Contents
At an EFT workshop, when I asked for a volunteer with a current emotional issue, Josh, 52, stepped forward. He was tall, well dressed, and articulate, and revealed a thoughtful gentleness as he explained his dilemma. He wanted to divorce his wife but was troubled by the emotional pain this would cause her.
Josh explained that he and his wife had been going to weekly couples therapy for the previous 3 years, as they attempted to work on the issues in their 28-year marriage. Their children were grown and had left home a year before they started counseling. Without their former shared focus on child rearing, Josh and his wife were thrown together more than they had ever been in the course of their marriage. They had quickly discovered that they didnt like each other that much, or perhaps they had grown apart while parenting, without realizing it. Josh was a Buddhist, with a vibrant spiritual practice; his wife had remained a Catholic and did not support her husbands new spiritual path.
