                  is predictable in many ways.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thoughtfield.com/apex.htm"> When
                  a person finally gets up the nerve
                  to go to someone for help, they think
                  they will be expected to sit in therapy
                  and talk about the problem. Then,
                  after a few or many sessions, they
                  expect to feel better. They rarely
                  expect to be cured.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thoughtfield.com/apex.htm">Since
                  there is nothing in our culture that
                  allows for a cognitive understanding
                  as to why tapping on the meridian
                  points works, it is very difficult
                  to accept that something they have
                  coped and lived with for years could
                  disappear in minutes. Dr. Callahan
                  calls this the "apex problem," which
                  is that patients and those observing
                  the therapy cannot believe that such
                  a simple technique can work so well.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thoughtfield.com/apex.htm"> Instead,
                  they try to come up with explanations
                  that they are familiar with to account
                  for the outcome.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FD4C819A-3AD2-44D9-B6A0-719D44DC9FC2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
