To each his own, but I think that all therapy types, especially those with a basis in Eastern medicine have value and should be considered. They are told this because a positive outlook and belief that a treatment is going to work is actually effective. If that wasn't the case, doctors would not be advising cancer patients to stay positive. And sometimes, belief plays a big role in how much people benefit from certain treatments. Some treatment methods like acupuncture believe that just as the mind controls parts of the body, the mind can also be controlled by stimulating certain parts of the body. I don't think this is a good argument because even if the benefits are due to a placebo effect, this doesn't change the fact that it helps people. Some are against this therapy saying that the positive effects of the therapy are due to a placebo effect. My sister believes it was the therapy and she does recommend it to others.Īpril 27, I don't think that thought field therapy should be discounted so easily. I should say however that she was also on medications at the time, so we do wonder whether it was the therapy or the medications that helped. Thought field therapy helped, she is more calm and happy now. She was depressed and was suffering from anxiety attacks. “What’s fascinating about TFT is it’s quick, painless and it’s success rate is almost unheard of in the field of mental health in any type of treatment over this whole century.” Shad Meshad, President, National Veterans Foundation & Founder and Author of the National Vet Center Program.My sister went to thought field therapy after her husband died. Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is indeed a highly effective, drug-free and non-invasive method for eliminating fears, anxiety, trauma and stress within minutes. Clearly, TFT heals at a most fundamental level, and it happens almost instantaneously. We use Heart Rate Variability to measure changes in one’s overall state of health and monitor efficacy of treatment. Thanks to new research using technology that can monitor the body’s autonomic nervous system, we can now scientifically measure and quantify the systemic changes that TFT produces. The key to the treatment is influencing the body’s bioenergy field by tapping with your fingers on specific points on the body located along energy meridians, while tuned into the specific thought field. It has become apparent that the same process also occurs for many physical symptoms. The active information in this thought field creates the distress by disrupting the body’s internal energy flow, causing upheaval that sabotages your emotional well-being. These negative feelings are condensed information in energy form, bound in what he calls a “thought field”. Callahan began working with negative emotions–phobias, anger, guilt, grief, trauma, addictions, depression, etc. TFT is a system that accesses and resolves the essence and the root cause of a problem within the whole human system, be it emotional, mental, physical, and/or spiritual. Callahan continues to develop and improve the TFT protocol. With a passionate commitment to science and healing, Dr. Since its discovery as the Callahan Techniques 30 years ago, it has spawned numerous offshoots within the field of energy psychology and brief therapies. The therapeutic process itself is completely unique, as is the scientific foundation on which it is based and the unprecedented results it produces. Thought Field Therapy (originally known as the Callahan Techniques) is different from other psychological treatments. It was through this journey that TFT was born. Callahan continued to explore innovative therapies. Passionate to find an ever more powerful approach, Dr. Callahan’s background was in conventional psychotherapy, he explored new approaches to healing that might more effectively help his clients, and was a pioneer in cognitive therapy and clinical hypnotherapy. He has served as President of the American Academy of Psychologists in Marital and Family Therapy. in clinical psychology at Syracuse University and was Associate Professor and Director of Psychological Services and Research at Eastern Michigan University before entering private practice.
