But the technique still works, even if the explanation behind does not make sense in today’s scientific view of the world. Now this explanation does not make much sense in today’s world.
So they used terms like energy and the 5 elements, earth, fire, water, wood, metal to explain how acupuncture worked. They found that this particular technique worked, and so they subsequently explained it in terms of what made sense to them at the time, five thousand years ago. Now the Chinese were very observant of what actually worked. His answer was that acupuncture originated from the China about five thousand years ago. Anyway, I remember asking the medical director in charge of the centre why they used acupuncture. Back in 1993 alternative medicine was not widely accepted by mainstream conventional medicine. One of the techniques they used was acupuncture. They used many different techniques to help patients with intractable chronic pain. When I was a 4 th year medical student back in 1993, I did a 4 week placement at a world renowned chronic pain management centre in Liverpool, UK. The explanation I give to my patients as to how it works is different to the above explanation.īut before we get to my explanation of how thought field therapy works, I would like to share a little story with you. The collapse of a perturbation resolves the negative emotion or trauma. And by tapping on certain energy points, these perturbations collapse. It particularly has a concept that negative emotions and traumas are represented by ‘perturbations’ in the ‘field’ around us. The explanation goes along the lines of correcting ‘energy’ blockages by tapping on meridian lines on our body. But the explanation does not fit with a scientific, mainstream medicine, conventional view of the world. Now the explanation might be completely true, I don’t know. One of the failings, in my view, for the acceptance of thought field therapy TFT, is the explanation as to how it works. It works well for other things like stress, fear, phobias, emotional traumas and so on. It works well for anxiety, both mild and severe. Or you might think how could that possibly help me? I would say those are reasonable initial thoughts.īut it does work. The technique is to tap on acupuncture points on your body in a particular sequence. However, it does not fit with our conventional way of thinking and expectations. It is quick, and provides lasting results. Thought field therapy TFT, is simple, yet very effective. Each tapping sequence corresponds to particular conditions like anxiety, stress, fear, other negative emotions, cravings, phobias and traumatic events. Dr Roger Callahan, and his patient, were both amazed by the result.ĭr Roger Callahan subsequently developed various tapping sequences over the following months and years. She was dramatically cured! Her water phobia had gone.
He then had the idea of tapping on one specific acupuncture point which related to where she felt the phobia symptoms in her body. After many months of conventional psychological approaches, like systematic desensitisation and cognitive behavioural techniques, there was no progress. Dr Roger Callahan was treating a lady with a water phobia. He used concepts from acupuncture and applied kinesiology to develop what he called Thought Field Therapy TFT. However, he was always searching for a quicker and more effective way of getting results for his patients. He has a background in conventional psychology. The person who created thought field therapy TFT is a doctor of psychology in the United States.
