Question
Hi, I was wondering if there is some kind of phobia for pumpkins. It's just everytime I get near one, I start to hyper-venalate and just can't be around them. Even the pumpkin seeds make me have a panic attack. They're just so orange and round, I get so scared. Am I weird? Please help me

Answer
George, when you think about all the scary stuff attached to Halloween and the Fall season, it is no wonder that small children get traumatized to the point of creating an ongoing fear of items like this.

Fortunately, EFT can work with either a "feeling" issue or the actual memory associated with the fear. Go to the EFT site: www.emofree.com and download the free EFT manual file. Once you learn the basic technique, you may be able to treat it yourself! Otherwise, find a practitioner on the EFT site who may be able to help you rid yourself of this fear in a session or two.

With aloha and best wishes,
