I'm a Reiki practitioner. I've also done a little work with EFT for myself, but not with others yet.. I've been talking with my guy about the possibility of giving these things a try to help with his PTSD. I'm willing to give it a try, although I wonder about the wisdom of giving him these treatments myself, as I've read countless warnings about carers not allowing themselves to think they can "cure" their sufferer. But we've begun talking about it, and he seems more willing to trust me in terms of treatment than he is to trust an outsider, so it may be me or no treatment at all.

Of course, what I have to do is tell myself that I am merely the conduit, the tool that allows him to get better, or not. I am neither the cause of any improvement, nor responsible if it fails. I must not allow myself to personalize this treatment, if I undertake this work with him.

*gulp*

OK, so while I'm trying to put myself into the right frame of mind to be a conduit through which healing may or may not take place, I could stand to hear from any of you who have real life experiences with either Reiki or EFT in treating PTSD.

Much obliged to you all,
