychology tools to the test for yourself.

As any professional golfer will tell you, the difference between a ‘good round’ and ‘great round’ is primarily down to what was happening in your mind during those rounds!

Bring EFT into your golf game now and start shooting the scores that put a big smile on your face!
