What is Thought-Field Therapy?
About TFT
Discovered and developed by Dr. Roger Callahan PhD, a Californian clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience, Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a totally unique form of meridian therapy. It is best described as a natural, drug-free, non-invasive system to eliminate the cause of negative emotions. Quite simply the addressing of specific energy meridian points on the body in a precise and defined sequence, TFT has been shown to have an unprecedented success rate of up to 98%.
Now in its twenty-third year of development, TFT is probably the only therapy currently available for the treatment of psychological problems and emotional challenges that can genuinely claim to offer a cure.
Most individuals experience significant, usually complete, relief from their problem within a few minutes. No other treatment presently available, conventional, complementary nor alternative, can claim the same success, speed and completeness.
The key to this extraordinary success has been Dr. Callahan's discovery of the natural code that governs psychological problems, and an effective treatment for the phenomenon of Psychological Reversal - the tendency for some individuals to unconsciously self-sabotage their own recovery despite outwardly seeking to rid themselves of their problem.
- is extraordinarily powerful, in that individuals receive nearly immediate relief from their suffering.
- has no adverse side effects.
- does not require the individual to talk about their problem, something that often causes considerable distress or embarrassment and which discourages many from seeking treatment in the first place.
- is extremely efficient, treatment times of 10 minutes or less not uncommon.
Questions and Answers
Q: What is "Callahan Techniques" THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY?
A: THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY (TFT) is a simple and straightforward technique for resolving emotional and psychological issues. TFT utilises acupressure points which are activated by simply tapping them with the fingertips while thinking about a specific problem. This process has the capability of disabling and often completely eliminating troublesome emotional and physical responses
Q: How will TFT help me?
A: We believe TFT is the most effective psychotherapy ever discovered or devised. Time after time, it has proven to be extremely successful in treating FEARS, PHOBIAS, ANXIETY, TRAUMA (PTSD), CRAVINGS (OCD), STRESS, ANGER and many other emotional problems that can be life limiting, stifle personal performance or enjoyment, and act as barriers to healing.
Q: Is TFT related in any way to hypnosis?
A: No. There is no relationship or similarity between hypnosis and TFT. With TFT, belief is NOT necessary for the therapy to work. TFT has repeatedly surprised dubious skeptics who did not "believe in" TFT. These former skeptics found that TFT worked without their personal belief in it, just as antibiotics do not depend upon the belief of the person taking them in order to be effective. With TFT, belief does not enter the process.
Q: What happens during a TFT treatment?
A: The therapist either taps, or instructs the client to tap a series of pre-determined points on the body in a precise order. This is done while the client thinks of the problem. Typically, a significant reduction of the problem results.
Q: Is TFT compatible with other types of therapies?
A: YES. Thought Field Therapy is a great addition to any therapeutic plan or regime and also functions well as a stand alone therapy.
Q: How effective is TFT?
A: TFT is NOT a "band-aid" therapy. It offers REAL, MEASURABLE, and often PERMANENT relief from a wide variety of problems. It has been referred to as "The Power Therapy of the 21st Century" because of its high degree of effectiveness. Many of the most common phobias and fears can be completely eliminated in five minutes or less! That is not to say that every problem responds as quickly. Some problems require repeated treatments and corresponding shifts in lifestyle. However, most clients experience a significant improvement of the problem with the very first session.
Q: What if the problem comes back?
A: Occasionally, a problem that has yielded successfully to treatment will recur. If this should happen, call your therapist. Not only will your therapist be able to successfully treat the problem again, but will also be able to start the process of determining why it returned. Once the correct reason has been determined, it is often a simple matter to eliminate it permanently.
Q: How do I know that my therapist is qualified to use TFT with me?
A: Your therapist is a member of the British Thought Field Therapy Association (Assoc), and the Association for Thought Field Therapy, and should display a certificate signed by an ATFT approved trainer (Thornton Therapy approved ATFT trainer Kevin Laye). ATFT is a worldwide organisation of therapists who have been well-trained in the use of this dynamic and highly successful therapy.
