Abstract
A 37-year-old female with a history of complex trauma, anxiety and depression was treated
with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) supplemented with guided imagery within the first
24 hours of having a stroke that affected the right side. CT scans indicated a haemorrhage and
brain clot. Surgery was delayed as another seizure was expected. Interventions occurred
during COVID-19 restrictions. The patient then engaged in 90 minutes of EFT every day over
the course of a week while in hospital. After seven days she was discharged, and there were
significant reductions in depression, anxiety and pain, and mobility returned. Upon discharge
the patient had evident improvement in balance and coordination and successfully completed
a driving test within the weeks that followed. Subsequent CT scans reveal very little scaring or
evidence of the stroke, blood pressure remained stable, and no medication was warranted.
This case study presents the practitioner’s perspective of the sessions provided.
