What is Thought Field Therapy?

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a technique for the rapid relief of all kinds of emotional distress.   It works rather like acupuncture by stimulating the body's energy meridians to resolve problems with the body's emotional control system.   However no needles are used.   Instead the patient taps on various parts of the body with their fingers.   The results are frequently amazing as emotional problems often disappear in minutes.

What can it be used for?

TFT was originally developed as a treatment for phobias and traumatic stress. Further research has meant that it can now be used to treat a wide variety of problems including stress and anxiety, panic attacks, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, grief, acute trauma and PTSD, anger, guilt, pain, sexual problems, addictions (including food, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, nail-biting, etc.) and much more.

The first patient treated with what we now know as TFT was a middle-aged lady called Mary, who had a severe phobia of water.

Dr Callahan had treated Mary for 18 months without much success using conventional methods. One day, with little or nothing conventional left to offer, he experimented with his newly found technique. He knew Mary had described her fear as being felt in the stomach, and he also knew that the stomach meridian began under the eyes. So he simply tried finger tapping under Mary's eyes.   Her phobia promptly vanished and has stayed away to this day.

Dr. Callahan soon discovered that this simple treatment was ineffective with most other patients but the success rate steadily increased as a result of years of research and experimentation.   The end-product was what we now know as Callahan Techniques ® Thought Field Therapy, or TFT for short.
