What is Thought Field Therapy?
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a natural, non-invasive system to eliminate the cause of negative emotions. Dr. Roger Callahan, an American clinical psychologist, developed this unique, therapeutic technique in the early 80s. TFT is the only method of treatment that can claim to offer a cure for many psychological and emotional conditions.
What Are The Uses For TFT?
TFT is used for a variety of imbalances; both mental and physical. In the physical realm, it is widely believed that TFT can effectively prevent heart related maladies such as atrial fibrillation and even such diseases as malaria. Victims of psychological and emotional trauma are said to begin the usually difficult process of healing within a matter of minutes. Traditionally, TFT is used to treat posttraumatic stress disorder, depression and emotional disorders caused by childhood trauma or abuse.
How Does It Work?
When we think about a former or present crisis, we create a 'thought field'. If that though field contains perturbations, a person will feel as if they are actually in that situation. For instance, if a person that is afraid of spiders begins to sweat and panic with only the thought of spiders, that is an inappropriate response. This indicates that there is a blockage in the energy field that needs to be eliminated. TFT utilizes the body's natural healing mechanisms to balance energy and eliminate negative emotions. It does so by addressing specific meridian points, or energy points. The energy flow along the meridian points become blocked, thereby causing physical ailments or the mind's inability to heal from past trauma or negative emotions. By tapping these points in the upper body and hands in a precise and specific sequence, that energy flow can be restored. Once the energy flow is unblocked, it is able to flow freely as nature intended. When the body's energy is free flowing, the body will begin to heal itself physically and negative emotions are released and eliminated.
How Effective Is TFT?
According to Dr. Callahan's records, TFT has an astounding success rate of 98%. TFT became the treatment method of choice for those affected by war trauma by the Chief of medical staff in Kosovo, Yugoslavia in 2001. The already phenomenal success of TFT is enhanced by the fact that it is a drug free treatment method so there are no unhealthy side effects.
What Can Clients expect During a Treatment Session?
Unlike the mainstream therapy session, the TFT client does not have to talk about their problems or reveal uncomfortable and often embarrassing information. The client/patient is asked only to think about the problem, phobia, or trauma. Then they are asked to rate their feelings on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 representing feelings of maximum distress. Next the client/patient will be shown a sequence of tapping which they will do on their own body. No one will touch them, no needles or other instruments are used, and no drugs. They are shown the precise technique and points to tap and the order in which to tap. Most sessions last less than a half hour.
How Long Does The 'TFT Cure' Last?
The first recorded case in using TFT was an effort to cure hydrophobia in a young lady named Mary. That was 30 years ago, Mary is still hydrophobia free.
