Combining Western psychotherapy and Eastern medicine’s meridian therapy, Thought Field Therapy protocols engage the right and the left brain to move the energy of traumas, fears, phobias and anxieties out of the body, miraculously fast!
Can you imagine an energetic technique for healing deep-seated emotional pain, fears, phobias, and life long negative habits, in a matter of minutes? Not only does such a technique exist, but it can be taught to patients, so that they can use it whenever the need arises.
It was psychologist Roger Callahan who developed the therapeutic specialty he called Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Derived from ancient Chinese theories on bioenergies, TFT combines Western therapeutic cognitive approaches with Eastern accupressure techniques. TFT is based on the premise that energy, thoughts, emotions and the body are interrelated and operate as an intelligent and fully communicating system. Emotions are believed to result from the influence of electromagnetic energy, created by our thoughts and the electrical and chemical changes that occur within the body when we experience emotions.
Psychologists Peter Lambrou and George Pratt have expanded upon Thought Field Therapy. Their research and experience with over 6,000 patients achieved a 95% success rate in rapidly relieving acute and chronic psychological problems.
TFT works by unblocking trapped emotional feedback patterns within the energetic system. This is accomplished through a specific set of protocols that stimulate acupoints associated with the emotions. By tapping relevant acupoints and simultaneously envisioning one’s emotional problems, the mind/body is able to clear away energy blockages. This allows trapped emotions to flow freely, while restoring physical, emotional and mental balance.
The fact that we are energetic beings gives us polarities; magnetic fields that can sometimes become reversed, preventing healing. In one study, 80% of breast cancer patients had reversed polarities. Thus, underlying the healing intentions (thoughts) of many people are attitudes and conflicts that sabotage their improvement. I have often found, in people that have failed to heal, death wishes, or unconscious desires to be punished, for unforgivable transgressions. When these hidden conflicts are exposed, and resolved, healing can proceed.
Changing Randall’s Thought Field
Randall was a commercial airline pilot, who loved his career. While on vacation with his wife, he began to experience a sense of dread and foreboding. Unable to understand the cause of his feelings, he became distant and upset. It was then he received telephone call informing him that his 15 year old daughter had been in a very serious auto accident. He and his wife immediately returned to Chicago, arriving at the hospital only to learn that their beloved daughter has died 15 minutes before. The shock and pain of this loss overwhelmed Randall, and his grief was inconsolable. His grief and his mourning lasted far beyond the funeral. He would spontaneously begin to cry at inappropriate times. He sensed that he was losing control, but the extent of his impairment became obvious when he tried to return to work. Randall, upon entering his aircraft, began to panic, feeling trapped. He was sweating profusely, having heart palpitations, and was unable to remain on board.
A string of visits to doctors and therapists followed, some that prescribed drugs, or offered counseling, and others considered hospitalization. Neither tranquilizers, antidepressants, nor talk therapy provided relief. Randall’s job was at stake, his marriage strained, and his hold on reality was slipping. He learned how to survive, so that he didn’t have to be hospitalized, but had to be given disability leave from his work.
Over a year after his daughter’s death, Randall sought my help. As he told me his story, the agony on his face was painful to observe: the lines of suffering were deeply etched in his face. When I asked him to visualize the cause of his grief, his pain seemed unbearable. I then instructed him to tap specific acupoints while continuing to visualize the loss of his daughter. Within 5 minutes, his facial expression was transmuted from the agony distorted features; first a softening and relaxation of the lines, then bewilderment, and then joy, as his pain seemed to dissolve. This was the first relief from mourning for Randall in over a year! Randall smiled radiantly and said, ‘this is bizarre, but I feel great” I replied, “Randall, it is bizarre, but what you are likely to find, is that your relief will be permanent. The worst that can happen, is we would need to repeat this protocol.” Randall then said, ” I know this sounds crazy, but it feels like my daughter is right here with us, laughing happily.”
When I last heard from Randall, he was once again flying high!
