The EFT Movie Technique, also know as the story approach, is a gentle way to clear taumatic events. When recounting a past event have the client start at the beginning. Have them tell you as soon as they feel any emotional intensity. It is also important to remain observant to any visual or auditory clues of emotional stress. If these are noted the client is to be stopped.

Now treat whatever is happening at this point until the intensity level reaches a 0. Have them repeat the story from the beginning, again stopping at the first signs of emotional stress. Keep doing this until the whole event can be recounted without upset.

This technique is useful to ensure all aspects of a trauma are treated. It also allows the client to work through an issue without being overwhelmed by feelings. Often in doing this other memories will surface and these too may be later treated if needed. It important to go slowly and respect the reality of the persons experience.
