Thanks, JL. Your links are pretty interesting. As is your story.
I tried the alternative list for my state; unfortunately, not enough people are listed. No acupuncturists. My cousin successfully saw an acup. for something; I should ask her who it was.
I was surprised how much I liked "Instinct to Heal". I bought it on a whim. He endorses EMDR-type tapping, too, and his theory about it & EMDR is pretty neat. He says it works best for problems based in memories, like the situation you reported, I think. Sorry about your dog, by the way. They're capable of such absolute love…
I wonder if for EMDR & tapping, at least in some cases, to the extent that it works (in some situations anyway) if it might be part meditative, part distraction, allowing thoughts & feelings that seem too scary by themselves to be experienced in a safer-feeling way. Like holding a child's hand when they see something too exciting for the first time. Then, when one gets through it one time, then the feeling's safely out, and it doesn't have to be avoided, and it flows more fully. I dunno. Just a thought.
