Thought Field Therapy (TFT) has been described as “THE Power Therapy of the 21st Century” it has been developed over the past thirty years by Dr Roger Callahan - a clinical psychologist, out of learning from thousands of patients with a wide range of emotional, psychological and more recently physical problems.

It utilises the energy meridians, (similar to acupuncture), but there are no needles and no pain.  Dr Callahan also developed some of the ideas in Applied Kinesiology and some other learnings from Chiropractic medicine to create a totally innovative, gentle and rapid therapy which helps people detach the feelings about an event from the memory of the event by collapsing perturbations in the Thought Field.  Further information is available in a brief article on this other website.

You may have heard of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).  This is a model which developed out of TFT, a kind of ‘breakaway’ movement. it can be effective, but my own view is that TFT is more powerful as it’s more specifically targeted and can therefore help a greater range of people. TFT is probably better for more complex cases.   TFT may not have as high a profile as EFT, but that more down to marketing than anything else. 

What happens in a session?

I will ask you to think about your problem and give me a rating on a scale of 1-10 as to how troubling or distressing this problem is for you.  I will then work out with you a specific series of tapping sequence which you will do whilst continuing to think of this problem. 

There is no need to tell me all about your particular issue or concern.  I understand some traumatic events are difficult to recount and this may be upsetting for you.  All I need is for you to describe the kind of emotion you experience e.g. trauma, anxiety, phobia, fear etc and I can work from there.

I know this can sound strange and implausible and that you may not believe that simply tapping will work.  The great thing is, you don’t need to believe in it for it to work. 

We just diagnose the right sequence and TFT will either work, pretty rapidly or it will do nothing.  It’s rare that it will do nothing and at my level of training TFT is effective with about 90% of problems. 

If I am unable to help you at all, I will refund your fee and I do have access to a couple of very highly trained TFT therapists who are very likely to be able to resolve things over the telephone and I can refer you to them. 

What have you got to lose?

“OK, so it works but how long will it last?”

This is a question rarely asked in conventional therapy because in conventional therapy the problem may not ‘go away.’  In TFT it usually does, and it stays away.  If the problem comes back this is likely to do with what we call Individual Energy Toxins.  These can be diagnosed and treated and the original treatment can then be re-administered and the problem will usually be resolved.  It is therefore very important that you get back to me if you find the same problem returns.  

You may of course find a new problem emerging which may have been suppressed or out of your awareness before this first issue got sorted.  If this happens we can treat this too!
