How to Tap Into the Power Within 5

…For Outward Abundance

At some stage of development, everyone does a little research. Here is a helping hand.

Step Five

By now, perhaps you have explored and done a little of your own research into “tapping” – apparently the “grand-daddy” of EFT is TFT and discovered or formulated by Roger Callahan, Ph.D.

The following is copied off his website. I have been given a different approach which is working wonders for me …in Step Three, I promised to share what happened to me in Step Four (after my phone conversation with Ryan Bruce which brought about “my” wonder-working “different approach”) and which promise I broke and now I’m putting it off one more time, until Step Six, because Callahan’s approach has so many people with doctorate letters after their names sharing what TFT has meant in their professional settings and which lend enormous credibility; and it also provides historical perspective – and, finally, and most importantly, it is because it is what I’ve feel led to do:

1. What is Thought Field Therapy® (TFT)?
Tapping Into Nature’s Healing System

Over 30 Years in Development – Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is the procedure that provides a code to nature’s healing system, when applied to problems, addresses their fundamental causes, balancing the body’s energy system and allowing you to eliminate most negative emotions within minutes.

This Code is elicited through TFT’s unique assessment procedures.

“When I observe a number of suffering patients who did not respond to our usual treatment modalities, suddenly get better after TFT algorithms are given, I don’t need a double-blind controlled study to tell me the value of TFT” …James McKoy, MD Chief, Pain Clinic, Chief Rheumatology Service Assistant Chief, Neuroscience Department, Kaiser Permanente, Hawaii region

“The power and beauty of TFT VT is truly awesome. Even though I have experienced it time and again I am constantly amazed at the healing that takes place through TFT in areas that other therapies could hardly effect at all, much less with the speed and thoroughness of TFT. I believe that nothing so powerful, effective, predictable, and reproducible has ever taken place in healing and self-development.” ….Mary L. Cowley, PhD, TFT VT Thought Field Therapy by Voice Carlsbad, CA

2. Why should I want to learn TFT?
  • Brief self-help with rapid, measurable results
  • High success with most problems or negative emotions
  • Works with any age from very young children to the elderly
  • Effective help without the pain or retraumatization or reliving of past problems
3. Who can use and learn TFT?
Parents • Counselors • Clergy • Educators • Employers • Business executives • Policemen & Firemen • Massage Therapists Healthcare professionals • Social Workers • Traders/Brokers • And anyone in a high stress environment
4. What do professionals say about TFT?
“One of the most effective and most powerful for quick clinical relief and help – and the idea of psychological reversal is one of the major discoveries in psychology?”
...Gary Emery, Ph.D., co-author, “Anxiety Disorders and Phobias: A Cognitive Perspective.

“I have recommended and used Dr. Callahan’s Five Minute Phobia Cure in my Self-Esteem seminars for many years. Now, his new Stop the Nightmares of Trauma provides us with a simple, self-help technique for past traumas. This revolutionary approach brings us one giant step closer to reducing the suffering of trauma victims throughout the world.”
…Jack Canfield, Co-Author, “Chicken Soup for the Soul®” Series

“If it had been a horse race, which the investigators as well as the innovators were all at pains to deny, the TFT contingent would have won, hands down. Requiring virtually nothing in the way of personal interaction, TFT can bypass all that tedious therapeutic business of joining, empathy, history taking, reprocessing and the like, and zero in on the problem immediately at hand. With 10-minute treatments not at all unusual?”
…Mary Sykes Wylie, Ph.D., Senior Editor, “The Family Therapy Networker, July/Aug, 1996.”

“For 25 years I have treated American war veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have witnessed gallant efforts to keep a job, be members of a family, overcome homelessness and resist the temptation of suicide… I am very grateful to Dr. Callahan for his discovery of Thought Field Therapy. For too long a time, my patients and I have yearned for something like this. In my opinion, this gentle action technique is easily the best approach to thorough and enduring relief from this crippling psychological disorder.”
…Carl Johnson, PhD, Diplomate in Clinical Psychology, American Board of Professional Psychology, Program for Homeless Veterans, Martinsburg, West Virginia

“I have been trained in a traditional medical, psychiatric, psychoanalytic and psychopharmacological model and I can state clearly – If I had only one therapy to use it would be Callahan Techniques® Thought Field Therapy. It’s the best therapy in history!”
…Luanne Ruona, MD, Director, Center for Holistic Therapy, Washington, DC and Alexandria, VA

“This (training) was a pinnacle for me. It expanded, reviewed and integrated what I had already learned and provided many new things for me to learn”
…Rita Weinberg, PhD, Professor of Psychology at National-Louis University, Wheeling Campus, Wheeling, Illinois

“TFT is not just the most powerful tool in traumatic stress reduction; IT SAVES LIVES. I have used TFT to intervene with a suicidal client and it worked. Thank you Dr. Callahan for sharing this with the world.”
…Bruce Ramsay, CTR, CISM, Program Director, First Nations? Emergency Services Society of B.C.

A Study On Thought Field Therapy®

Thanks to the help of colleagues all over the world, we were able to find four approaches that appeared to hold great promise for reaching our goal. We were so impressed with them that we invited the innovators of these approaches to our clinical laboratory for a week to participate in our systematic clinical demonstration study.

The primary purpose of their visit was to treat our clients, while meeting with our Tallahassee clinical practitioner colleagues prior to and following their work here.

The Four approaches we studied were:

  • Traumatic Incident Reduction,
  • Visual Kinaesthetic Dissociation,
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMD),
  • and Thought Field Therapy (TFT).

I would like to tell you about one of the four approaches. I do this not because we are suggesting that it is better than any other approach. All four of the approaches we investigated generated impressive results.

TFT stood out from all other approaches of which I am aware because of five reasons:

1. It is extraordinarily powerful, in that clients receive nearly immediate relief from their suffering and the treatment appears to be permanent.

2. It can be taught to nearly anyone so that clients can not only treat themselves, but treat others affected.

3. It appears to do no harm.

4. It does not require the client to talk about their troubles, something that often causes more emotional pain and discourages many for seeking treatment.

5. It is extremely efficient (fast and long-lasting).
