1. Think of a problem, trauma, an injury, a pain an accident, etc. Try to re-live it in your mind.
2. Rate the issue on a 0-10 scale
3. Tap the Karate chop point on the side of your hand while repeating the following (3 times): Even though____________________, I deeply accept myself. Examples: 1. Even though I have back pain, I deeply accept myself. 2. Even though my mother died, I deeply accept myself. 3. Even though I am afraid to ask for a raise, I deeply accept myself, 4. Even though I fell on my back, I deeply accept myself.
4. Now while thinking of the problem, trauma or injury, tap the following points: eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under nose, under lip, collarbone point, and under the arm. Tap each point about 7 times. It is good to repeat out loud a statement about your issue. For example: “My back injury, my back injury…” or “my mothers death….” Etc. After doing this, move on to the next step.
5. Start tapping the Gamut point on your wrist and do the following:
- Eyes open
- Eyes closed
- Open eyes and point them down to the left
- Point the eyes down to right
- Spin your eyes around in one direction
- Spin your eyes around in another direction
- Hum a few notes of a song
- Count to five
- Hum a few notes of song
While doing this, remember to keep thinking about the issue or problem.
6. Now tap all the points in step 4 above about seven times one more time while repeating your statement.
Your stress or anxiety about the issue should have decreased or gone down to a “0” at this point. If it hasn’t gone away completely, repeat step 3 again with the following change:
Even though I STILL_____________________, I deeply accept myself. For example: “ Even though I still am afraid to ask for raise, I deeply accept myself.” Or Even though I am still upset that mother died, I deeply accept myself.
Now repeat steps 4-6 again. Usually, the issue has gone down to a “0” by now. If not, you will probably need some help clearing the problem.

I was in chronic pain and was having frequent migraines when I first saw Dr. Whittlesey. I have been to many specialists including, neurologists and orthopedic surgeons without relief or a solution. I heard about him from a friend who swore by him. Right away I was impressed by Dr. Whittlesey's friendly manner and professionalism. He seemed to know just what was causing my pain.
I felt better after my very first visit. After a few sessions my pain and headaches were completely gone. It has been a few years since my first appointment. Occasionally when I start to feel out of balance I return for treatment.
Dr. Whittlesey truly gave me my life back. "I highly recommend him to everyone who is in pain and is seeking relief.

Dr. Whittlesey has significantly decreased my chronic pain problems and also acute pain problems through his various modalities. He has also increased my understanding of my body and taught me methods to prevent problems. I also rely on him to reset my nervous system when I start to notice any balance problem. I highly recommend him for achieving optimum health.
