The placebo effect accounts for one third of positive medical outcomes, proving your mind has tremendous power to influence treatment success
Research shows placebo effect accounts for about one-third of positive results in any medicine or medical procedure, according to EFT expert Ben Schwartz
Unhealed miscarriage trauma creates fear that haunts future conception attempts, shutting down hormones and affecting the body's ability to relax and conceive
Ben Schwartz explains that miscarriages are traumas that nobody recovers from without emotional healing, and unresolved trauma creates stress that affects fertility physiology
EFT tapping works by focusing on disturbing emotions while tapping acupressure points to desensitize trauma responses and neutralize emotional charge
Ben Schwartz demonstrates specific tapping points from side of hand to top of head, eyebrow, corner of eye, under nose, chin, collarbone and under arm while verbalizing negative emotions
Your unconscious mind accounts for at least 90% of what influences you, which is why conscious willpower alone can't overcome self-sabotage patterns
Ben Schwartz explains that unconscious forces create tremendous stress in the body that you don't realize, and conscious mind is only a small fraction of what steers your decisions
Perfectionism is a known factor that works against fertility success - the more you try to do everything perfectly, the more you sabotage yourself
Ben Schwartz confirms perfectionist tendencies are very common with fertility issues and explains that unlike other life areas, conception requires surrendering and letting go rather than controlling
Stressed wildlife populations stop reproducing when humans encroach on their territory, proving stress directly impacts fertility across species
Ben Schwartz explains that wildlife biologists observe animal populations dropping when stressed by human encroachment, hunting increases, or resource scarcity

Ben Schwartz demonstrates tapping technique saying 'I feel hopeless' and 'frustrated with my body' rather than positive statements, explaining this releases trapped emotions
If you aren't working on the mind piece of fertility, you have a gaping hole in your strategy regardless of how healthy your diet is
Rosanne Austin explains that eating kale won't help if you're quietly sabotaging yourself, and emphasizes mind-body work as essential for complete fertility strategy
