One day he heard Mary say that she felt "sick to the stomach". Dr Callahan had treated her for eighteen months using conventional techniques, but without success. The first person to experience what later became known as TFT was a woman called Mary, who had an extreme phobia of water. He investigated many different approaches and found that the body’s energy system could be used to resolve psychological issues. He was dissatisfied with conventional therapy techniques, which he believed were time consuming and often ineffective. TFT was developed twenty years ago by Dr Roger Callahan, a distinguished American clinical psychologist. By tapping on specific sequences of meridian points the perturbations can be eliminated and the distress disappears. Dr Callahan suggests that whenever we think of anything we 'tune in' to an individual 'thought field' and when we feel distressed, there is a disruption or 'perturbation' in the thought field that triggers the distress. TFT is based on a different model of how negative emotions (including phobias) develop. A TFT practitioner is often able to help you to identify what has led to the return of the problem. If the symptoms return, this often indicates exposure to something that has affected your energy system and either prevented the TFT from working, or reactivated the perturbation in the thought field. Chronic problems may take longer and require some ‘detective’ work to find out the best way of dealing with them. Simple phobias, for example, can often be completely resolved. When you tap the appropriate sequence of meridian points the problem may disappear and stay away permanently. The success rate of TFT depends on the experience and competence of the practitioner and the complexity of the problem. TFT is simple, painless and is done fully clothed! The results are frequently amazing as emotional problems can start to disappear in minutes. (There are only three points on the body - on the collarbone, under the arm and on a rib). You can do TFT for yourself by tapping with your fingertips on specific sequences of meridian points on the face, hands and upper body. It uses the same energy meridians as acupressure, but is a much simpler process. Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a new method for the rapid relief of all kinds of emotional and psychological distress.
