TFT is a rapid method to quickly

eliminate negative emotions:

Anger Embarrassment

Anxiety
Phobias
Rage
Addictive
Fear Urge
Traumas

Shame
Depression
Physical
Pain Guilt And also a method for
Visualization of Peak
Self-sabotage Performance
Why TFT?
TFT is a self-help
technique.
People of all ages,
children and adults,
can use TFT for
themselves, whenever
and wherever they
need it.
Why TFT?
There are no recorded
cases of harm from
self-applied TFT.
In a given situation, it
either works or does
nothing.
 Knowing TFT empowers a
person to deal with even the
most extreme stress and
trauma rather than being
overwhelmed by negative
emotions.

Many well-funded relief organizations have
treated the post traumatic stress here in
Kosova.
Some of our people had limited improvement
but Kosova had no major change or real hope
until volunteer American Professor Carl
Johnson came to help us with Thought
Field Therapy.
We referred our most difficult trauma
patients to the Professor. The success
from TFT was 100% for every patient and
they are still smiling until this day.
 100 % Success Rate
As Chief of Staff of the Medical Battalion of K.P.C.
(KLA) I have full authority over all medical decisions in
Kosova. I am revising this completely and starting a
new national program.

The emphasis of the national program will

be Thought Field Therapy.

 Definition of
Thought Field Therapy

Thought Field Therapy is a method which

provides treatment for emotional, physical
and spiritual disturbances based on a code,
revealed by Dr. Callahans causal
diagnostic (Dx) procedures.

(Dx procedures are in our Boot Camp Self-Study Course)

 Perturbation
A perturbation is a subtle but clearly
isolable aspect of a thought field which
is responsible for triggering all
negative emotions. . . Perturbations then
affect the chemical, hormonal, nervous
system, cognitive and brain activity
associated with (but not the cause of) the
negative emotions.
 A thought field is an invisible,
non-material structure in space
that has an effect on matter.
 Michael Faraday: Fields may be the
most powerful force in the
universe, even though they can not
be seen or felt.
Electromagnetic fields can be
observed when iron filings are
scattered on a paper with a magnet
on it.
Rupert Sheldrake:
A New Science of Life
The Presence of The Past
Lynne McTaggert:
The Field
The Intention Experiment
 Fields themselves are not energetic
Thought fields and perturbations are
not energy. They require energy for
activation.
The bodys energy system is
activated when the person tunes into
the thought field.
A Blessing of Nature

The negative emotion is

encoded as a specific
discrete order of
perturbations or healing
data in the thought field.

Accurate TFT diagnosis

can reveal the code.
Each part of the code corresponds to
an energy meridian point, so that
stimulating (tapping) these points in
the encoded order will eliminate the
perturbations and negative emotions
and launch a healing process.
A 1:1 relationship exists between
perturbations or needed healing
data in the thought field and the
energy meridian points on the
body.
First Came Causal Diagnosis

14 treatment points
87 billion possible
combinations
If someone began the
year of Christs birth, he/
she would still have
163,864 years to go.
 And, from the Diagnostic
Procedures came TFT Algorithms

The algorithms
worked on
thousands of
people before they
were published.
 Psychological Reversal My First
Discovery and Still the Most Important!

A person who is in a
state of psychological
reversal is unable to
respond to an
otherwise effective
treatment. Healing is
blocked.
Psychological Reversal

A state of reversed
energy direction in the
body a literal reversal
in polarity measurable
with a standard voltmeter
Blocks healing and
prevents otherwise
effective treatment from
working
Psychological Reversal

Indications of
Psychological
Reversal (PR)
 Psychological Reversal
Algorithm Application
Treat for psychological reversal if
there is no improvement,
or only 1 point improvement,
after the first tapping sequence.
 Other Benefits of
Psychological ReversalTreatment

Burr/Langman (1940s)
Studied body polarity with sensitive
voltmeter
Women with no evidence of cervical malignancy
+ Polarity = 95% - Polarity = 5%

Women with cervical malignancy

+ Polarity = 4% - Polarity = 96%
 How to Recognize a
Psychological Reversal

TFT or other treatments (e.g., a medical

treatment that is normally effective) do not work
Chronic conditions that do not heal
Reversing words, concepts, and / or numbers
Dyslexia (likely to be a massive reversal state)
Grumpy, irritable, negative mood
Performance slump (as in sports)
Perseveration (repeating the same thing over and
over)
 How to Recognize a
Psychological Reversal

Self-sabotaging behavior
Self-talk is negative
Procrastination
Having a mental block in a particular
area, such as math, writing, computers,
etc.
Do not respond to appropriate algorithm
treatment and then responds to the same
treatment after PR correction
Psychological Reversal

Once PR has been

corrected, around 80%
of those who did not
respond to the TFT
tapping, experience the
expected decrease in
SUD on repetition of
the same sequence.
Specific Psychological Reversal

A reversal in a
specific area.
Treatment for Specific
Psychological Reversal

Tap PR spot on the

side of the hand
15 times while
thinking of the
problem.
Repeat tapping
sequence.
Research on PR
TFT treatments for
psychological reversal
were the most
effective in helping
professionals read
faster: 45%
improvement (Blaich,
1988).
Recurring Psychological
Reversal

What to do
When the
reversal
returns.
Recurring Psychological Reversal

Rub the sore spot

on the left side of
the chest (1 down
from the notch under
the neck and 4 over
to the left) while
thinking of the
problem being
treated.
Repeat the tapping sequence!
Massive Psychological Reversal

A person is blocked in
most domains of life,
with negative attitudes,
self-talk and self-
sabotaging behavior.
 Treatment for
Massive Psychological Reversal

Tap the side of hand (PR spot)

while thinking of problems and
limitations in general. If also
recurring, rub the sore spot.

Repeat the tapping sequence!

Treatment for Mini-Specific
Psychological Reversal

SUD still above 2.

Tap PR spot on the side of
the hand 15 times while
thinking of what is left of
the problem.
Repeat the entire treatment
(majors, 9 gamut, majors).
Level 2 Psychological Reversal

Psychological Reversal 2 (PR2)

Tap 10-15 times just under

the nose while focusing on the
problem.
 Correction for Mini-PR2

SUD is still above 2.

Tap 15 times the treatment point under the
nose while focusing on what remains of the
problem.

Repeat the entire treatment (majors, 9

gamut, majors).
Benefits of Psychological
Reversal Treatment
Calmer, more relaxed
behavior
Better reading skills
Improved test scores for
students
Positive energy can flow
Restoration of rationality
Healing can take place
Briefly Introducing

Subjective Units

Apex Problem
Cure and Time
Using the Subjective Units
of Distress (SUD) Scale

Know exactly how much

the symptoms are
improving

Rate distress 0-10 on how

the person feels at the
moment, not past or future
(1-10 can also be used)
Using the Subjective Units
of Distress (SUD) Scale

If the person cannot give

a SUD, the tapping can
still work.
Since you will not have
immediate feedback, treat
for reversal.

TFT & HRV
Heart Rate Variability

It is not the rhythm

itself that we
examine, but the
intervals between
heartbeats.
TFT & HRV
Heart Rate Variability

HRV provides an objective

measure of change.
It measures the balance in
the autonomic nervous
system.
HRV provides a measure

 TFT & HRV
Its influence in psychology & psychiatry is growing rapidly.

In my opinion,
in the future, all
therapies will need to
show HRV results.

 Cure and Time

Complete elimination of SUD

How long will it last?
A cure has taken place,
regardless of whether it lasts a few
minutes or years.
 Cure and Time

If someone lived 80 more years and

the symptoms never returned, how
would we know whether, if the
person had lived one more second,
the symptoms might have
returned?
 Cure and Time

Track the cure to see if it

lasts, and if not, what
factors might cause the
problem to return.
 Cure and Time

The most common reason for

recurrence is a substance the person
has eaten, drunk, or inhaled that is a
toxin for the person and undoes the
cure - cigarettes, wheat, eggs, corn, laundry
detergent...
Cure and Time

 The Nine Gamut Sequence (9g)

Tap the gamut spot 5x for each position while doing the
following:
1. Close the eyes
2. Open the eyes
3. Move the eyes down and to one side
4. Mod the eyes down and to the other side
5. Roll the eyes in a circleone direction
6. Roll the eyes in a circleopposite direction
7. Hum a tune (a couple of bars of any tune) out loud
8. Count out loud from one to five
9. Hum a tune again
 Floor to Ceiling Eye Roll
(Rapid Relaxation)

When SUD is 2 or less, do

floor-to-ceiling eye roll.
While tapping the gamut spot, hold
the head relatively level, starting with
the eyes looking all the way down.
Taking about 10 seconds, slowly
rotate the eyes in a vertical line from
their downward position to as far up as
they can go.
Using the SUD Scale

Remember you should give

you a number that represents
how you are feeling right at
this very moment, just
thinking about the problem,
not how you have felt in the
past or how you anticipate
you might feel in the future.
Using the SUD Scale

Focus only on the sensations in

your body when you originally tuned
into the problem if new sensations
arise you have shifted to a new
layer address this next
If you are emotionally repressed it
may be difficult to give a SUD. You
may need to be in the actual situation
in order to get upset. Go ahead and
tap, using all levels of reversal.
Using the SUD with Children

Children can be asked to

show with hands apart how
big the disturbance is

Use kid-compatible
language, such as, How icky
does it feel? or, What is your
number now?
Using the SUD with Children

TFT Treatment for Phobias

A persistent,
irrational fear of a
harmless object.
People can not
control their strong
reaction.
TFT Treatment for Phobias

People can be born with

phobias (neotenous).
Phobias can be caused by
trauma (dog bite).
Phobias can just
appear (atavisti
c).
 Fear of heights (acrophobia) is
initially present in all children
but absent in most adults.
We generally do not have
phobias of light sockets or
crossing the street.
Most people outgrow their
fears.
 TFT Treatment for Phobias

Simple phobias are limited to one

area of a persons life.
Anxiety can cause reluctance to
do something. Focus on the
reluctance.
 TFT Treatment for Phobias

If a phobia is linked with a

trauma, treat the trauma first.

Many phobias are not linked

with traumas.

If a Treatment Does
Not Work

Remember that
after correcting for
any type of
reversal, you must
always repeat the
treatment from the
beginning.
 Follow-up

If SUD is not zero, it could be

inertial delay or need Dx
Remember, on complex issues,
more layers may emerge.
What to Do If a Treatment
Doesnt Work

Ask yourself:
Did I do the correct sequence
for the appropriate algorithm?
Did I remember to do the
reversal / mini-reversal or PR2
correction and then repeat the
treatment?
What to Do If a Treatment
Doesnt Work

Ask yourself:
Have I tried using any alternative
algorithms listed for the problem
being addressed?

Have I tried doing the collarbone

breathing treatment?
 If Toxin Exposure is
Suspected
Tap index finger about 15 times and then
tap PR spot (side of hand) 15 times
Open a window or door
Change locationtry outside (fresh air vs.
air conditioning)
Or, change clothing to clothes that have
been cleaned in a different manner.
Remove or wash off any scented
cosmetics or items of clothing
Important:

If an algorithm isnt
working, after
following the correct
steps, including PR
treatments, STOP.

Fear of travel - land, sea or air
Everyday stress - business and personal
Self-doubt, negativity, self-sabotage, procrastination
and so on ...

 What is a Trauma?

A psychological problem which is a

normal response to a terrible
situation.

Often associated with feelings of anger,

guilt, rage, embarrassment, shame,
and depression.
 What is a Trauma?
Once the event is over, perturbations
can be resolved, and the problem
should not return.
If it does seem to return, it is most likely
a new thought field with new
perturbations. Treat again focusing on
