Knowledge and ability in reading eye accessing cues, and being able to ascertain whereabouts a particular problem area is stored, can be most useful in directing the client to the right place in their neurology to make the required shifts. Generally, I do this surreptitiously. When clients access particularly negative emotions and look in a certain direction whilst doing so, then shift away during a round of tapping because it is too uncomfortable, you can easily re-direct them to that place by making a gesture towards it. In the 9 Gamut treatment, finding the places where the tracking is off (clients eyes jump across an area, rather than tracking across smoothly when directing them to move eyes from floor to ceiling, left to right, right around the whole periphery) in relationship to the problem statement, and going over it numerous times or until the tracking has become smooth and easy, can be particularly helpful when the SUDs levels won't budge.
Later on in the testing phase, discovering the locations of new aspects, as well as taking a note how the location of the original subject matter has changed, provides some interesting insights and can lead to great therapeutic shortcuts. On a more general line, clients who have severe problems or an inability to access one or more of the representation systems can be helped by tapping whilst having their eyes focussed towards the respective rep system. This can often lead to memory flashes bringing up the original incident that caused them to shut down the representational system in the first place. Using a client's preferred representational system during the teaching of EFT, the treatment, and the feedback and testing stages is so deeply appreciated by the clients, it often amazes me. For example, people with a strong kinesthetic lead really relax right out and become very cooperative indeed if the treatment and learning is tailored to body sensations, remembering the points by touching them rather than telling them about them, receiving feedback about physical shifts and talking to them directly about what went on in their bodies during the treatment.
This particular group of people was always difficult to deal with using the majority of NLP interventions which are heavily biased towards being able to do amazing things in your mind's eye and just for those alone, I really feel that every NLP practitioner programme should include EFT. Supervisual clients and the ones who live in Auditory Digital on the other hand, much prefer to spend time discussing cognition, new insights, memories and like to dwell on the more technical aspects. Both these groups and the ones with the preference in the auditory system like to hear other case histories and this can be a useful tool to teach them various things you think they need to know.
