More About the Author

As a child I loved to read and learn. I was fascinated by ancient times and eventually majored in archeology in college and graduate school. But along the way I decided that live people were more interesting than dead ones, and I became a psychotherapist and teacher. For over 25 years I have worked with and learned from thousands of people. Thanks to my friends and colleagues in the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology I am able to help spread the word about the amazing and rapid ways energy psychology techniques can contribute to emotional healing on the planet. I specialize in using energy modalities, especially EFT to help people recover from eating disorders, compulsive spending, anxiety, trauma, fears, relationship problems and more. I have written 6 books. Five Simple Steps to Emotional Healing is an award winning book that will teach you how to use EFT to deal with many emotional issues. Born to Spend, Desserts Is Stressed Spelled Backwards, and How to Stop Playing the Weighting Game address compulsive eating and bulimia. Freedom at Your Fingertips is the latest exciting book for EFT enthusiasts or people who want to find out what the bleep this new fangled technique is all about. EFT For Procrastination, a book about how to stop putting up with putting off is now available. Don't put off reading it! I am in private practice in California and also enjoy counseling by phone or Skype.

This review is from: EFT for Procrastination (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques) (Paperback)

This book is not like all the others that tell you to use your time better or organize your papers. The author realizes that procrastinators are plagued with fear that is so paralyzing that they would rather face negative consequences than be wrong, imperfect or look silly. The book is filled with interesting stories about hard core procrastinators who benefitted from Arenson's counseling. EFT is a powerful took for getting rid of the underlying fears and eliminating self defeating beliefs without struggle. Read her book Five Simple Steps to Emotional Healing to learn the find points of EFT tapping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom from the bottom of the well and beyond..., June 30, 2009

This review is from: EFT for Procrastination (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques) (Paperback)

I read everything Gloria Arenson writes. In addition to being a world-class therapist with a lifetime of experience to share, she is one of the true masters of Emotional Freedom Technique and one of my few go-to experts whose knowledge on the subject is consistently superior. I love this book for how compact it is, fititng neatly into purse or backpack, and how well Arenson both tells the story of the many different forms of procrastination (oh yes, you'll see yourself in one or many of them) but also finds gems hidden in the refuse of lives put on hold by this disorder.

There is so much hope, and so many excellent tips here, I don't know where to start. I love how Arenson gently and scientifically lifts the burden of shaming and blaming off the habitual procrastinator's shoulders with education in brain biology (Chapter 7: "It's Your Brain's Fault"). This is paramount learning in comprehending the underpinnings of one's own procrastination. These are lessons none of us learnt in school, yet are oh-so important.

And too, are the excellent pigeonholes and tips Arenson gives in the form of her techniques: "Pork Barrelling", "The Weighting Game" (which in addition, is another great Arenson title to explore), "Dare Yourself To Fail" and her simple yet elegant daily check-in, "The Three-Step Daily Workout". Takes minutes, once you're in the swing of how to do EFT.

The fundamental stream running through the heart and soul of this excellent book is the great love Arenson has for procrastinators (she lists herself among those so afflicted as do I) and how this is elegantly and with great expertise transferred to the reader in the form of exercises designed to gently bring awareness and solutions to the problem.

Bottom line: you need this book. If you put off anything, any time, ever, you need this book. If you haven't gone to the doctor, had the important-yet-frightening conversation or have rooms you can't go in for the mess. YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

As Director of the Energy Coach Institute, it has been my pleasure over many years to have Gloria Arenson lecture to my students and to enthusiastically recommend her many works. This is yet another worthy title to add to that list, and to make sure finds its way into the hands of my family and friends.

Another job, book, crusade and solution very well done. Highest recommendation.

This review is from: EFT for Procrastination (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques) (Paperback)

Most people joke about being procrastinators, but we all know that they don't do anything about it. This is a great book with a program to help them. It is easy reading but gets to the heart of the problem. I am so glad I got this book!
