Lucy*, an alternative health care provider came forward. This middle-aged lady had a life-long phobia of water. Never before had she been able to immerse in or even sprinkle her face with water. While Lucy’s water phobia seemed rather simple, from a TFT point of view (no related trauma, no other phobias or anxieties), I felt compelled to have a back-up plan, just in case the simple phobia algorithm could not eliminate her severe fear. Therefore, I contacted Dr. Roger Callahan, Discoverer and Founder of Thought Field Therapy, asking him to be on stand-by with Thought Field Therapy Voice Technology (TFT VT) for the duration of the radio show. Dr. Callahan generously agreed – a favor I later came to appreciate a lot!
Twenty minutes into the pleasant interview on the “Health First Show”, the host brought in Lucy. She briefly described her phobia and its symptoms. Just thinking of water while sitting in the safety of the radio studio, Lucy reported her Subjective Unit of Distress (SUD) to be a 9 (on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being worst). Her agitation was visible.
I showed Lucy how to activate the pertinent acupressure points on her body and guided her through the algorithm protocol. Very soon, it became clear to me that we were probably not going to see the typical, dramatic reduction in SUD that we usually expect with TFT. After a few minutes of treatment, her SUD only came down to a 5.
It was at that point that I asked the host to put on some music and I reached for my cell phone to call Dr. Callahan to get the much needed VT support. As soon as Dr. Callahan had Lucy on the phone, he identified the correct sequence of points she needed to activate in order to eliminate her water phobia. Lucy tapped these three points, added some Collarbone Breathing and a Floor-to-Ceiling Eye Roll and her SUD was a 0. “I can actually see myself putting my face in the water now, and enjoying it, too!” Lucy said at that point smilingly. “I will go to the pool and try it out right away” (see note below).
The speed and accuracy of TFT Voice Technology was phenomenal and much needed. Literally instantly, in less than a second, Dr. Callahan was able to give my client the complete and correct sequence of treatment points needed for the elimination of her life-long, debilitating phobia. From start to finish, the whole treatment, including scrambling for the telephone and phone number, took only 8 minutes of air time.
I am truly indebted to Dr. Callahan not only for “saving my bacon” on this live radio show, but also for discovering and sharing with the world this wonder-full gift of Thought Field Therapy which I see transforming lives on a daily basis.
