ALLERGIES: SEVERE LIFELONG SKIN ALLERGIES
This one session was amazing: I’ve had severe skin allergies from the time I was born – serious enough to put me in Denver Children’s Hospital for a whole year when I was a baby. I was allergic to foods, plants, all animals…all my life. When I was pregnant I had boils all up and down my legs. At the time of the session I had breakouts on my hands and legs. Damaris found the causes of the problems, used EFT to clear them, and I have had no problems since then. Now I’m petting dogs and cats when I want to, and have had no breakouts anywhere, since then. I thought I was going to live the rest of my life breaking out from everything I ate and everything I touched; this has been a profound change for me. Now I have no skin allergies at all! That was 100% elimination of my symptoms in 1 session! -Linda Thompson in Tucson.
ANXIETY AND TRAUMA
"I was under a lot of pressure and stress from an investment my husband and I had made. Our life savings and future earnings were put in jeapardy because of fraud. I had trouble sleeping, relaxing or enjoying myself. I would waken after 2-4 hours sleep with a horrible feeling of fear which I couldn't understand. A 90-minute session with Dr. Drewry helped me understand where the fear was coming from which then allowed me to sleep and relax. I would highly reccommend a session with Damaris to allow joy and lack of worry back into your life." - Elaine Christie, R. N.
ASTHMA ATTACK
"I was on vacation - a woman having an asthma "attack" struggled into the bathroom with her husband's assistance. She sat down in a chair and he left. I happened to be in there just getting out of the shower. I walked up to her (in my bathrobe) and said I knew of a simple way that might relieve her intense fear at not being able to breathe. She agreed to try. After one round she could breathe better; after two the attack had stopped completely." - Damaris Drewry
CAT ALLERGY
"I have had the pleasure of being a participant in one of Dr. Drewry's women's groups as well as an individual client. First, Damaris showed me how to use EFT to diminish my severe allergy to cats. I was a big skeptic in the beginning - but after a few minutes of doing EFT, I see the results and have been won over!" - Kathy W.
CHILDHOOD INCEST
"I have been released from the dark depths of shame, grief, and despair. For the first time in my life I am experiencing a sense of wholeness and personal goodness. I find it interesting that the anger toward my brother that I have felt so strongly in the past is gone. However, I still feel a sense of sadness for what we all endured. You have given me an incredible gift. Know that I will be forever grateful. - JoAnne
CHILDHOOD SEXUAL TRAUMA
"Dr. Drewry helped me to address some core issues in my life and clear the blocks in order to move through them. I found it exceptional that she was able to help me come to terms with my issues after one session, while I had never been able to fully resolve them after several years of therapy. She has a way of getting right to the heart of the matter. I feel like I have left the past behind and am now free to enjoy my life today." - anonymous.
DAUGHTER/MOTHER ISSUES
In my first session with Damaris she helped me unravel issues with my mother that had been locked away since I was an infant in a high chair. I had no idea that these experiences were causing me such unhappiness, self-sabotage and self-hatred today. She gave me the tools to release the experiences, books to help me understand my mother - which in turn has given me peace of mind. I found out that you are never too old for therapy! I am writing this in May of 2010 and I will be 60 this year and I’m experiencing the first happiness that I can ever remember. Damaris has a pure talent for helping you find what is wrong, identifying quickly what can be done and giving you absolutely amazing affirmations to do that are so right on with your issues. I felt IMMEDIATE results and relief and in 3 sessions find that I am empowered in my relationship with my mother for the first time in my life. I also lost 16 pounds in no time! I will be forever grateful to Damaris….a friend, a wonderful healer and a true blessing to all of us who share this planet.
Sincerely,Barbara Koehler-WalkerGoodman, MissouriDAUGHTER/MOTHER ISSUES
....thankyou for helping me get my life back! - Lisa Wilson
DIVORCE
"After being jolted by a painful divorce, you helped me regain a sense of control of my life and opened doors to new insights and a deeper sense of purpose. I would like to see more MEN take advantage of your expertise. It would make the world a better place."
- Lars Bruer, Corporate Executive
DYSTONIA
Background: 4 ½ years ago I saw my local MD and he referred me to a Neurologist in Tucson, and she referred me to a movement disorder specialist who injected me with 125 units of botox, with more treatment of 175 units 90 days later. When this didn't work, I was referred to Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale - more botox and this time, directly into the tongue as well as jaws. The botox was so strong that I would actually foam at the mouth when I would drink water; amd though it was very small sips from a spoon, it would come out my nose. So, Mayo's decided I would be a good candidate for DBS – major cranial surgery - but I didn't do it. Found another team of doctors in Tucson, an ENT and Neurologist team, they lowered my botox to 65 units and I have been seeing them on a regular basis for over 3 years.
First Session with Dr. Drewry: We talked for over an hour and then finished the session with EFT. Read more...
EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN/LOSS OF JOB: “You have such a gift for pinpointing what is wrong, and knowing how to heal each person the way that they need. Not only do you have all the education, but something so special - your healing abilities are like no one I have ever met, and I have been blessed to have met many. You are the only person that heals the mind, body, and spirit. Sometimes I wonder if you know how special you are, or how much you have given to people, and the world, by helping and caring so much. I'm just glad that there is someone like you, and I thank God that I've been lucky enough to have to have experienced your helping me on the road to healing. I hope many more people will be blessed enough to have you for a therapist, or leader, or friend.” - Lori Neier
FAMILY DYNAMICS: "Damaris helped me through a stressful, disturbing life passage with an unconventional method of releasing fears and old memories and heartaches. She takes your hand through the hard parts, gets to know you VERY quickly, and feels like a friend in a very short time. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to move on in life without taking forever to feel better." - Charlotte Preston.
FROZEN SHOULDER SYNDROME
"I was at a conference last week and overheard one woman telling another about her 'frozen shoulder'. She said it had frozen up six months ago and she had just had a procedure done at great expense where doctors manipulated her shoulder while she was under general anesthetic. She had tried everything but nothing gave her relief. At this point I interrupted her, asked her if she had 15 minutes to spare and we walked off into a relatively quiet part of the hotel lobby. I asked her what was happening in her life when her shoulder "froze." After asking her about 5 questions it appeared that she had locked away into that shoulder, anger she felt she had no right to express. She started to cry and said her daughter enlisted in one of the armed forces and left right before Christmas leaving her two children for Mom and Dad to take care of. Her level of discomfort was a "10." I asked her to tap and start moving her shoulder and say..."Even though I am angry with my daughter for risking her life and leaving me with this burden, I deeply love and accept myself and all of my feelings. Even though I am supposed to be nice and cooperative and helpful and anger is NOT an acceptable emotion, I deeply and completely love and acknowledge my right to my feelings." She kept rotating her shoulder with increasing range of motion as she said, "I give myself permission to acknowledge and express my anger in an acceptable way - I have the right to be angry and to say so." We stopped there because we had limited time. She had recovered about 50% of her normal range of motion and her discomfort level fell to about a 2 or 3. All this within 15 minutes. - Dr. Drewry
INSOMNIA: I was sleeping 45 minutes to an hour and then coming wide awake; now I seem to be averaging 1 1/2 hours and the occasional 2 or 2 1/2 hour stretch! I've tried many therapies to no avail up until now - the key seems to be the tapping languaging you use. - Geoffrey Levens 2011
INSOMNIA/FEAR OF GOING TO BED AT NIGHT
Damaris, you are a very bright light! I wanted to thank you again for the work you did with me a few weeks ago and share a few thoughts on my experience of the process. Who you are and your connection to All That Is, is more powerful than anything else. You reminded my that my own intention was enough, if only I truly believed that. I took that as a challenge. For years I had made this same statement but had failed to really put it to the test. It was time now for me to 'put up or shut up.' I am happy to report that it's true, now from a place of experience and Knowing.
First, let me say you were very helpful in 'pulling the cork out of the bottle.' As you may recall, I was experiencing fear upon going to bed at night. I was so skeptical that I was on the verge of dismissing the entire session as a failure. The thing that tipped the scale in favor of awareness was you: During the session the higher part of you continued to speak directly to the higher part of me, while brushing aside (and refusing to engage) the drama I was delivering to you. The tipping point was the undeniable clarity and integrity with which you spoke, that ultimately resonated with the higher part of me. You were in essence, reminding me who I really am, reminding me of the truth of my being. It was as if you were giving me a hand up out of the swamp. And my task was not to continue to wallow in sorting out the drama, but to simply step out of it entirely. That is the choice I made.
Thank you - Brenda LeMay
LINEAGE CLEARING - FEMALE
I am so very grateful to you for your generous spirit and willingness to work with me on the lineage issues. I am stronger, I am confident, and I am proud of me. I've been trying to think of the words I could say that describe how much our work has helped me. I'm going to write impressions I feel, and you can certainly wordsmith and use them as needed. "Damaris embodies profound insight and understanding, far more than empathy. She is a generous soul willing to share the journey from the initial troubled soul searching to discovery and enlightenment, with knowledge, wisdom and humor." I found her to be powerful and steadfast in her ability to guide me in my work. She taught me how to explore, how to focus, how to clear my mind and energy and soul of those long-seated ideas and past hurts. Bringing them to the light of day empowered me to look at them, study them, acknowledge and release them. And now I am joyfully me." Rita Richardson
LOSS, GRIEF and DEPRESSION
I want to take this opportunity at the end of the year to give you thanks for the possibilities that you opened up for me in 2008. Your Beyond Talk Therapy opened the door for the many blessings that I received this past year. I came to you looking for physical healing, and received emotional and spiritual healing as well. Within the course of this year I have changed my perception, and that has changed my life. Many things that I thought were lost to me have been restored this year. Thank you - Priscilla Hawkins
NERVE DAMAGE IN ARM: “I suddenly noticed that I have no numbness in my arm and two fingers (that had nerve damage and were surgically "repaired") This is remarkable to me because, even though I did receive some relief from the surgical procedure, I continued to experience considerable and persistent discomfort. While there is still slight tingling and weakness, I would have to say that this is the closest to "normal" my arm and hand have felt in over five years. Wow. Thanks!” – Katherine C.
REPEATING RELATIONSHIP ISSUE: "I have been to see several therapists for many years for the same problem ....my unhappy relationships with men. I did not get clear on some of my issues, and still repeated the same patterns over and over. In my first session with Dr. Drewry I got to the core of the problem having to do with my father; I feel like I can finally begin to heal this life long pattern once and for all...... thank you, (6/2007) - Julie K.
SELF-ACTUALIZATION: "Words are insufficient to express the magnitude of the transformation that I've experienced with the help of Dr. Damaris Drewry. She helped uncover the love, intelligence, courage, and so many other wonderful things that are inside me, waiting to be expressed. She helped me find my way home to who I truly am. I'm filled with gratitude to Damaris. - C. Mossie/artist
SLEEP APNEA: One session resolution in June 2008. Steve is still free of apnea symptoms in February 2011!
Steve had sleep apnea for 38+ years:
"After only one session, I went home and slept without my c-pap machine for the first time in fifteen years. The insomnia problem was not solved as immediately but we have slowly erased that problem as well. I am now dedicated to sharing this news with others who suffer with sleep disorders. I also struggled with insomnia so my sleep patterns were not healthy, and we resolved those issues in two more sessions."
- Steve Klunk in Tucson Arizona (2.5 years later he is still free of sleep apnea)
CLIENT COMMENTS and TESTIMONIALS
are listed
alphabetically by subject
NOTE: Many clients experience cessation of symptoms of sleep apnea, chronic fatigue, allergies, depression, childhood abuse, and other difficult issues. This listing is intended to be educational. Similar results are expected but not guaranteed. EFT was used during a Beyond Talk Therapy session to help every person:
SLEEP APNEA: By the second session I no longer stopped breathing in my sleep. - M. R. in Tucson 2009
SLEEP APNEA: "After a follow-up sleep study the severity of my sleep apnea episodes dropped from severe to mild" - Larry Honig in Tucson 2010
PLEASE READ THIS:
"The body believes every word we say and records life events in our cellular memory! Unconscious decisions made during traumatic moments create programs running in the background of the body’s bio-computer that can be in conflict with our well-being.
Clearing cellular memory and reframing decisions made during traumatic events “defragments the body’s bio-computer” and makes true transformation possible in a very short time!
There is proof that our thoughts influence reality: According to Drs. Candace Pert and Bruce Lipton, DNA is influenced more by our environment and decisions about events that happen to us, than by genetics. This knowledge gives us hope to challenge the symptoms of “incurable” issues! Dis-ease can be an ally because it tells us what we need to change."
- Damaris Drewry, Ph.D.
SLEEP APNEA: My name is Dan Newman, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tucson, AZ. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea back in 1998. My first treatment was surgery - I had a “velopharyngeal plasti” procedure which was a surgical removal of my uvula and part of my palette. This was absolutely the most painful surgery I have ever experienced, and I’ve had several! That worked for 3 or 4 years, then I was back where I had started. Then the apnea returned, and I went to a CPAP machine, which stopped the physiological aspect of sleep apnea, but replaced it with the discomfort of trying to sleep with a gas mask attached to a tube, attached to a noisy machine that dried out my throat...I could go on, but the bottom line it was not a very comfortable solution. So I tried a “pure sleep” Mandibular advancement device, a plastic device that keeps my lower jaw jutting forward. The only problem is that I woke up with pain in my teeth and jaw, and my jaw still pops when I chew on my left side. So when my friend Damaris asked if I would be willing to see if a “Beyond Talk Therapy” session in which she uses EFT to address the “body’s bio-intelligence” could help my sleep apnea, I agreed, although somewhat cynically.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND SELF-ESTEEM: "Thank you for helping to open my mind to the possibility of being completely different, and for creating a safe space for me to acknowledge and accept my own traumas, whether or not I even remembered them. I may not have been consciously in my body long enough to see the rock, but I've been feeling the ripples all my life. I'm finding calmer waters now. Your reassuring and accepting presence and your intuitive use of energy medical techniques made a profound difference, and you gave me tools that I have used every day. – Terri
TRAUMA
" I had a telephone appointment with you sometime last autumn and I want to express my gratitude. Although we only spoke once, I want to let you know that that one appointment proved to be remarkable. I will remember you forever and I will highly recommend you if I come across someone who I feel would benefit from your services. You were able to hone in directly to what needed to be unfrozen in space and time and assist me in reintegrating that part of myself. You were very direct and I needed that." Rhonda
UTERINE CANCER
Christmas time, 2006: The physical history of this condition in my early fifties: hormone replacement therapy without enough progesterone to balance the estrogen had set up estrogen dominance in my body, evidenced by spotting. I did see a doctor and had a sonogram after about a year of this, but nothing conclusive showed up. The emotional history during the same timeframe was a series of situational crises in my life and relationships that created conflict, confusion and chaos (in my way of looking at the mind/body connection, these are the 3 "c" words that lead to cancer). On the Holmes and Rahe (1967) stress scale (divorce, moving, career change, death of a loved one, etc.) I was well over 600 where high risk was 300. In the 5 days between diagnosis and surgery I tapped for every possible thing I could think of that contributed to my body's extreme cry for help. I made commitments to myself to change my life to eliminate the conflicts, and KEPT them! Biopsies in the operating room showed there was no cancer left! - Dr. Drewry
VOCAL SELF-EMPOWERMENT: I've been having problems with my voice since childhood, faintness, no projection and fluctuations in strength. Just watched, following along, your video on transforming a group of non-singers into singers and followed along seeking frequencies that felt good to me. My voice, that I have not liked the sound of, sounded so good and so freed up and deep and resounding, broad in range and full of, I don't know what, maybe connection to my emotions, to the morphic field, I don't know. It brings tears to my eyes to think of this now. Thank you from my heart. I want to sing with your online choir again and again.
Love, Reg Moore

Well, It’s been over three weeks. I haven’t used my machine or my mouthpiece, and I’ve been sleeping like a baby. My girlfriend tells me I no longer snore, and she is absolutely thrilled with the new me. To say I’m intrigued with EFT is an understatement, and I’ve been watching the “Tapping world summit since day one. What has become very clear to me is that Dr. Drewry has developed a protocol that differs from what I’m hearing on the summit, and which actually makes more sense to me. I use EMDR extensively in my practice, and I know the power of trauma. Damaris found the trauma that caused my apnea, and she addressed it, and the results have been absolutely amazing. - March 2011
