#22 – THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY

The Adventure – Learning Thought Field Therapy (TFT)

Thought Field Therapy, or TFT, is considered to be a type of fringe therapy developed by the psychologist, Roger Callahan. By tapping on certain meridian points on the hands and upper body, it is reported to heal (and even resolve) mental and physical ailments.

The terminology ‘thought’ was derived from the theory that when a person thinks about a particular experience associated with an emotional or physical ailment, they are tuning in to a thought field – much like tuning in to a radio station. Within the ‘thought field’ (energy field) is information patterns – or perturbations – which can result in mental disquietude.

By tapping on the meridian points specific to the perturbation, the associated emotions can be switched off, thus releasing the emotions tied to the root cause. The memory may still be there, but they are no longer negatively impacted.

And as luck would have it, I randomly came across TFT while watching a documentary film with a friend. A few weeks later, I found a trainer in Canada and flew there to take the training program.

TFT Therapy is Used for:

Trauma relief like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Elimination of fears, anxiety and stress.
Ease feelings of depression.
Phobias and compulsions.
Successful weight loss or smoking cessation.
