My state of being as I begin this journey

I have been meaning to write about my state of being as I begin this journey. But before I begin, let me put it in the perspective of my 7 year old son, and his issues.

Sky has a deep and profound fear of abandonment. We adopted him when he was 17 months, and he internalized the trauma of leaving his foster-mother. He was perfectly fine for about three years, and then BOOM... all these issue came out.

We have done a lot of healing work for the past 2 years, helping him heal and clear that trauma. Mainly, we have used EMDR to help him attach emotionally to us, and from there, a lot more healing can continue. We have also used EFT a lot.

Last night, he was feeling very scared about having to "leave the family." So we did several rounds of EFT on that fear. The first round, the fear did not subside. The second round, it went down half-way. Then it went doen more. Several more, his fear went completely away.

During that short 10 minutes, I saw the light in my boy's eyes re-appear. He came alive. He perked up, and wanted to turn it around and help me with my fears.

"Do you have any fears, Daddy?"

I smiled. "Oh yes... I certainly do."
