ASTHMA ATTACK
"I was on vacation - a woman having an asthma "attack" struggled into the bathroom with her husband's assistance. She sat down in a chair and he left. I happened to be in there just getting out of the shower. I walked up to her (in my bathrobe) and said I knew of a simple way that might relieve her intense fear at not being able to breathe. She agreed to try. After one round she could breathe better; after two the attack had stopped completely." - Damaris Drewry
CAT ALLERGY
"I have had the pleasure of being a participant in one of Dr. Drewry's women's groups as well as an individual client. First, Damaris showed me how to use EFT to diminish my severe allergy to cats. I was a big skeptic in the beginning - but after a few minutes of doing EFT, I see the results and have been won over!"
CHILDHOOD INCEST/
AFTER-DEATH COMMUNICATION
Damaris,
"I have been released from the dark depths of shame, grief, and despair. For the first time in my life I am experiencing a sense of wholeness and personal goodness. In the evening, I light a candle and I ask that Arden might return so that I can talk to him. That has not happened. I sense that too much time has passed. I find it interesting that the anger toward my brother that I have felt so strongly in the past is gone. However, I still feel a sense of sadness for what we all endured. I wish to discuss this further with you during our session on Thursday. You have given me an incredible gift. Know that I will be forever grateful.
The most unbelievable thing occurred last night, on the eve of the 48th anniversary of my brother's passing. A few days ago I did what you suggested. I requested that my higher self might communicate with Arden's higher self in sharing my message. In this process, I also asked that I might see a red balloon as a sign that this exchange had occurred. I was expecting (or at least hoping) to have someone ring my doorbell and hand me a balloon. Last night after I played some quiet music on the piano, I poured myself a glass of wine and turned on the television. It's something I don't normally do. (The glass of wine, yes, but not the part about turning on the the t.v.!) I casually was flipping through channels when all at once I became very aware of what was on the screen: There was a commercial about some kind of insurance, and the speaker was saying that buying it would guarantee peace of mind. Suddenly the screen was covered in almost its entirety with RED BALLOONS!! I had never seen this commercial, I was not familiar with the name of the insurance company, I do not know the channel it was on, but I do know, without a doubt, that all of those beautiful, floating red balloons were a direct message to me. I was flooded with a sense of gratitude, peace, and amazement! Thank you again for all that you have done for me. Know that I am most grateful. -- Joann
CHILDHOOD SEXUAL TRAUMA
"Dr. Drewry helped me to address some core issues in my life and clear the blocks in order to move through them. I found it exceptional that she was able to help me come to terms with my issues after one session, while I had never been able to fully resolve them after several years of therapy. She has a way of getting right to the heart of the matter.
I feel like I have left the past behind and am now free to enjoy my life today." - anonymous
DIVORCE
"After being jolted by a painful divorce, you helped me regain a sense of control of my life and opened doors to new insights and a deeper sense of purpose. I would like to see more MEN take advantage of your expertise. It would make the world a better place."
- Lars Bruer, Corporate Executive
EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN/LOSS OF JOB: “You have such a gift for pinpointing what is wrong, and knowing how to heal each person the way that they need. Not only do you have all the education, but something so special - your healing abilities are like no one I have ever met, and I have been blessed to have met many. You are the only person that heals the mind, body, and spirit. Sometimes I wonder if you know how special you are, or how much you have given to people, and the world, by helping and caring so much. I'm just glad that there is someone like you, and I thank God that I've been lucky enough to have to have experienced your helping me on the road to healing. I hope many more people will be blessed enough to have you for a therapist, or leader, or friend.” - Lori Neier
FIBROIDS
I want to take this opportunity at the end of the year to give you thanks for the possibilities that you opened up for me in 2008. Your Beyond Talk Therapy opened the door for the many blessings that I received this past year. I came to you looking for physical healing, and received emotional and spiritual healing as well. Within the course of this year I have changed my perception, and that has changed my life. Many things that I thought were lost to me have been restored this year. Thank you - Priscilla Hawkins
FROZEN SHOULDER SYNDROME
"I was at a conference last week and overheard one woman telling another about her 'frozen shoulder'. She said it had frozen up six months ago and she had just had a procedure done at great expense where doctors manipulated her shoulder while she was under general anesthetic. She had tried everything but nothing gave her relief. At this point I interrupted her, asked her if she had 15 minutes to spare and we walked off into a relatively quiet part of the hotel lobby. I asked her what was happening in her life when her shoulder "froze." After asking her about 5 questions in this regard it appeared that she had locked away into that shoulder, anger she felt she had no right to express. She started to cry and said her daughter enlisted in one of the armed forces and left right before Christmas leaving her two children for Mom and Dad to take care of. Her level of discomfort was a "10." I asked her to tap and start moving her shoulder and say..."Even though I am angry with my daughter for risking her life and leaving me with this burden, I deeply love and accept myself and all of my feelings. Even though I am supposed to be nice and cooperative and helpful and anger is NOT an acceptable emotion, I deeply and completely love and acknowledge my right to my feelings." She kept rotating her shoulder with increasing range of motion as she said, "I give myself permission to acknowledge and express my anger in an acceptable way - I have the right to be angry and to say so." We stopped there because we had limited time. She had recovered about 50% of her normal range of motion and her discomfort level fell to about a 2 or 3. All this within 15 minutes. Given more time, it is likely we would have made still more progress.- Dr. Drewry
LINEAGE CLEARING - FEMALE
I am so very grateful to you for your generous spirit and willingness to work with me on the lineage issues. I am stronger, I am confident, and I am proud of me. I've been trying to think of the words I could say that describe how much our work has helped me. I'm going to write impressions I feel, and you can certainly wordsmith and use them as needed. "Damaris embodies profound insight and understanding, far more than empathy. She is a generous soul willing to share the journey from the initial troubled soul searching to discovery and enlightenment, with knowledge, wisdom and humor." I found her to be powerful and steadfast in her ability to guide me in my work. She taught me how to explore, how to focus, how to clear my mind and energy and soul of those long-seated ideas and past hurts. Bringing them to the light of day empowered me to look at them, study them, acknowledge and release them. And now I am joyfully me." Rita Richardson
NERVE DAMAGE IN ARM: “I suddenly noticed that I have no numbness in my arm and two fingers (that had nerve damage and were surgically "repaired") This is remarkable to me because, even though I did receive some relief from the surgical procedure, I continued to experience considerable and persistent discomfort. While there is still slight tingling and weakness, I would have to say that this is the closest to "normal" my arm and hand have felt in over five years. Wow. Thanks!” – Katherine C.
REPEATING RELATIONSHIP ISSUE: "I have been to see several therapists for many years for the same problem ....my unhappy relationships with men. I did not get clear on some of my issues, and still repeated the same patterns over and over. In my first session with Dr. Drewry I got to the core of the problem having to do with my father; I feel like I can finally begin to heal this life long pattern once and for all...... thank you, (6/2007) - Julie K.
SLEEP APNEA
I slept w my daughter last night. She said I didn't wake her at all with snoring. So I take that as evidence that I did not apnea either. SUCCESS! - M. Leonard (She had two sessions)
SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND SELF-ESTEEM: "Thank you for helping to open my mind to the possibility of being completely different, and for creating a safe space for me to acknowledge and accept my own traumas, whether or not I even remembered them. I may not have been consciously in my body long enough to see the rock, but I've been feeling the ripples all my life. I'm finding calmer waters now. Your reassuring and accepting presence and your intuitive use of energy medical techniques made a profound difference, and you gave me tools that I have used every day. – Teri D.
FEAR OF GOING TO BED AT NIGHT
Damaris, you are a very bright light! I wanted to thank you again for the work you did with me a few weeks ago and share a few thoughts on my experience of the process. Who you are and your connection to All That Is, is more powerful than anything else. You reminded my that my own intention was enough, if only I truly believed that. I took that as a challenge. For years I had made this same statement but had failed to really put it to the test. It was time now for me to 'put up or shut up.' I am happy to report that it's true, now from a place of experience and Knowing.
First, let me say you were very helpful in 'pulling the cork out of the bottle.' As you may recall, I was experiencing fear upon going to bed at night. To make a long story brief, when we began the session, two distinct parts of myself arose...... the child victim and the child tyrant. Clearly, the child tyrant was driving the bus and did not want to give up control. It also was doing everything possible to keep the EFT process from being successful. Ultimately, I left the session feeling confused about whether any progress had been made at all.
It was the following day before I was able to finally step out of my unconscious identification with the child tyrant, and clearly remove her from the driver's seat of my bus. That one realization created a wonderful domino effect which continues to this day. My identification with this part of me was so strong, that I was on the verge of dismissing the entire session as a failure. The thing that tipped the scale in favor of awareness was you: During the session the higher part of you continued to speak directly to the higher part of me, while brushing aside (and refusing to engage) the drama of the alternating victim and tyrant. Later, while sitting on the fence deciding what to do (whether to stay in ego or step into a new awareness) the one factor that kept coming up for me was the undeniable clarity and integrity with which you spoke, that ultimately resonated with the higher part of me. You were in essence, reminding me who I really am, reminding me of the truth of my being. It was as if you were giving me a hand up out of the swamp. And my task was not to continue to wallow in sorting out the drama, but to simply step out of it entirely. That is the choice I made.
Thank you - Brenda LeMay
UTERINE CANCER
Christmas time, 2006: The physical history of this condition in my early fifties: hormone replacement therapy without enough progesterone to balance the estrogen had set up estrogen dominance in my body, evidenced by spotting. I did see a doctor and had a sonogram after about a year of this, but nothing conclusive showed up. The emotional history during the same timeframe was a series of situational crises in my life and relationships that created conflict, confusion and chaos (in my way of looking at the mind/body connection, these are the 3 "c" words that lead to cancer). On the Holmes and Rahe (1967) stress scale (divorce, moving, career change, death of a loved one, etc.) I was well over 600 where high risk was 300. In the 5 days between diagnosis and surgery I tapped for every possible thing I could think of that contributed to my body's extreme cry for help. I made commitments to myself to change my life to eliminate the conflicts, and KEPT them! After the surgery the lab results came back - there was no cancer left! - Dr. Drewry
SLEEP APNEA: One session resolution
Steve has had sleep apnea for 38+ years:
"About two months ago, Damaris and I decided to work on my Sleep Apnea problem.
We were sure that energetically it was time for me to release this life altering dis-ease.
I also struggled with insomnia so my sleep patterns were not healthy. After only one session, I went home and slept without my c-pap machine for the first time in fifteen years. The insomnia problem was not solved as immediately but we have slowly erased that problem as well. I am now dedicated to sharing this news with others who suffer with sleep disorders.
In addition to writing to you I have sent a copy of this letter along with a DVD that was filmed during the session, to the ASAA (American Sleep Apnea Association). www.sleepapnea.org. I hope to hear from both of you about your thoughts on the best way to get the word out there about the EFT process and how it can help." - Steve Klunk
