 Thought Field Therapy
When we think of a particular problem (such as a specific fear) we generate an individual thought field in much the same way as an electrical field is generated around an item of electrical equipment. According to Dr. Callahan’s theory, emotional problems are generated by equally specific interference patterns in these thought fields, which he describes as “perturbations”. These perturbations have been found to be the generating power behind the emotional (and occasionally, physical) signs and symptoms recognised by conventional medicine. Most existing therapies simply attempt to subdue those symptoms with varying degrees of success, or teach the patient coping skills. Whatever the outcome of such treatments the perturbations in the Thought Field (the cause of the problem in the first place) still remain. In order to remove the perturbations completely, and therefore the problem itself, one must apply a code that nature has provided.
Put simply, TFT treatments work like opening a combination lock. You may well know all of the numbers, but if you don't apply them in the correct order, the lock won't open. Thought Field Therapy diagnostic procedures not only reveal the correct code, but also the application sequence required for successful treatment.
Hence, when the identified energy points are addressed in the correct order most people notice a rapid and dramatic improvement in the way they feel. A common response of patients when asked to think about their problem following the treatment is "I can't think about it!" This could never be the case, of course, as one cannot utter such a comment without actually thinking about the problem! (For example, try saying this to yourself - "I am not thinking about elephants"...). A more precise statement would be "Now when I think about the problem that upset me terribly moments ago, I no longer get upset!"
Sceptics argue that TFT employs positive suggestion or merely distracts the individual from their problem. However, the most important feature of successful treatment is that the patient is required to think about their problem as clearly as possible both before and after the treatment. If the aim were to distract the patient or to encourage positive thinking, this would clearly lead to failure on both counts.
Comments by a few well known personalities about TFT Treatments:
"I have received ongoing feedback from many of the doctors and psychologists who have incorporated your techniques into their practice, and comments like 'extraordinary success with the Callahan Techniques in my most chronic, difficult-to-treat cases...' "
Dr. Lee Pulos, President, Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
"Using your technique I was able to help, in minutes, 10 nervous executives speak... (in public) ...with no trace of their former fear."
