Bob,
What makes something sound like an infomercial to me is the 'too good to be true' aspect. And, the part of it that just doesn't seem to hold water (IMO). And, yes, if you could substitute the word depression for grief/grieving/etc. in the post (part of which is presented below, modified for depression and other mood disorders) it would also apply to depression, OCD, BPI, BPII, MPD, etc. IMHO. If I thought I could get rid of my dysthymia with clinical episodes by tapping upon parts of my body, I'd not be here now. And, if I thought the folks I see weekly losing loved ones could eliminate grief by tapping parts of THEIR bodies, I would most definitely tell them. But, I think it's not true. Both are very complex and not likely resolved by tapping one's body.I assume if tapping were the answer to grief, you would have a big section on it in the FAQ.

And to free ones's self from emotional pain is as simple as touching or "tapping", easy to find, "points" on one's own body (no one else need be present). This releases the pain and the [depression, OCD, BPI, BPII, MPD] that the BODY holds and that can not be reached though the mind!!!
