THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY (TFT)

The power therapy for the 21st Century
 

  • TFT is extraordinarily powerful, with individuals receiving nearly immediate relief from their suffering.

  • TFT has no adverse side effects

  • TFT does not require the client to talk about their problem - something which often causes distress or embarrassment, and prevents the person from seeking treatment in the first place.

  • TFT is extremely efficient and treatment times of 10 minutes or less are not uncommon.

TFT has recently been officially recognised as the treatment of choice for post traumatic stress in Kosovo.

“We referred our most difficult trauma patients to the Professor (Carl Johnson). The success rate from TFT was 100% for every patient and they are still smiling today.” Dr Shkelzen Syla, Medical Chief of Staff, Kosovo

WHAT IS THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY?

Over 20 years in development, TFT is a technique for the rapid elimination of all types of emotional distress. It has been described as a procedure that provides a code to nature’s healing system, when applied to problems - addressing their fundamental causes, balancing the body’s energy system and often allowing the elimination of negative emotions within minutes.

It works rather like acupuncture by stimulating the body’s energy meridians. But is a much simpler process, with the client simply finger tapping on various points on the face, hands and upper body for a few moments. It is simple, painless and is done fully clothed by the client themself. The results are frequently amazing, and emotional problems can disappear in minutes.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

TFT is based on a new theory about how negative emotions (including phobias and traumas) develop. Conventional medicine assumes that the mind and brain are the same thing, and that emotional problems such as anxiety and depression are caused by a structural or chemical abnormalities in the brain, which can only be corrected by drugs.

For decades, however, there has been an alternative view that the mind and brain are separate. TFT founder, Dr Roger Callahan, believes that the mind is contained in a field which surrounds the physical body. He belives that when we think of anything we ‘tune in’ to an individual ‘thought field’. When we feel distressed, there is a ‘perturbation’ in the thought field and that triggers the distress.

By tapping on specific sequences of meridian points on the body, the perturbations are eliminated and the distress disappears. It is rather like discovering the key to a combination lock controlling negative emotions and turning them off.

HOW WAS TFT DISCOVERED?

TFT was invented and developed by Dr Roger Callahan, one of American’s most distinguished and experienced clinical psychologists. He was unhappy with the results for conventional therapies and became interested in Applied Kinesiology, involving the body’s energy meridians.

The first person to experience the amazing results of TFT was Mary, who had an extreme phobia of water. Dr Callahan had treated her for 18 months using conventional techniques, without success. One day she said she felt “sick to the stomach”’. He knew of a stomach meridian point under the eye and, when this point was tapped, Mary’s life-time phobia promptly vanished – they were both amazed. The phobia has stayed away to this day.

 Callahan repeated this technique with other phobia sufferers and found it worked only on some patients. However, he knew he had discovered something important and years of research, experimentation and development resulted in TFT.

WHAT IS TFT USED FOR?

Dr Callahan discovered that most emotional problems could be cured by tapping on the correct parts of the body in the right sequence. These include phobias, traumas, anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, panic attacks, jealously, grief, anger,pain and numerous addictive urges including alcohol and tobacco. It is now also used to overcome performance barriers in business, sales, sport and the arts.

Other problems which were previously hard to treat can also be addressed – such as jet lag and problems with visualising.

New uses for TFT are being discovered all the time. TFT’s benefits can be seen by patients using Heart Rate Variability monitors, and some patients with post viral fatigue, MS and ADHD have seen improvement.
