What Is Thought Field Therapy Tapping TFT - Quays Clinic of Hypnotherapy

TFT

Dr. Roger Callahan, an American psychologist developed thought field therapy or TFT after he was inspired an acupuncture class he took. What is TFT you say? Thought field therapy is a fringe psychological treatment that is used to heal many different mental and physical disorders. The process is done with a special tapping movement performed with fingers at meridian points on the upper body and hands.

When developing this treatment Callahan came up with the concept that when someone thinks about an experience related to an emotional problem they go into a thought field. This field they have retreated to is the fundamental concept of thought field therapy. Roger has stated that the thought field “created an imaginary, though quite real scaffold, upon which we may erect our explanatory notion.”

What Are Perturbations?

Perturbations are encoded information that resides in this thought field. Every distortion of a person’s thought field is associated with a different problem and is motivated by thinking of the problem. Perturbation is what he believed are the origin of a negative emotions. He also believed that each negative emotion is associated with meridian points on the body. To element the negative emotion the meridian point must be “tapped.” He believes that this can relieve a good amount of psychological issues that include post traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, addictions, and phobias. These are just a few examples, there are plenty more. One of the first patients that Callahan tried this type of therapy on had a severe fear of water. He told her to tap lightly underneath her eye. After Mary did this she astoundingly and immediately saw a change in her phobia.

Thought Field Therapy

Many people are not sure about this type of therapy because of the lack of research and science to back it up. There have been just as many people that have tried this type of therapy and said that it has helped them. This type of tapping therapy might not be for everyone, and that’s okay. This type of therapy works very well with different types of phobias, and if you are at your wit’s end, it is definitely worth doing.

“Many patients that are battling Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can look at this as an alternative to medication or lots of therapy”
