Listen to Business Talk Radio, Saturday, January 23rd at 2:00 EST, and learn how you can tap into better business, health and well-being this year.
By the third week of January, most of us have abandoned our well intended New Year’s Resolutions. However, TFT has some simple tools to prevent that self-sabotage, negative self-talk, eliminate those cravings, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve our ability to visualize for peak performance.
Vern Moter, CPA, and host of Your Practical Advisor on Business Talk Radio will interview Joanne Callahan, President of Callahan Techniques, Ltd. and co-developer of TFT.
They will talk about this year’s top 10 New Year’s Resolutions and teach listeners how to correct blocks to achievement and healing, eliminate cravings, and improve their ability to clearly visualize their desired goals.
They will also be offering a 25% on a Stop Smoking self-help package and a Free Stress Busting Guide. Be sure to listen for your 25% savings code for his listeners. In addition you will hear from Vern about some great self-help programs he has for increasing your income this year.
While it is much too soon to begin to think about helping with the psychological traumas of the survivors in the after effect of the massive earthquake in Haiti, it is important to begin the psychological healing of the families and friends who are living elsewhere, and providing trauma relief for the rescue crews, first responders, troops going in to serve and their families. Even the press and viewers are being effected by the constant stream of heart wrenching images and reports of losses.
The ATFT Foundation has provided Thought Field Therapy® (TFT), the original meridian tapping therapy for trauma, to victims of wars, genocides and natural disasters, including Hurricane Katrina and the floods in Tabasco, Mexico.
TFT has been safely used to heal psychological problems for 30 years, and PTSD studies have demonstrated it to be highly effective in quickly eliminating the debilitating effects of even the worst of traumas with lasting results.
Early and regular use of these safe, self-applied protocols, can reduce or eliminate crippling grief, secondary traumatization, compassion fatigue and burn-out of our rescue workers and first responders. TFT can also reduce the stress and fears burdening the families of the rescue workers and response teams on the ground.
To this end, the ATFT Foundation’s TFT Trauma Relief Blog teaches these TFT trauma relief procedures in English, Japanese, Chinese, German, Russian, Spanish, French and Italian. These procedures are the very same, powerful tools used successfully in Kosovo with war victims, Rwandan genocide survivors, New Orleans Hurricane Katrina victims, and other traumatized regions.
The TFT Trauma Relief blog also has 34 powerful stories about how TFT has relieved the trauma of war, suicide, genocide, kidnapping, prison, massive burns, rape, etc. Our most recent story is Juanita Van Ham’s account of how TFT transformed her experience after being severely traumatized in a bank robbery.
The tapping techniques are provided in print and video formats, to all who are in need.
Please, if you have any family or friends that have been affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti, or have loved ones deployed in the rescue efforts, take advantage of these free, powerful self-help tools.

At the request of many of our customers and fellow professionals, we have taken the very best TFT has to offer and created an all new course, TFT Boot Camp.
This exciting new learning experience includes the best parts from each of our popular and long time courses:
Algorithm Level Training
Step A - Basic Diagnostic Self-Study Program
Sensitivities, Intolerances and Toxins ~ Self Study Program
Voltmeter & Psychological Reversal downloadable book
Diagnostic Level Course
Many part time practitioners and healthcare workers from other fields have said:
~I have heard so much about the power of TFT and want to be able to add it to my practice, but I don’t have the time or need to learn all the levels of training and comprehensive theory. Can’t you just give me the most effective tools to add to my practice.~
Others, like mothers, school teachers, massage therapists and clergy tell us they want to be able to use the powerful tools of TFT to help their friends, family or congregations, but they don’t want to know all the theory behind it or do a lot of studying. They just want to help themselves and others.
And others are saying, we can’t take the time away from work to travel and attend a 3-day seminar.
So we have created a course that specifically meets the needs of these individuals:
* Healthcare workers in other fields like medicine, homeopathy, chiropractic, and naturopathic
* Part-time practitioners
* Human resource managers
* Parents
* Counselors
* Teachers
* Clergy
* Business owners
* Coaches
Our ALL NEW TFT BOOTCAMP is an intensive, 2-day, weekend course that takes the best of each level of TFT and puts it all together in one comprehensive program.
We have a preliminary report of the progress being made following our ATFT Trauma Relief interventions this August in Byumba, Rwanda. We are attaching the draft that we received from Brother Augustine. The report sent by Brother Augustine, summarizes the reports sent in by each of the thirty-six therapists we trained this August. The therapist’s reports had to be translated from Kinyarwanda to English by Brother Augustine, and this report, attached, contains the responses thus far translated. It is a busy season now in Rwanda and we may get a more complete summary sometime early next year.
It is good to know that the thirty- six therapist the ATFT Team trained have treated 622 people since our departure at the end of August. That is in addition to the 200 plus persons treated by the Rwandan therapists while we were there. It seems that TFT is making a big difference in the lives of the therapist’s, in the lives of those whose lives the therapists touch, and in the larger communities in which they live.
Good work ATFT members! All of you have helped in some really significant way. Thanks especially to team members, Caroline Sakai, Gordon Barrett, Carmen Carrasco, Gary and Cyndie Quinn.
Happy Holidays!

Tapping Into Emotional Freedom from the Effects of Cancer: Part I
by Roger J. Callahan, PhD
Roger Callahan is a 23 year survivor of Colon Cancer and Joanne Callahan is a 8 year survivor of “hopeless” Stage IV Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer
History:
One of the current theories on the cause of cancer (Hamer) is that most cancers are caused by severe psychological trauma such as the death of a spouse or loved one. According to Dr. Hamer’s theory, it typically takes about a year before the developing cancer is identified.
My discovery and development of Thought Field Therapy® led to the loss of my successful psychological practice; I was in my mid-fifties at the time. This was due to the fact that I healed my current clients within a few weeks using the new powerful and rapid procedures (Callahan Techniques) I had been developing.
My wife at the time pleaded with me to give up this strange therapy I was doing. However, since I was making revolutionary discoveries in psychology, and I was successfully and rapidly curing my clients, without the need for their suffering during treatment and nothing could deter me from this mission.
My response to this request was a firm NO added by “I will go back to working on a trash truck (as I did in graduate school) before I go back to the ineffective procedures I used before my tapping discoveries.”
I did not go back to the trash truck but my income took a beating and I did have to close my office until I found solutions to my economic problem.
My previous wife left me to marry a very wealthy man. By this time, I was able to help most of my clients who suffered from terrible love pain; but I was not able to help myself. I was a complex case and the procedures I had developed up to that point did not ease my love pain and grief. It was very intense and endured for years until I found further development in my tapping protocols and the important the role of toxins in complex problems. I believe my prolonged love pain and grief was the cause of my cancer.
Whether you agree with Dr. Hamer’s theory of causation or not, anyone who develops cancer is at least severely traumatized by the shocking diagnosis. Typically, TFT is able to quickly eliminate all traces of both traumas; i.e., the originating trauma, if present, from years earlier and the trauma of receiving the diagnosis of cancer.
Tapping away the negative emotions from trauma can reduce stress, and help create a clear and calm presence in the face of this much feared and dreaded disease.
A New Theory:
In subsequent posts I will discuss my “Electric Theory of Cancer” and delve into the many ways that TFT can help improve the quality of life of a person with cancer.
Lynn McTaggert, author of The Field, The Intention Experiment, and What Doctors Don’t Tell You, and one of the participants in the Living Matrix Movie, talks about Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and how it rapidly heals trauma. She gives an example the TFT healing of trauma in the warn torn country of Kosovo.
The Living Matrix - The New Science of Healing” is the feature length documentary that transforms your understanding of how to get well and stay well.

As a follow-up to my recent post “Tap Away Holiday Stress and Anxiety”, I wanted to share a note of thanks from someone who did tap away their holiday stresses.
“I feel differently today….I would call it ‘normal’.
I got up at 5:30 am and I just finished making 4 pies (I volunteered to bring 2) and a triple batch of salad.
Normally, my kitchen would be a HUGE disaster once I was done making food for a holiday, but it’s completely clean and orderly and it fees awesome to have no anxiety, just a calm feeling!
Thank you for my BEST Thanksgiving yet!
Another strange thing is….. I am not even checking my e-mails or looking at the newspaper to see who has what on sale for Black Friday! So that alone is incredible!
I am more interested in looking at how to do my daily strengthening routine you gave me to do for the next 2 weeks.
Thanks again!”
You too can enjoy a stress free holiday. Our Daily Stress Busting Guide is invaluable for relieving stress or anxiety as it comes up, keeping you calm and collected as each new difficulty arises.
You can download this guide for free from our web site, www.RogerCallahan.com . Use it morning and night during this busy season.
The holiday season is typically a stressful time for most of us.This year will be particularly stressful due to the increased financial strain many are facing. And for others it will also be emotionally painful due to the absence of loved ones, either currently away serving their country or lost in the many disasters both man-made and natural that have occurred throughout the world.
A season that historically is supposed to represent peace, love and joy, often turns out to be a nightmare from being stressed out, underfinanced, and overwhelmed.
So when those old fashioned holiday tunes are playing, and the sadness starts rising, try tapping away those blues and then remember to smile.
Probably the single most stressful thing facing us this year is feeling the need to buy gifts for many but having limited resources.Another area of stress and concern is feeling the need for entertaining and pleasing others.These challenges can be faced with much more calm and mental clarity if you are tapping away your stress daily.
Our dailyStress Busting Guide is invaluable for relieving stress or anxiety as it comes up, keeping you calm and collected as each new difficulty arises.You can download this tapping guide for free from our web site.Use it morning and night during this busy season.
A Japanese study demonstrated that TFT meridian tapping normalizes cortisol, the stress hormone, levels in the body.Increased amounts of this stress hormone will leave you feeling tense and add to your feeling of being overwhelmed.It is well known that reduced stress contributes to a more robust immune system.
As we shop, interact in public, attend parties and travel, a healthy immune system is vital to maintaining our health. To learn how to use tapping for better health, just use the Stress Busting Guide regularly.
And then lastly, don’t allow your feelings of anger or guilt to linger and take up residence… try tapping them away as they surface.If you feel guilty that you can’t do or provide all that you would like to this season, or others have not met your expectations, tap away those harmful emotions.You can truly give and receive good feelings when your own negative emotions have been resolved. To find out where to tap for anger and guilt, go to the trauma relief blog, and the version for complex trauma with anger and guilt will help you to smile and reach out to others in the holiday spirit.
These are some simple ways that you can help turn your holidays into the peaceful and joyous time that we all wish for.As our gift, from Dr. Roger Callahan and Joanne Callahan, to all, we have provided these free tools to assist you, and wish you all a very blessed and joyous holiday season as we celebrate 30 years of healing with TFT.
Do you remember the days when thinking about the Holidays filled your heart with excitement, your eyes with brilliance, your mind with expectation, and your tummy with dancing butterflies?
You may be wondering: what happened?!
If the same thought now fills you with more anxiety than joy, you are probably not alone. Crowded malls, company dinners, short daylight hours and the swine flu dread don’t help to lift the mood and cause that feeling of anxiety.
If you wish to experience peace of mind and balance even in the weeks to come, you will find the following three simple tips, from the amazing world of Thought Field Therapy, most useful:
* Watch what you eat. My primary concern here is not that you might gain weight if indulging in too many treats. Instead, I caution you to be aware of the Food-Mood Connection. When delicacies of every sort are amply available it is only too easy to overindulge in food stuff that may not agree with you. This can manifest physically in discomfort, even pain, as well as breathing and sleeping difficulties. Emotionally, too much of a good thing can show up in irritability, anxiety and depression. The Food-Mood connection is very real. It is not uncommon for clients to tell me that they feel sad and down after too much chocolate, or hypersensitive and angry after eating yet another cookie. Therefore, limit your food indulgences. Notice what you eat. Your waist line and your balanced, content mood will be your reward.
* Nip stress in the bud: Don’t let stress build up. Don’t wait until you reach the breaking point before you do something. It is so easy to eliminate all stress and anxiety with TFT. Just follow my TFT workout video, “The TFT Power Ritual,” below. Use it under the following circumstances.
* Tap in the morning. Think about the day/s and week/s ahead and tune into all your responsibilities, expectations and past experiences (e.g. traumas). Rate your level of upset on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 = no stress, 10 = extreme stress) and tap along with me on the video.
* Tap before going to bed. Think about the day you had, everything that was said, everything that happened and rate your level of upset, tension or anxiety. Now tap by following the video.
* Tap before you eat. Never, never eat from a place of anxiety. If nothing else, commit to yourself for the next few weeks that you will only eat when you are stress and anxiety FREE. Become aware of the tension in your body or the conversations in your head. Rate their intensity, then tap with the video. By doing so, you will be able to eat from a place of peace so you can actually notice what you are eating. People tell me that the food tastes better and that they need less of it to feel satisfied. Remember it’s not what you are eating - it’s what’s eating you. Get that out of the way and your meal becomes again a nourishing feast for body, mind and spirit.
* Food or Addiction? If you use Holiday treats as fuel to keep you going (similar to caffeine), you are probably under a lot of stress. There may even be an underlying addiction to these foods, an addiction you may not be aware of – not until you stop eating the treat. If you experience strong cravings, if you feel you just can’t do without a certain food, rate the intensity and use “The TFT Power Ritual” to eliminate the craving.
Implementing these ideas takes a bit of discipline. I know. And it is this discipline that will set you free. The Bible says that the meek shall inherit the world. Unfortunately, the word “praos” (meek) was translated incorrectly. A much better translation is “disciplined.” It is the disciplined that shall inherit the world, those who just do it.
These simple steps, when followed consistently, allow you to move from survival mode to thrive mode, despite whatever might be happening around you.
I returned home on the afternoon of Thursday, September 24 and was greeted by the familiar red flash of my voice mail recorder.
“This is Jane Blume, Dariah… I did it, Dariah, I went over the edge! It was a struggle, a real struggle, because I had to press the guide rope with my nondominant hand, but I did it! I actually stepped off a 16 story building and rappelled down the side!”
Jane is a KUNM radio programmer in Albuquerque, NM whom my husband, Bruce, and I met during a TFT workshop that we did in Albuquerque in August. She is 66 years young, a recent grandmother, owner of Desert Sky Communications and became a widow two years ago after 44 years of marriage. “Well, do I curl up in a corner in a fetal position, or do I go out and embrace life?”, she asked herself at that time.
Rappelling down the side of a 230 foot building in downtown Albuquerque to raise money for Special Olympics New Mexico looked like embracing life to Jane, so she became the first media personality to sign up for the challenge, entitled “Over the Edge”.
Shortly after making her commitment, she called me for some TFT assistance. After two brief phone consultations, Jane was ready for the big day.
One of only two women to rappel, she had this to say at the end of her phone message….
”I have been featured on the news here…my picture (there were actually two) will be on the front page of the metro section of the Albuquerque Journal, people felt inspired, I feel inspired! I used the TFT techniques you taught me for an hour before stepping off the building! I am grateful for your help! You helped me with my intention to live fearlessly! I could not have done this without you! Thank you!”
There is a popular inspirational plaque that asks, “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?” Perhaps it should read, “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could conquer your fears and accomplish things no one, including yourself, ever thought possible?”
TFT opens the door of living fearlessly to all of us!
Many people have asked me over the years whether TFT can help them achieve a particular health goal, career goal, financial goal or relationship goal.
Unequivocally, the answer is “Yes”!
By working directly on the emotional stress points that keep us from achieving what we want in life — TFT can help allow abundance, health, love and other achievement into our lives.
To help YOU get what you want in 2010, I’ve set aside 4 hours the first two weeks of January to work directly with you and others who want to reach their goals.
In an exciting, informative and results-oriented teleconference series — I’ll personally lead you through the tapping sequences and follow-up exercises you need to achieve your loftiest goals.
We’ll start on January 5th with an introduction to using TFT and the tapping technique for achieving goals. Then, on the evenings of January 6th, 7th and 12th — I’ll lead you through the same processes my private VIP consultation clients enjoy!
(We’ll also be hosting a session each day for the European Time Zone)
We’ve kept the price super-economical to insure that everyone can afford to work with me.
Registering for this group-format series is easy by clicking the link below.
When you join us January 5th with your list of New Year’s resolutions, you’ll discover that achieving any goal is possible with TFT — even though, today, the world seems to be spinning out of control. Goals that seemed so much closer during the “boom years” now appear further away than ever.
Many people are questioning how they can get what they want when — every day — they’re feeling more and more lost, helpless and stressed. Daily news stories keep us focused on negative, stressful events — rather than on pursuing our goals, dreams and desires.
If you’ve found yourself falling further into this “mental mind-trap,” TFT can help you stay focused, optimistic, calm and resourceful. It can help you maintain an action-oriented posture versus numbly reacting to whatever comes your way.
And in this state of calm and focus, your own personal super-computer — the brain — can do its job of scanning your environment, looking for connections, allowing opportunity to filter into your consciousness… and giving you the motivation and desire to act.
If you’ve been recently unemployed… and want to find new work in 2010, TFT can help activate your job-seeking abilities by allowing your stress-free mind to act upon chance encounters, forgotten connections and odd conversations.
If financial success is your goal, TFT can help you find — and act — upon opportunities to make more money than you ever dreamed were possible in this economy. Significant riches ARE being made in this financial climate by people who can identify them and move forward with confidence.
If you want to meet your soulmate in 2010, TFT can help you finally release the emotional hurts and deep-seated “baggage” of past relationships — allowing you to be open to new love and happiness again.
If superb health and relief from annoying or cumbersome disease and disorders is your goal for next year, TFT can immediately reduce the stress that causes these ailments — and reduce the further stress they cause YOU in living with them. The American Institute of Stress found that over 90% of disease is caused or complicated by stress. In fact, stress has been linked to ALL leading causes of death including heart disease, cancer, accidents and suicide.
Don’t let 2010 go by — living with illness, loneliness, financial lack or simply wondering what your life could be like.
Join us the evenings of January 5th, 6th and 7th — with a follow-up consultation on January 12th. I want to help you get what you want in 2010.
In an effort to facilitate healing the emotional wounds of traumas such as abuse, abandonment, addiction and neglect, we propose to train 15 Prince George, BC citizens - key community leaders, elders, youth role models and mentors - in Thought Field Therapy.
Graduates of the trainings will then make themselves available to facilitate healing for their peers in the VLA (Veteran’s Land Act), the poorest neighbourhood of British Columbia. The goal is to empower the residents of the VLA to heal themselves and each other, and by extension their community and beyond.
Inspired by the transformation TFT facilitated in the people of Rwanda and Uganda, we decided to use the same model of community empowerment with the citizens of the VLA (Veteran’s Land Act), one of Canada’s poorest neighborhoods, located in Prince George, British Columbia.
We want to train at least 15 residents – community leaders, elders, youth role models and mentors – in TFT. Graduates of the training will then make themselves available to facilitate healing for their peers.
If our initiative, “Tap into New Beginnings”, receives enough votes, we will have a chance at getting $10,000 to bring this idea to life (sponsored by the AVIVA Community Fund). Anyone with access to a computer and an email address can vote for our idea and thus make it happen.
The competition ends November 29! The time is already running. Make us your new home page so you can vote daily.
Our vision is for crack houses to make room for tap houses. We believe that providing the people of the VLA with the tools to heal themselves is the best cure for all ailments: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Carl Totton, PsyD, works in the school district of a large city. In this video he relates how he treated 2 young men who experienced the trauma of an armed store robbery and a restaurant robbery. The trauma of having gun point to their heads devastated them to the point they could not function.
In matter of minutes using TFT tapping, they could cope with their trauma.
Growing up, I was horribly afraid of my own shadow, strangers and public places. As a little child, I used to hide under my bed when company came and if we went out in public, I was stuck to my mom as a third leg. I have no clue what caused that fear and my parents can’t think of any trauma that happened to me. They just thought I was a very shy child.
In school, I’d have myself sick worrying about having to give a speech in front of the class or sing a recital with the choir in front of the parents. I always chose to be the person behind the scene and not the one in the spot light. I remember my body would shake, my heart would race, my mind went to mush and I’d turn bright red in the face. I didn’t even like to go anywhere by myself, especially if I didn’t know anyone else. Any new environment or change would be painful for me because I’d worry myself to the point that exhaustion.
When it came to my job or owning my own business, I knew I had to get rid of this ridiculous fear. I tried everything I could think of like therapy, desensitizing myself by forcing myself to go out to public places, acupuncture, Reiki, hypnosis, self help books and tapes. I think I tried it all. Along the way, those things did help yet their was always a lot of anxiety attached to going out and having to speak in front of people.
My husband and I did marriage prep for our church and there would be times that I thought my heart would jump through my throat or I got light headed when I had to read my part. I kept praying to God to get me through it. Afterwards, I’d be totally exhausted as if I’d run a marathon. read more »
