Childhood Trauma Turns to Peace
As a colleague and patient of Susan Hannibal, I've had the unique opportunity to collaborate, share concepts of her work and also experience the amazing results from what she does. Although traditional psychotherapists might think of her work as mystical, arcane and unexplainable scientifically, I have come to understand the basic neurophysiologic mechanism of EDIT®. In the past I have received a great deal of helpful somatically-based psychotherapy for childhood wounds. Sue's work, however, has resulted in a profound shift of what I would describe as my inner state of peace, self-understanding and acceptance, a change that is seldom if ever achieved with traditional psychotherapy.

I am a law school graduate who had been unsuccessful in taking the California Bar Exam three times. Through a recommendation from a family friend, I was introduced to Sue and decided to seek out her services before I take the California Bar Exam for the fourth time. After doing some soul searching, I realized that I had some deeper issues that needed to be dealt with before taking the exam, because knowledge of the law was not my problem.
With Sue's help and a few sessions of work with her, I explored my anxiety leading up to the bar exam and also my anxiety during the bar exam and how it was keeping me from staying focused. Using the EFT tapping, Sue helped me release the anxiety that was holding me back from passing the bar exam once and for all. She also provided me with invaluable resources to help me through out the three day process of the bar exam which helped with my anxiety and staying calm.
I highly recommend Sue's services and skills to anyone who has been unsuccessful in taking the bar exam and is ready to pass!!! It's a hard struggle passing the bar and it's amazing to know that there is someone like Sue out there with skills to help.

Dear Sue,
I have to admit it took me a long time to come to you a year ago, and it has taken me a long time to thank you.
Yes THANK you for helping me to open to myself again, and thank you for letting me experience the work I have done with you. I know it takes two to achieve what we have done, but I really needed someone who could give me the push I needed to do it and this person is you.
Because of you I really know what I don't want (a big difference from what I want), I finally know who I am, who I was, and who I want to be. Our sessions were intense but not painful. Now, I want to be a great mum, and I LOVE IT.
What you made me realize was that being so controlled by my mother caused me to attract a controlling husband, and I discovered I didn't want that anymore. I split from my husband of 10 years, it wasn't overnight, but I do feel much better. I want to live for my children....and myself.
Once again,
THANK YOU
S. B.

Years of Therapy Failed
Sue, I bought a book on EFT, read a little bit of it, and later found your name
during my Internet research. Since you were nearby, I decided to give you a try.
However, I thought your work would probably just be "one more false hope" or
temporary "feel good" on my long list. Boy, was I wrong! After only a handful of
sessions, I stepped out of the negative, fearful, limiting thoughts and feelings that
have plagued me even after years of therapy. Your work was so quick and
effective it blew me away. I don't know why or how these energy techniques work,
but I am finally doing things I was unable to accomplish for years. Things are so
much better for me, my gratitude is immeasurable.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
David / San Diego July 2006
Life Worth Living Again
Dear Susan, There are not words enough to express how much I appreciate what you have done for me. Since my early childhood I learned that showing my feelings or questioning authority was not acceptable. The way to get along in life was to always conform and never confront. Consequently I carried these beliefs with me and into my marriage and chose a man that emotionally abused me. I stuffed and pushed down my emotions, which caused severe ramifications, i.e. ulcerative colitis and eventually a colostomy. My first session with you "uncapped" the volcano that had been building inside of me. I experienced a release that was so intense it was like an explosion. Through the energy healing work I have begun to "feel" again - my sex drive has even returned after years of being shut down. I'm now engaged to a wonderful man and my life is worth living again.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you for being there and for yourhealing energy. You are the best!

Rape Trauma and Gambling Addiction
I just wanted to let you know how much I admire your courage to try to change yourself and stand up for your values just by visiting this website. I know of the pain you have endured. I was there. I have chosen to write this letter to praise and heartily recommend the work of Susan Hannibal. She helped me heal myself of a 30-year-old rape trauma in one session. As we worked together, I realized that ugly trauma had manifested into a gambling addiction.
I was unable to stop the compulsion, and it led to the disintegration of the very heart of myself, my values and self-worth. Something as simple as a visit to the grocery store could trigger the urge. If the total of my purchase had several sevens, it would send me into such an excitement and expectation of getting that one big jackpot I'd go directly to the casino. I would come home several hundred dollars poorer each time I went. I realized I could have gone to Europe several times and bought a condo there with the money I'd lost. The hardest times would be at dusk. I was ready to head out to the casino for the excitement of the lights and the exhilaration of seeing the people winning. I was lonely and under stress, and the gambling and excitement made me feel better, but it was a costly "high."
After just a few sessions with Susan, a skilled and compassionate intuitive healer, I am completely free of the emotional turmoil caused by gambling and the underlying feelings of unworthiness and low self-esteem. Truly, because of this Emotional Freedom Technique meridian energy therapy, the compulsion to gamble no longer controls my thoughts. I AM FREE AT LAST. The newfound power in my life is dramatic. My family is safe and happy again. This new type of emotional healing work is simple and very effective, and well worth the cost for a life-changing metamorphosis. As of the date of this letter, I am recovered nearly three months as I write this, and I respect myself again!!! I see the casino ads on TV with all the excited winners at the one armed bandits (appropriately named) and I have no desire to go there. The ads have NO influence on me at all. Thank you Susan, thank you so very much!
Sincerely,

Phantom Limb Pain Heals in One Session
My name is Lee. I'm a 67-year-old amputee. I lost my lower right leg due to a car accident in 1978. I've had severe phantom limb pain, which is pain in the part of my leg that was amputated, ever since. My doctors have tried numerous drugs and therapies but none of them ever worked.
In January 2003 my niece brought me to see Sue Hannibal. Using the EFT tapping, Sue helped me release the traumatic memory of the car accident from 1978, subsequent weeks of suffering in the hospital, and other issues connected to the loss of my leg. She also used her hands to smooth the energy field in the missing leg. As I lay on her massage table with my eyes closed, I could feel her hands stroking the space where my lower leg used to be. After that one treatment, my phantom limb pain vanished. I would occasionally have a slight recurrence, but when that happened I would do the EFT tapping on myself as Sue taught me, and it would go away.
In May 2005 I was walking on crutches without my prosthesis on. The tip of one crutch slipped and I fell on my front steps, banging my stump. The phantom pain was back. I returned to see Sue again and once again, with some EFT tapping, the phantom pain has vanished. I would highly recommend EFT and Sue's healing skills to everyone, especially amputees.
Thank you, Sue!

Doctor Sent Me to You
WOW! You were exactly the right person for me to work with at exactly the right time. Thank you for your gifts—professional expertise, intuitive awareness, and perseverance. We worked every minute of those three sessions and nailed it!
Every day is better than the day before. I’m about 95% recovered. The doctor who referred me to you said our work and continuing with my nutritional program should have me back in shape by the spring.
I’ll stay in touch.
With great appreciation, S.G.
Terror Transformed, a Life Healed
Hi Sue,
Our last session was in June 2004, but I wanted to let you know how I'm doing. First, I want to say a HUGE "THANK YOU" for all your help in my healing, my path, and for helping me to become a better person. I am stronger, more confident, more courageous and much more at peace. You started me on my path of healing and getting to a state of health I have never before lived or achieved, mentally, psychologically, or emotionally. I have grown by leaps and bounds in ways I NEVER would have thought possible. EFT has been a lifesaver for me.
I grew up in a household of extreme abuse, especially physically at the hands of my father. Ever since I can remember, I was terrified of him. I had all sorts of issues stemming from his horrible abuse. I remember how my energy kept switching and running backwards during our phone sessions, even at the mention of his name.
I was raped many years ago and was carrying around a LOT of unresolved issues from that as well. We worked on these primary and underlying issues and they were totally resolved during our tapping sessions, including low self-esteem, no self-confidence, lots of fear of standing up for myself and speaking my truth, especially to men.
Literally every night for years, I'd had nightmares, night terrors and bad dreams. After our first session about the rape, I was able to sleep through the night for the FIRST TIME and awaken feeling rested and refreshed. That proved to me tapping really does work! Yes, at times it was a scary, draining and painful process, facing things from my past that I'd forced down, run from and refused to face for so long. But you helped me face them by reminding me that this would be the last time because after our work, they'd be gone, and they were.
I made the conscious decision to cut out of my life or drastically reduce time with people, including family members, who generally do not uplift me, bring me happiness, enrich my life on some level, or treat me with respect. I've decided to live more for ME and not worry about what others may do, say or think about me, my life, and my decisions. Since acting on these decisions, I've felt much freer and more at peace.
I find it easy and effortless to speak up for myself, say what I want and need and go after it. This a SUPER-HUGE deal for me, as my father always made sure I was terrified of speaking. As a result, I would let people walk all over me. I no longer carry that victim mentality nor project such victim energy. I speak my truth with grace and tact and I LOVE feeling able to do so.
I am doing well in all areas of my life. I'm continually working on healing and growing, especially spiritually. I'm now a Level II Reiki practitioner! I bought my first house and am enjoying it immensely. I recently got a new job. I am now engaged to the wonderful, loving man who has steadfastly stood by me, even when I had horrible mood swings and crying spells during our work. I love him tons and I know I'm blessed to have him by my side.
I've enclosed some photos that were taken when I first bought the house, and enclosed a copy of my engagement videotape. I will be contacting you soon for some sessions on additional things I want to work on.
I'm enjoying this path as I continually seek my passion. Sue, thank you for the work you do, and for allowing Spirit to work through you to help me and others like me.
With much appreciation and thanks,
F.S.
