Is it Really Possible to Get Rid of

Problems by "Tapping"?

You may have seen it on TV, You Tube, or even in your neighbourhood – people tapping on their body in order to rid themselves of emotional and physical pain. Does this make sense? No.

Does it work? YES, you bet!

This fascinating phenomenon of being able to eliminate (not just manage) negative emotions by tapping certain acupuncture points was discovered well over 30 years ago by the renowned psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan. What started then as a treatment for a severe water phobia has now blossomed into an entirely new field of research known as Energy Psychology. Enthusiastic practitioners can now be found around the globe. At the heart of it all is Dr. Roger Callahan and what we now know as Thought Field Therapy, or TFT for short.

TFT offers a new, exciting, revolutionary way of how we can help individuals - and entire populations - who suffer from trauma, anxiety, fear and depression. TFT is a natural, gentle, no fuss, rapid response therapy that can bring about almost immediate relief from emotional distress without re-traumatizing the client. Moreover, anyone, young and old, can learn how to do this in just a short training and celebrate a solid 80% success rate in eliminating phobias, stress, grief, anger, guilt and trauma.

Here just a few examples of how TFT is now used around the globe:

• These techniques are so effective and robust that TFT is now the national trauma program in Kosovo.
• Virgin Atlantic has a “Flying Without Fear Program” in which they teach their passengers not only how to get rid of their fear of flying, but also how to get to their destination without the jet lag (thanks to TFT of course).
• In a Rwandan orphanage of over 450 genocide survivors the occurrence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was reduced from 100% to a mere 5% after the children were introduced to TFT. (A follow up session was held with the remaining 5% so these children too could be free from trauma.)
• In British Columbia, TFT has been used to help survivors of Residential Schools to overcome their generational trauma.

As you can probably imagine there is nothing more gratifying and motivating that being able to bring back smiles and seeing eyes filled again with hope, trust and love. The only thing better than witnessing such a magical transformation, is experiencing it yourself.
