TFT – Callahan Techniques® Thought Field Therapy®

Dr. Roger Callahan joined the ATFT Foundation at their first strategic planning retreat last weekend in Sedona, AZ.

All but one of the foundation’s dedicated board members came together for this meeting. They paid their own expenses to travel to Sedona for a weekend of brainstorming and planning, led by board member Bruce Paton, a retired PepsiCo executive, who has led many similar strategic planning sessions in the past.

Mary Cowley, Suzanne Connolly, Jenny Edwards, Joanne Callahan and Darla Terry-Ausmann were all present as Bruce led us thru our planning sessions. Sunday morning we had the pleasure of Roger Callahan, Jim Cowley and Dariah Morgan joining us as we shared our goals and plans for the future. We appreciated their various perspectives as we fine tuned our vision for ATFT Foundation’s future.

It was an exciting experience, sharing ideas, energy and a common goal of spreading TFT throughout the world with research, education and humanitarian work. I was amazed at the synergistic effect of all of us getting together in the same place.

Suzanne and Bruce Connolly graciously hosted the event in Suzanne’s office – and just two days after arriving home from a month in Rwanda. That, in itself was unbelievable. It was a delight to hear the stories from Suzanne’s trip

Bruce Paton was a skilled facilitator and leader throughout the entire weekend. He even provided all of us with a summary by Sunday evening, while still traveling, from a restaurant in Flagstaff. I will share some of his notes and summary.

“Our objectives were twofold…get to know one another better (teambuilding) and to create a strategic plan (increase foundation effectiveness).”

We defined strategy as “a series of integrated initiatives designed to produce desired results“. We defined plan as “a predetermined path from which to knowingly deviate“. read more »

It was truly an honor to be recognized by colleagues from around the world, for my thirty years of building Thought Field Therapy (TFT).   There was so much excitement and warmth from so many of the over 500 people attending the annual ACEP conference.

People came up to me throughout the four days telling me how pleased they were to carry on my work into the world.  Others said, “you saved my life three years ago”.   Some I have met previously but had not seen for years, others I did not know but all showed the same warmth and appreciation with a passion for helping others.   It was inspiring to see all the various forms of Tapping, the research being done and the humanitarian relief work that is helping so many people throughout the world.

Joanne and I received a standing ovation from our workshop “Thirty Years of Healing With Thought Field Therapy” as we demonstrated the power tools of TFT and showed the many changes and improvements that have taken place in TFT over the last three decades.  They were so grateful and some even expressed surprise at how much TFT has evolved from it’s early days as the Callahan Techniques.

I was so proud when our ATFT Foundation team, Suzanne Connolly and Caroline Sakai, presented their humanitarian relief work and PTSD studies and announced the acceptance for publication of the first study.  They too received a standing ovation and a very strong endorsement from one of ACEP’s lead researchers, David Feinstein.

The entire conference was exciting with a wonderful positive community spirit. I am pleased to see that our practitioner base is growing and we welcome all who are working with tapping, at the algorithm level, to continue on with their skills and grow with our new training programs in TFT.

A special thanks to all of our clients, practitioners and “tappers”… you’ve helped to make TFT the success it is today,

Roger Callahan.

Roger and I have just returned from the UK and a great Optimal Health course where some of our long time practitioners of TFT, as well as a few new ones, have added the Voice Technology level to their skills.  They came from numerous health care fields to add the convenience and effectiveness of TFT VT to support the emotional health of their clients and training base.  It was a very diverse group and we all shared information on tapping within the fields of nursing, acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, Reiki, hypnosis, trauma specialists and counseling, and, even a little EMDR.

Roger also taped a brief interview with Tom Greenhalgh, Executive Director of National Public Safety Solutions,  for his training programs.  I taped a brief segment on our trauma relief work and our Freedom R & R program for our returning veterans, for the ATFT Foundation,  and our Trauma Relief Blog.

Tom has an excellent production crew and facility and our hope is to have these tapes available to all our trainers for use in their trainings as well.  I will keep our trainers posted on their availability (on the trainer’s list serve).  Thank you Tom!

During the course we saw some excellent improvements in HRV’s as we worked on everyone’s personal issues throughout the weekend.  The objective self-testing and self-treatment methods allowed everyone to help themselves in many areas, as well as improve their clients, especially those who they had found difficult to help in the past.

One attendee helped a client with the recent death of a parent, another helped a sibling with PTSD from war, and several helped family members with various physical pain issues.  We had a variety of problems to practice on and they were enlightening learning experiences for everyone.

Also, we’ll be hosting another “Learn to Tap” Teleclass.

It has been a great experience for both Roger and I, and our class attendees.  They are doing an amazing job of applying tapping to themselves for  all kinds of life stresses, past traumas, over eating, claustrophobia and much more.

The teleclass format has proven to be a very effective way to help many people and provide them with one-on-one interaction with Roger and I, at a very reasonable cost.

Our country’s current economic state and the increased daily stress for most people make a low cost, easy to attend tele-class an effective way to solve problems.

As many are facing job interviews, employee reviews, new social or peer groups as your situations change, we find many of our customers are experiencing some degree of discomfort with these events.  The class starts at the end of the month .

Dr. Jeanette Magdalene tells her story:

I have been working with what is known as Awareness During Anesthesia for 18 years. 

Many people don’t know that more then 100 people per day will wake up during their surgery and not be able to speak, move, open their eyes, anything to let the doctors know they are awake!

This happened to me in 1990 during my own surgery.

I  woke up before the surgery even began only to find myself buried within my body that no longer worked as I knew it. The surgery began, I felt every cut of the knife , smelled and felt my flesh burning , everything everyone was saying and even stepped outside of my body as my heart started to go into arrest and viewed everything the doctor was doing to get my heart under control.

I even heard the doctor say there was nothing wrong with me! Misdiagnosis so never needed the surgery to begin with!

I was offered a large settlement but turned it down so I could speak about this and help others like yourself never to know what I went through. I threw myself into my own research and blew one of the most well kept secrets in medicine wide open. To date I have changed every hospital in America, I teach at every medical school the U.S.A, written a book on Anesthesia Awareness,  have been interviewed in T.V and print throughout the world, and tons more that can be viewed on my website: www.aware4life.com .

I also have worked with Military and Law Enforcement for many years and always felt these type of people needed more for themselves due to the high level of stress and traumas they experience. I’ve put different programs together for them – Anesthesia Awareness – and it took on a life of its own.

Then one day a friend told me about something she heard of called Thought Field Therapy and wanted to know if I would want to go?

I jumped up and said yes lets go! She said “why would I go? That’s your type of work“. I looked at here and said “do you know how I stayed alive on the operating table? By learning. You never know when something like this will help you somehow in your life so your going with me“. read more »

Dr. Roger Callahan invites you to the upcoming ACEP convention:

ACEP Convention

Sponsored by the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology. The Largest organization of practitioners of energy psychological methods.

As founder and developer of Thought Field Therapy, the first of the tapping therapies, and the underlying structure for the many derivatives, Dr. Callahan has lead the field with new changes, developments, and research for over 30 years.

ACEP has been working hard, over the last 12 years, to get “energy psychology” and tapping therapies accepted by APA. After having been rejected several times, they now feel they will need to “raise the funds necessary to conduct the state-of-the-art research that cannot be ignored.”

ATFT Foundation has been funding humanitarian and research projects for over 6 years and has recently completed two of these “state-of-the-art research that cannot be ignored”, studies on PTSD. Together, Dr. Callahan, Callahan Techniques, Ltd., ATFT and ACEP can be a much stronger force in bringing recognition to our work and facilitating help for so many suffering from trauma throughout the world

As we all recognize, TFT is about healing and helping people, and not about competition, working with ACEP, participating in joint research and presenting at the upcoming ACEP conference will help provide a united front for a greater awareness of TFT and all of the meridian tapping therapies

I would like to share the announcement for the next annual ACEP Conference, and, that Dr. Callahan and I will be presenting Thirty Years of Healing With TFT.

Dr. Caroline Sakai and Suzanne Connolly, LCSW, will be presenting the ATFT Foundation’s PTSD studies, that state-of-the art research mentioned above. We are all very excited because this is the first time in many years where we will be working together with ACEP and the various energy Psychology therapies to expand awareness, increase research and create a stronger force to reckon with mainstream regulatory bodies.

If you are interested in attending this event, you can save by registering now. We expect this event to be sold out. I hope to see you there.

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:

1. Algorithm Level Training
2. Step A – Basic Diagnostic Self-Study Program
3. Sensitivities, Intolerances and Toxins ~ Self Study Program
4. Voltmeter & Psychological Reversal downloadable book
5. 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.

Dates for 2010

August 28-29 – Vancouver, BC
September 25-26 – Chicago, IL
October 9-10th – Orlando, FL

Attendance is Limited! Be one of the first to experience a TFT Boot Camp.

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.

I look forward to working with you,

Dr. Roger Callahan And Joanne Callahan

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.

Please click here to cast your vote DAILY.

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.

You can make this happen.

Abdul Hamid Al Firdaus and Dr. Callahan share a joyous moment at the Optimal Health course.

Dr. Callahan and I just returned from London where we shared a lovely TFT Optimal Health course with participants from 7 countries.

This course expands our health from emotional and physical levels into our spiritual realm, using TFT to improve our lives in all dimensions. We share with the participants, all the tools we have learned and personally use to achieve optimal health in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.Since this course has developed, I have received many letters and comments about the life-changing results our participants have achieved, whether physical, emotional or spiritual. Our first course produced a much wanted TFT VT baby. The second one had some amazing healings and one very touching spiritual awakening for a veteran.

One of the many things I introduce in the course is my meditation teacher and his work. His CD and his lovely book are a greta way to introduce the benefits of meditation with the class.

The first time I did this, a physician from the UK, wrote me the following:

“Thank you so much for giving us the “Awakening ” book and meditation CD . I thought it was brilliant and I listen to the CD everyday . It has helped me to be at peace more.

It is different from other meditation CDs I have heard in that it allows you to just focus and gain your own experience of the natural energy present .

This spiritual side is helpful in gaining the wider awareness that the same divine energy is present in everyone. This has to be a good thing as it allows love and harmony to be spread and unites all people. This leads to a higher consciousness and a more meaningful existence.

I really admire that you have the courage to share this with us and hope you continue to do so in other courses. It is most valuable.”

Then last week, I received the following:

“I read the book the awakening – it was just on the right day. it brought me back to a place that I thought that I will never be able to reach again.”

Because of comments and testimonials like these, I want to share this with all of our friends, customers and colleagues. Steven Sadleir, author of The Awakening, is offering free meditation calls on October 7 and 14, this month to introduce new people to meditation.

Click here  to sign up for this call.

His classes have brought a much needed peace and calm amidst the turbulence surrounding us all.

If the thought of speaking to people in public OR even just speaking to people casually makes your heart race or worse…

Fills you with terror and dread… Our new tele-seminar is for you!

“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. As I grew up It became my passion to educate people about my passion, the dangers of what toxins lurk in our homes and work places. There was just one little problem. I couldn’t get over my fear of speaking so I turned down many opportunities to speak. I called doctor Callahan and had a session to work on my fear of public speaking. After our short time together I knew that my life long crippling fear was a thing of the past and I was now set free to go out and pursue my passion of speaking to people about how to build healthier lives at home and their workplace. Thank you Dr. Callahan for teaching me TFT and allow a whole new world to open up to me.”

Chrissy Mayhew, Baltimore MD

When we say “fear of public speaking” what do we mean?

Whenever we say “fear of public speaking” we are talking about ALL types of speaking.

This could be speaking on stage in front of hundreds of people or just giving a small presentation at work to a small group. We are also referring to speaking socially. This could include talking to a group of people at church or at a local gathering – or it could simply mean talking one-on-one with your boss or better yet, that special person in your life.

If you experience any fear or anxiety in these types of situations your success both personally and professionally is being suffocated.

Imagine what your life could be like when you remove the stress that comes along with speaking publicly, privately and socially …speaking any time.

Have you tried all the methods and techniques that claim they can help you with your fear of public speaking?

…spending countless hours preparing for your speeches

…confronting your fear by speaking in public many times

…relaxation exercises, therapy, hypnosis or drugs

…Meditation, personal development books and DVD’s promising you can overcome these fears and live a more fulfilling life

Did any of these approaches really work for you?

Starting October 7th, Dr. Roger Callahan and Joanne Callahan will personally show you how to eliminate ANY fear of speaking you may have… and how you can do it often in just minutes… Guaranteed!

Unfortunately, the tele-class is limited to 26 students.. and it’s filling fast.
