When you see the research and trauma relief we sponsor, you will see how important this work is.  We are in need of two laptop computers for this year’s team and PTSD study in Uganda next month.  Please if you have an unused laptop laying around, consider donating to support our research and humanitarian relief.

You can email me, joanne@tftrx.com if you can help us out.

Thank you,

I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of you for your wonderful greetings on my 87'th birthday. It is wonderful to know there are so many helping to share the healing power of TFT with those in need.

I had a lovely birthday celebration with my family. I am so proud of all of my children and grandchildren, Katie, here with me in the photo, is helping to carry forward the work of TFT in the world.

Warm Regards,

Last year, 2011, was an exciting and productive year for the ATFT (now the TFT) Foundation. We saw the completion, continuance and fruition of many programs with support for our mission and goals.

This year is headed in the same fruitful direction. In our Spring Issue we share our plans, needs and hopes for this year and our long-term future.

Glimpse a bit of the past and hope for the future – I am so excited to be able to share the just completed teaser for our upcoming documentary (see below).

One of our TFT Foundation board members, Mary Cowley, wrote a wonderful description for the documentary.

Peace IS within our grasp. It is at the tip of our fingers…literally. The upcoming documentary “From Trauma to Peace” will shock you in how quickly and easily people can be relieved of the devastating effects of trauma through the safe and effective “tapping” technique of Thought Field Therapy (TFT). AND how the impact of that emotional freedom not only brings peace of mind to the individual, but facilitates peace within and among communities.

The ATFT Foundation funded 2008 PTSD study “Brief trauma intervention with Rwanda genocide survivors using Thought Field Therapy" has just come out in peer reviewed International Journal of Emergency Mental Health. The study’s two-year follow-up will be submitted for publication at a later date.

This study was the first of the ATFT Foundation’s PTSD studies, demonstrating an effective model for large-scale trauma relief. In 2009 a second study with this same model was completed and will be submitted for publication soon. It included a one-year follow-up and will also be submitted for publication.

The TFT (formerly ATFT) Foundation will be purchasing reprints. These reprints will be available from the foundation through Joanne@TFTFoundation.org .

Rwandan genocide survivors, using Thought Field Therapy.
International Journal of Emergency Mental Health, 13 (3), 161-172.

The third study, demonstrating this same model for large-scale trauma relief will be completed in Uganda in June of this year. Suzanne Connolly received a grant from ACEP (Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology) as seed money for this year’s study. The remaining funding will be provided from the three organizations providing the team: TFT Foundation, (USA), ATFT Foundation UK, and the Mats Uldal Humanitarian Foundation (Norway).

Our join objectives for these studies are:

1. To continue developing and scientifically validating a model in which local community leaders can be trained to treat community members in the aftermath of large- scale disasters, especially in regions where trained professionals are scarce.

2. To relieve the distress of those suffering from trauma and promote Post Traumatic Growth (PTG).

The TFT Foundation is in need of support to continue these studies and provide much needed trauma relief. To see further details about the previous studies and projects or to contribute to our efforts, go to www.TFTFoundation.org

Here's what people that have tried Thought Field Therapy® - for the first time - have shared with us:

"I am a therapist and have been using TFT successfully with clients for the past year. This has worked well with most issues that they have been facing. I would recommend this method as a quick and easy way to resolve problems.  There are times when a trained therapist is needed to help resolve psychological reversal." Sonia V.

Anxiety: "I used to be a skeptic but now I am a believer.  I have struggled with anxiety for years and even take medication for it I am now better able to control the symptoms of anxiety allowing for logic to take over my emotions rather than my emotions ruling me.  I am so thankful for this technique." Katrina

"Almost immediate release of negative thoughts with replacement of positive ones" Sonya

"I read the book and used the therapy in the book and I noticed instant relief, I cant believe it was so easy. I have been going through a lot of stress and trauma lately and and going through the simple tapping techniques has brought me instant relief whenever I want it." Mark H

"Thank-you, I seem to struggle with past trauma which has effected all areas of my life. I feel my main problem is trust in self and other people. I am a victim of abuse, sexually mentally and physically. Although I have had help in many ways I seem to still struggle with anxiety. My day will start great only to be triggered some how and I feel so I shutdown. This is driving me a little crazy as you can imagine. I have worked with a behavior book 3 an 1 concept and I am a practitioner in Bio-Kinesiology, which by the way I am not doing at this time in my life due to the fact my unconsciousness seems to have a hold on me. I am presently unemployed and would love to get back in the world.  I am a person with great care and concern with a great understanding of the Universal principles that govern our world. I believe I have a lot to offer and yet I feel immobilized and frightened with out just cause in the here and now.

I have done the suggested tapping and I did feel somewhat better. I have found it to be quite easy and with fast results.I could feel the shifting in energy through-out my body and mind.I feel there may be hope yet for whatever my condition is. I just call it over powered by the unconsciousness. Anyway, I thank-you again for having such a wonderful web site" Liana

"I learned a different combination of tapping points before from my homeopath doc and I was looking for other combos so between the two (from you and him) it works great!"

"It has been phenomenal! After only 2 days of tapping I feel like a completely different person! I have been amazed that I can get rid of pain in my body. My wife, son and I had a marathon tapping session in our Chiropractic office yesterday and quite frankly we are stunned how this has changed our lives already! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"

"Thanks for the guide. I am psychologist and  a teacher at the same time. I used the TFT for my mum who suffers from depression and for my student who smokes." Fati

"Any time I am feeling negative about a situation, I tap on the general points as outlined in your basic training and it always makes me feel better."Steve S.

Trauma of husband's suicide and stress: "I had immediate results. I was very surprised.  After just a couple of treatments and not being sure if I was even doing it right, I felt relief." Rae M

Stress and anxiety for the economic recession: "I am already practicing tapping every day and is the only method that drives me out of this situation." Pavlos S

I am a survivor, emotionally and also literally, of many events.  On the other end, the positive side one could say, I know myself to possess many talents and gifts I could share with humanity. I am 69 and did practice psychotherapy (MFT license) for several decades and also lectured in several universities and colleges. Even then I always had to conquer my anxieties 'to perform,' but my creativity, circumstances and a sense of mission did pull me through then. I have relocated in many countries in the course of my life and during  the last decade, after a painful divorce I emigrated to Israel where I thought I'd live my last years . Then a  lucid dream instructed me to travel to Thailand, and so I did, since I feel guided to follow the directions of my deep inner spirit.  There is definitely a spiritual component to my life, one not bound by formal religiosity.  I came back to the U.S.A. in 2007, already in my sixties, and the stress of relocating and trying to find  a way to generate an income in this  strange new (and often toxic) world  seems to have gotten the better of me, at least for now.  I feel under great stress as my money is quickly running out and I seem to easily self sabotage. I know better but...

I believe many of the other issues I have could easily enough be tracked  to the initial life traumas experienced as a holocaust child survivor.  I finally have completed the questionnaire to send to Joanne and noted some of those issues there. In the last few months, my suffering has increased greatly, as I am now living in an area where it seems that, increasingly so in the last few months, sirens are howling and homelessness is increasing. With all my degrees and experience I have not been able to activate my professional life in spite of some good efforts. I am now in the midst of moving out of my present situation and hoping to get some emotional relief and find a place more conductive to my healing, I need to relate more to the beauty of nature than to the social insanity  I see being so accentuated in the "city". I  hope to quickly get back on my feet, so to speak, and get well beyond all my previous expectations.

When I tap, I experience a definite relief from moments of fear and panic, but then the suffering created by my anxieties  comes back to me and I have to do it again. I hope that my upcoming session with Joanne  ( I have completed the questionnaire and will fax it as soon as I can get to town this afternoon) will change much of that. However I am so low in outer resources - money mostly but  also finding  a new place to live and work from there - that until I find the inner and outer openings that will allow me to generate  enough abundance and resources,  I won't be able to schedule and pay for additional private sessions. Still,  I hope that once you familiarize yourselves with my situation, you'll be able to direct me to the appropriate literature on your website and I will also lose my fear (shame? guilt?) of asking for help.  I reviewed some  of your 'products' ( audio tapes etc.) and I am impressed by the great potential available.

I am equally aware that you are working with trauma victims in the whole wide world's war ravaged locations and this feels really good to me. It fits with my highest ideas.  I hold on to good hope, the hope to learn  to return to who I truly am, start rising out of the muck and shine ... as  I feel I am destined to.  As my  last statement here, I want to share with you that I feel it is not solely a personal healing I am after, but a generational one . I am one who believes that as one heals oneself, one heals several previous and future generations. At least in my own mind and heart, the much needed generational healing of the people I come from ( my original Jewish tribal connection) is intertwined with the wider universal human condition ... But I better  stop here and now before I find myself going deeper into speaking of the present metaphysical dynamics  of our planetary and cosmic existence, one  favorite topics of exploration  of mine.

Best regards, Monique

"Even with the little I remembered (tapping my collar bone) I found I was consciously becoming aware of positive emotion, and even started chuckling." Rawfy

Trauma, child abuse: "It was a great help, I will continue. Thanks a lot!" Mary N.

"Peace. but I have PR challenges and ongoing stress. I have the anxiety-addiction connection, the five minute phobia cure, and tapping the healer within. I will continue to work on my problems. thank you for this wonderful material. I can't afford a practitioner but I have the books." Frances

Stress due to death in family and illness of another family member: "I used the technique as demonstrated by the young female subject in the DVD and found it very useful in alleviating my concerns.I was able to relax focus on being happy now." Dr. Patricia

"I have constant anxiety throughout the day. It occasionally becomes so overtaking that I am scared to leave my house! When stressful situations come along, I have panic attacks, sometimes even days before the situations happen. Because of these problems, I have missed a lot of school.( I am a highschooler.) I am currently trying to work out some medicine, but in the meantime, I am desperatley looking for some relaxation techniques. Also, even when I have daily medicine, my doctor says that I will need some techniques also.

My counselor shared this program (TFT) with me. I do it every morning when I wake up, then I am allowed to have three ten minute breaks for tapping at school. I just started doing the techniques a few days ago, and they have been astonishingly helpful! Generally, I do not even need all my breaks at school because my day started out calmer. I still have anxiety, but it is becoming more and more manageable with your techniques and the medicine!Later in life, I plan to use your techniques for any other stressful situations!  They are miracle techniques!  Thank you so much!" Carol T

"I am a clinical hypnotist and many years I was introduced to EFT during one of my training sessions. Dr. Callahan was mentioned as the  one that was instrumental in discovering this technique, however Gary Crieg presented his version of the technique which he stated replaced Dr. Callahan's I never questioned him and have studied meridian tapping since then. I use it during ever hypnosis session. Well it was refreshing to learn the Dr. Callahan was still actively involved in TFT. I was curious to find out why Gary had abandoned the 9 point gamut and how much TFT differed from EFt. I am passionate about helping my clients and I will utilize whatever brings them the tastes and most long lasting result." Michael H.

Stress & anxiety resulting in physical outcomes such as pain in chest & other areas: "I have previously tried EFT so I knew something of the background to TFT. When I tried it after reading the guide I did find my stress levels reducing somewhat. It has resulted in  sensational changes but there has been reduction in my feelings of stress & anxiety. I hope by continuing with the process I will be able to improve my blood pressure problem" Victor

"It helped me 5 years ago after the death of my Mother and I wanted to help my brother who has just taken an OD through depression. After only one session with Mrs. Phyll Robson I felt able to cope with the loss of my Mother and lots of other stress in my life.I was very skeptical but IT WORKS!!" Christine F.

"All feelings lowered to a 2 and I feel just great and looking forward to getting on with my life with a positive state of mind, knowing I have all the tools at my finger tips and resources to help myself." Paula

"I watched the video demonstration and just tried it out (not sure what to expect) and it worked, I couldn't believe it.  Thanks."
Chris De Buyser, Wuustwezel, Belgium (Europe)

Anxiety: "I have bi-polar disorder and am using tapping to relieve stress; it has been helpful!" Pete

"After the online training, pain in my shoulder/arm/hand went from a 8 to a .5." Ian A

Stress, anxiety,fear, high blood pressure, headaches: "To my complete amazement the techniques work almsot immediately, especially when repeated. At first I was skeptical that something that looked so simple was so effective." Evelyn R.

Stress from money concerns: "This morning I woke up with a headache at about 5 1/2 on the SUD scale. I did my morning anxiety and stress reducing exercise and the simple trauma algorithms and my headache went to a 3. I went through the sequence again and it went to a 1."

"I am a mother, a wife, a Registered Nurse and also a coach for a girls youth basketball team and am really hoping to use TFT to help others. I recently used TFT on one of my patients suffering from bulemia. She had just "purged" and unfortunately I was limited with both time and understanding of TFT. I was able to have her "tap" the sequence and her anger went from a 10 to an 8! but then my shift ended and i do not go back to work for about 1 week so i am unsure how my patient is at this time. I have read the free guide and am excited to use it to help myself and to help others. I am interested in attending the "boot camp" in June (montreal) and will most likely purchase the "boot camp" home program this month. i would like to be officially qualified to use TFT with my patients." Liza S.

Phobia: "I tried it yesterday going over a bridge. I did the phobia tapping a few times before going  over the bridge. I even looked at the water. I felt so good. Thank you." Lily

EXHAUSTION. TRAUMA, BROKEN HEART, NEGATIVITY, SADNESS, EMPTINESS,  ANGER, DEPRESSION: "Well I have had some improvement, but have a long way to go, as I have years of stuff. I did a TFT course about 4 years ago, I actually rang your office and forgot the time difference and Dr Callahan answered the phone and told me it was very unusual for him to be there at that time and that he had just dropped in to pick something up. He said he would email me with the cost of doing a phone consult. I was so excited it gave me hope. But at that time I could not afford to do it plus I had a terrible phone line and as my voice is very croaky and raspy and weak due to Trauma when I was 14 through to 15 as well as a childhood in a toxic home. I never replied, I guess I sabotaged myself. I have been struggling all that time and only recently started looking into it again and have recently emailed Dr Bray and had some encouraging replies from him which I was extremely thankful for."
Robyn J.

"I am a long time user of TFT, having attended courses in Perth, Western Australia in 2003 and 2004 with Eugene Piccinotti.  At the time I was the coach of our State's National  High Performance( Olympic) Diving program and used TFT to deal with issues of fear and anxiety associated with our sport.

"While I am sure that everyone thought I was nuts at the time, TFT had immediate results with athletes previously in able to overcome fears and with their stress levels associated with competition.

The greatest personal  benefit, apart from helping friends and family over the years, has been the ability to control the intensity of migraine headaches.  I had suffered severe migraine from the age of 15 with debilitating pain, visual disturbance and illness.  At it's worst, a migraine could see me hospitalized, or unable to function for up to 3 days. By tapping at the first signs of migraine I am now able to prevent the worst symptoms and function pretty normally, with only a mild headache for a few hours.

I have successfully helped people overcome trauma, phobias, anxiety, jet lag....the list goes on.... I give thanks to my friend, Romano Tomino, for bullying me into to attending the first TFT Seminar, without whom I would never have been exposed to the life-changing techniques of Dr. Roger Callahan." Raelene L

Fear of the dark, and being alone anywhere: "was on a trip to see my family and friends in kuwait. i when for group meditation. One smart hansom man mentioned something about TFT so i asked if he can help me withe my fear , and he did. Next i just couldn't believe what happened, i did not think about anything before going to bed, and i slept,. I woke up in the morning fresh happy till know. its gone. i tried it on my friend and it worked too. Wow i am really very happy. Thank you Thank you Thank you"
Salam Hahn

"I looked at EFT and the tapping made sense but I wanted more background info. After downloading your free guide I was lead to visit our local bookstore and purchase TAPPING THE HEALER WITHIN. Great book, I could relate to your frustration with "the system" and am so grateful you keep looking for alternative solutions. Just as I was ready to start tapping and recording SUDs my husband came along and wanted to know about TFT. He has diabetic neuropathy accompanied by other health problems. The pain is under control with the usual meds except when there are fluctuations in the weather. During these times he is in agony for days on end and nothing relieves the pain. I read from the book to answer his questions. Now he is looking forward to making a plan for using TFT. Although I haven't started tapping using the Callahan method I know what it feels like from my EFT experiments but the whole time I was reading the book I felt an uplifting energy surrounding me. Thanks for sharing TFT algorithms." Myrna

"I am crisis councilor (and psychology lecturer). At first I´d read (three time:) step by step) a book "Tapping The Healer Within" (in Estonian). And some days ago I was in Kevin Laye very interesting seminar in Tallinn. After that I start search more internet info. (I´m sorry about my bad English, I´m working only in Estonian and In Russian.)  I have already been practicing with 11 people and 8 of those practices have been very successful. With one person I have problem - this lady is very interesting about TFT, but I can´t help her - answer all the time "Nothing happened." (problem is anxiety by client words, but I must find something more). Very-very successfully was TFT tapping, when I helped a 63 years man, whom ached tooth. After 20 min tapping ache was lost. I heard only one sentence "It can´t be."  Tiina N.

"I tapped on the karate edge of hand plus under eyes, under arm and at clavicle spots. I was superbly surprised and pleased as in ten minutes the upset had passed, I was laughing and singing. That was two days ago and the bad feelings have not returned even though I have had to deal with getting then fuel pump replaced.. It worked like Kevin said it would! Thank you so very much Dr. Callahan for such a simple, powerful emotional booster technique. It's kind of like the Heimlich maneuver for feelings." Leon P

"I have been using the tapping for anxiety and the breathing exercises and it has been vert helpful. It is amazing to experience that the intense negative feeling just disappears, it just dissolves and i find myself laughing in relief. I have bought the book tapping the body's energy pathways and i am looking forward to testing more knowledge about this wonderful easy treatment. Thank you, for giving me this fantastic tool." Ellen B

"I was excited about a new form of selling at my job. I began the tapping process and I gradually began to calm and make sales I never thought I could." Shirley H

"Originally, I had severe anxiety over various issues. TFT worked wonders for me, and now I use it frequently in my alternative healing practice. It has helped so many of my clients. TFT is awesome - thank you! EFT seems to be superficial, but what I found is that TFT reaches the core of the problem and heals it permanently.  Whenever I meet someone who is using EFT, I immediately tell them about TFT and how it heals on a deep level." Marilyn C.

"I am looking for help removing my blocks that hold me back from achieving financial wealth. I have achieved periods of calm and relief from anxiety related to my lack mentality. Also found the video EXTREMELY helpful. PLEASE post more videos or send links to more videos as I found it most useful. Wonderful to follow along with." Adriana

"My experience was as like peeling an onion; peeling bad emotions off of my inner self. I now feel "lighter" and even more positive than ever before! TFT now helps me on a day-to-day basis to restore healthy energy flow when needed. Thank you for this awesome technique " Tarjei S.

Smoking and stress: "Learning a different way to control stress and a way that is very easy to do has made a very important and positive impact on my health and life. No longer smoke and feel a lot more confident in my abilities" Steve P

"Instant relief, and calm. Simply amazing!" Janie

"Before I went to work I glanced at the website and implemented the steps and it became a very useful tool.  I started implementing the steps when I found myself in lots of traffic on my way to work. I am so glad that I knew what to do. Thank you." Adreienne B.

"Felt better after tapping.Routine a bit different to the EFT I'm accustomed to, but I find TFT more credible. Probably because this is the foundation of tapping." Anrea

"I have used TFT in my daily life.  I have seen it help friends identify things they are sensitive to, reducing anxiety and stress.  I intend to continue to explore TFT more for myself." Joanne M.

The need for simple, effective self-help ways to heal is growing every day. Disasters, wars, uprisings, and turbulent economies around the world all contribute to our levels of anxiety, stress and poor health. TFT, the original source of tapping, continues to meet the healing needs of many people, through our expanding trainings, self-help products and humanitarian relief.

A clear example of this need was seen in Cairo, Egypt in the last few months. The chair and secretary of our UK ATFT Foundation, Dr. Howard Robson and his wife Phyll were in Cairo as Dr. Robson was doing some consulting work for the Royal College. Phyll told me she was using TFT daily as they heard gun shots and witnessed the horrors of the events unfolding outside their hotel room. We are so glad they have now returned home to the UK safely. They will be leading our TFT Foundations’ trauma relief mission to Uganda later this year.

We are very excited as we provide TFT to more people, in additional languages and countries in 2012. Early this year we launched our Spanish web site. And now, our TFT Boot Camp Self-Study package is being translated into Spanish and will be available by the end of March.

We are cooperating with local, established organizations in other countries to make TFT available to their countries.

As we expand TFT in the Spanish language, Fr. Luis Jorge Gonzalez will be giving the first TFT Boot Camp in Mexico City in June. TFT can be a wonderful tool for the people of Mexico to help with the trauma and fear from the widespread violence that is occurring.

This summer we will be expanding further into Canada, working with our one of our new Boot Camp trainers, John Steuernol, to provide TFT in the greater Toronto area. Dr. Bob Bray will be working with him to offer an algorithm level training, and then we will provide a Boot Camp and Optimal Health training for those wanting to learn Voice Technology.

Then, we are off to Sao Paolo, Brazil. We are working with an excited TFT practitioner and local institutions to bring a TFT Boot Camp and an Optimal Health training to Brazil. It will be our first time to visit this country and we are delighted for the opportunity...

On the home front, please join us, and many other TFT practitioners, at the annual ACEP conference this June in San Diego, CA. I will be speaking, and we will have many family members, grandchildren and one beautiful great-grandchild sharing the beautiful weather with us. Click here to take register.

Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal’s Corporate section warned about the stress of our workplace environments, citing “Burnout” or “frankly burned out” for some early retirements.  One of the articles says the stress and pressure has increased significantly due to globalization, stiffer competition, government regulation and the weak economy.  They say executive recruiters even measure a candidate’s ability to handle stress.

While these articles reference stress on the CEO’s of major corporations, we all face these same stressors to some degree.

Add to these daily stressors and  we have a potential for burn out at many levels, manifesting in anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, hopelessness, depression, sleeplessness and fatigue among other symptoms.  All of these negative emotions affect our immune system and our ability to fight off the winter flues, colds and viruses. And, our workplace productivity suffers.

What can we do about it? The article briefly mentions exercise as an important release for stress,  but offers no other suggestions short of removing oneself from the job.  Most of us are not in a position to retire.  We need a simple, daily routine to help reduce or eliminate the stress in our lives.

Dr. Roger Callahan developed a daily stress relief program using Thought Field Therapy (meridian tapping) that has given much relief to many over the last two decades.  It is a simple guide that only takes minutes to do.  Our users have given us feedback on the relief they are experiencing, better sleep, less anxiety, reduced anger and even better relationships.

See what others have already experienced:

“I am experiencing a serenity and greater sense of calm. I felt a soothing warmth flood throughout my body the first time I applied the techniques.”

“Helped me to relax”

“TFT is a good source for me to continue to practice daily. It's helped me tremendously. Thank you so much!!! ”

“…I am extremely sleep deprived and have been using TFT to help me calm down before exploding outwards at my family. I am sure my husband and children are as grateful for TFT as I am.”

“Almost immediately I felt a since of well-being. I am a massage therapist and I am excited about including this in my practice.”

“…after doing the technique the first time, I immediately felt more relaxed and focused.”

….”stress (clenching teeth to the point my whole back jaw was painful.)”

“2 days now and no pain,and no clenching plan on purchasing the self-help course in the near future.”

“…stress reduction, better sleep”

“LESS TENSION AND A SENSE OF INNER CENTREDNESS AND BALANCE WHICH LASTS BUT NEEDS TO BE RE-ENFORCED WITH ANOTHER SESSION”

“I'm having some relationship issues. I found the tapping helpful with dealing with the anxiety. I'm eating too much of the wrong foods because of it.”

“these techniques center my soul and remove negative thought patterns so I am able to focus on the things I want in my life rather than the things I don't”

These tapping procedures can help you gain emotional freedom, relief from stress and many other negative emotions.  They are free, on our web site, www.RogerCallahan.com.  Prevent stress burnout and get your copy of our free Daily Stress Busting Program.

Solving the Mystery; By Suzanne Connolly, TFT-Dx

At a recent Conference on Panic Attacks, a speaker presented as a fact, that panic attacks do not have their origin in past trauma.

Speaker after speaker asserted that there is currently no cure for Panic Attack Disorder.

While there are undoubtedly cases where this is true, I find that in most cases this upset in the sympathetic nervous system is rooted in past trauma and of course, with Thought Field Therapy is curable.

The following case study offers just one example.

Yolanda's panic attacks were keeping her from her job as head of housekeeping at a nearby resort, and from her second job of babysitting her friend's children, and from participating in life in general. She had been referred by her Physician and I began taking a history in an effort to find some specific sources of anxiety to address.

Being around small children seemed to precipitate the majority of Yolanda's recent panic attacks. Being home alone at night, being around knives, seeing young girls at the resort where she worked, and driving at night seemed to trigger others.

The panic attacks began immediately after Yolanda had seen a news story on television where two young girls had been kidnapped and murdered. A search party had found the girls' bodies lying in a field. The murder weapon had been a knife.

Before seeing the news story Yolanda had experienced only two panic attacks. Once while in Mexico, visiting her native village, she and her husband had taken a long drive to a forested area. It was nightfall when they finally arrived and Yolanda could not get out of the car to examine the forest.

A car had happened to be following them; Yolanda felt like she was fighting for her life as she screamed until her husband turned around and drove back to their village. She remembers her pounding heart and the feeling of unmistakable danger.

On another occasion, while visiting her mother at her families' ranch in Mexico, her mother's big dog attacked a neighbor's small dog. Again: the pounding heart, the absolute terror.

Yolanda remembers nothing of her childhood before the age of nine. Her first memory is a memory of being on a bus with her mother and younger brother headed to California. She remembers everything about California: living a year with her aunt, the trips to the beach, getting toys, cloths, and attention. Everything seemed good and peaceful and normal. Yolanda tells of her year in California as if it were a story from a fairy tale.

After she and her mother and her younger brother returned to Mexico, it was different. Yolanda's father had never accepted her. Her mother told her it was because he didn't like girls. (But later, a younger sister was born and the younger girl was treated, Yolanda says, like a princess.)

Her three older brothers were allowed to treat Yolanda harshly. She was not allowed to eat with the family and had to go outside when everyone else ate. She would sit on the roof and look at the stars, or sometimes; she would visit the homes of neighbors who would give her something to eat. When the family was finished eating, Yolanda's mother would make her a small tortilla filled with leftovers.

Yolanda would then clean up and do the dishes. Later Yolanda was required to cook the dinner as well. But still she would be banished from the home while the family ate. Often her brothers would throw the family cat on her food and play other pranks. Yolanda says she didn't think anything was unusual at the time; "It was just the way it was."

I ask Yolanda about a scar that runs up her arm. She says that it happened when she was about eighteen months old. Her mother has told her that her brothers accidentally cut her with a knife. Her mother had reportedly heard Yolanda yelling and when she found Yolanda, there was blood running down her arm.

Yolanda and I wonder aloud if this could be related to the anxiety round knives that appeared after she watched the tragic news story on the television.

Although Yolanda had been experiencing multiple panic attacks a day; at the time of our initial session, she could not bring up the feelings of panic during that first meeting. There was only anxiety about the panic. I had Yolanda just think about the panic attacks while we did Thought Field Therapy using Diagnostics.

Yolanda reported feeling much calmer during the week prior to our second session. However, she reported that some of the panic returned when, at work, she witnessed a little girl running from the creek to the parking lot. I shared with Yolanda what I was beginning to see more clearly. Since seeing the news story, the sight of a small vulnerable child seemed to precipitate a majority of her recent panic attacks.

Even babysitting her friend’s children had been a source of panic.

And there was the panic attack she experienced in Mexico several years ago when the large dog attacked the smaller dog. I asked Yolanda to think about what had happened when she was a baby, although she couldn’t remember it consciously and had only heard the story.

Once again, we did Thought Field Therapy at the Diagnostic level.

It is our third session and Yolanda reports having experienced a few mild panic attacks. She says they are much less frequent and her heart does not pound as rapidly. We talk about not remembering her childhood before the trip to California.

Based on what she does remember of her life in Mexico after the age of ten, we can safely surmise that her earlier unremembered years were also quite difficult.

I have her simply think about her life during those years, even though there are no conscious memories. I muscle test her saying “think of being between one and two years old”, etc.

When I find weaknesses indicating perturbations - we use Thought Field Therapy.

During that same session and after doing some tapping, Yolanda suddenly remembers a man from her village that had a baby. He is her parent’s neighbor. Her parents were the Godparents of the baby, but Yolanda gets a really creepy feeling whenever he visits. She has never liked him. She doesn’t know why. We use Thought Field Therapy as she thinks about this man.

Yolanda has also brought along a knife. She takes it out of her purse. It is thickly swaddled in a white paper towel. She cannot bear to look at it even in its sarcophagus and she grimaces as she hands it to me.

By the end of the session and after addressing the knife phobia using Thought Field Therapy, Yolanda can look at the knife even when I leave the room and she is alone. At the end of our session, she picks up the knife entombs it once again in its mummy wrappings and smiles as she places it in her purse.

Yolanda arrives at the office smiling. It is now our fourth session.

She has been chopping vegetables and she can open the drawer in the kitchen at work that houses the knives. As head housekeeper, counting the knives is one of her kitchen duties.

Yolanda reports that there is still a trace of squeamishness but it is not debilitating her or restricting her activities. Again, she takes the knife out of her bag but this time she, herself, unwraps it from its paper-towel cocoon.

She smiles as if the knife were an emerging butterfly. We use Thought Field Therapy as Yolanda concentrates on the remaining traces of her knife anxiety.

Fifth session; and there is still a little queasiness around knives. But Yolanda reports that its manageable and today she wants to talk about something else. She has been having no panic attacks; however a few days ago she awoke from a long sleep feeling extremely anxious. She had been working hard and had slept late. As we searched for clues Yolanda volunteered that there was a lot of work to do around the house that day and because she slept late it might not get done. If it wasn’t done, someone might get angry and she would be in trouble.

At home, Yolanda would not be able to go to school until her chores were completed. After school she could not do her homework until her chores were completed. If her chores were not done to her mother’s satisfaction, she would call Yolanda “Lazy” and her mother wouldn’t speak to her for several days.

We did Thought Field Therapy while Yolanda stayed in touch with her anxiety around not getting everything done.

At the end of the session she could think of chores uncompleted and feel at peace. We still have a few minutes and we again address the little bit of remaining uneasiness around knives.

Sixth session: and Yolanda is feeling good and things feel normal again. Her Doctor has given her the go ahead to gradually go off her anxiety medication.

There are two remaining issues that Yolanda requests we address. There is still uneasiness when driving by herself at night in open spaces. And, relating to knives, she says that there is still a feeling like a “chill that passes across my chest” when she is around knives.

It is very slight she says, “almost like a memory”.

Today we address the phobia of driving alone at night through large open spaces. This is a long- standing anxiety. This anxiety preceded her recent episode of panic attacks. By the end of our session, Yolanda reports feeling comfortable with the thought of driving at night alone through open spaces.

Seventh session: Yolanda has had no re-occurrences of panic attacks even though she has completely stopped her medication. Things are very close to normal. Yolanda’s father now lives close to her in a neighboring town. She miraculously loves him and holds no grudges. She takes care of him to a greater extent than do her three older brothers who live with him or close to him.

On one occasion, since our last session, Yolanda drove her father through open spaces at night, and although there was some anxiety there was no panic and she did not have to turn her car around and go back. She thinks life is good once again.

After just a little more work, Yolanda has remained free of anxiety and panic for nearly a year. She no longer sends money and gifts to her mother in Mexico who never thanks her and has no time to talk to her. She no longer does what ever her older brothers ask her to do. When she hears herself set limits with others she laughs and says “Who is this? Is this me?

Addressing past trauma, even unremembered past trauma has not only eliminated all panic attacks and traces of anxiety.

Thought Field Therapy has helped Yolanda learn to take care of herself and to realize that her needs too are important.

We've had great success with those suffering from this phobia.. including Whoopi Goldberg.

Real People Reveal How Thought Field Therapy® Heals Trauma, Anxiety and Disease.

To all the Thought Field Therapy practitioners around the world who have helped hurting and despairing people recover their lives, this book is dedicated to you. -Roger and Joanne Callahan

For the past 30 years, a simple technique called Thought Field Therapy has been rapidly healing negative emotions such as trauma and anxiety—and even disease—for people who are desperate to regain wellness and normalcy in their lives.

What started as a simple therapeutic treatment to stimulate the body’s own healing systems through the identification of a specific code and then tapping this code on various points of the body—using the same system Chinese acupuncturists do—has become a mainstream therapy accepted by medical doctors, psychologists, alternative healthcare practitioners and even military mental-health personnel.

Thousands of people have recovered rapidly from troublesome disorders like insomnia, gout or tinnitus. Others have eliminated stress, anxiety and phobias such as fear of flying and fear of public speaking—literally within minutes. Still others with life-threatening cancer have completely reversed the disease. Hundreds have regained their lives by curbing addictive urges for nicotine, controlled substances or obsessive behaviors. And those suffering the aftereffects of trauma—warfare, rape, injury or loss—have instantly removed the horrible emotions and feelings tied to that event which previously controlled their lives, sometimes for decades.

But while hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have proven that Thought Field Therapy (or “TFT”) is the most effective tool available for rapidly improving one’s physical and mental health—surprisingly, millions of consumers still suffering from illness, stress, depression and trauma have yet to even hear of it.

That, we believe, is about to change.

With the stories in this book, you’ll see for yourself how other people—perhaps with the same disorder or limiting behavior that you have—have used TFT to instantly calm the stress, eliminate the fears and phobias, erase what’s holding them back from success, and begin the process of healing, both physically and psychologically.

You’ll read stories from soldiers, housewives, retirees, teachers, sports trainers, doctors, veterinarians and corporate executives. You’ll discover how TFT works for babies, athletes, bombing victims, war refugees, teenagers, even horses and dogs. You’ll celebrate with stroke victims, heart patients, mothers-to-be, young children and others as they find relief and recovery.

And you’ll read stories from the TFT practitioners themselves who, every day, treat clients from all walks of life.

Within these stories, perhaps you’ll see a little of your own life—a similar disorder or past trauma or controlling behavior that could be eliminated easily, painlessly and rapidly with TFT.

In 2011, we focused on expansion of our live training programs throughout the world, for both the personal use of TFT as well as the use of TFT in helping others. This year, we are expanding to the Spanish language in Mexico, Spain and South America.

We've also created new products and training for all levels of TFT. The ATFT Foundation, continues to provide humanitarian relief, research and education around the world. We'll also be releasing the ATFT foundation documentary demonstrating the model for large-scale trauma relief using TFT.

Now that I am confident in the future success of TFT, I've decided that it's a good time to make one last change.

After sharing TFT with the world for over 32 years, I'll will be stepping back from the day-to-day operations to enjoy spending more time with my 8 grandchildren, and pursuing my hobbies of reading and enjoying the outdoors.

I'll continue on as Chairman of The Board for Callahan Techniques, and will no longer be involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. My wife and partner, Joanne, who has worked with me the past 23 years, will continue to keep TFT growing. I am fully confident that Joanne, and our the team of exceptional TFT trainers and advisors,  will continue to make Thought Field Therapy the leading tapping therapy.

As a retirement gift, the TFT staff gave me a booklet called "The Past & Future of TFT" that was touching, to say the least. I thank all of the practitioner and trainers who submitted stories in the booklet.

I would like to share it with you.

In the audio below, Joanne explains how TFT works and how it has spawned so many variations of tapping therapy.

It's a great discussion on the history of Thought Field Therapy, how it works and what the differences are between TFT and EFT.

Joanne Callahan On EFT and TFT

We welcome former Gary Craig  Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioners to TFT.
TFT offers advanced EFT Algorithms to help overcome specific challenges!

The January 2012 Issue of Bottom Line Health reminds us of the importance of minimizing stress. They remind us of the negative effects stress and cortisol (the stress hormone) have on our hearts. And, they state that on-going, low-level stress, from work, relationships, finances and even chronic health problems can increase inflammation in our arteries, increasing our risk of heart disease.

The article tells us of new research in a study of nearly 1000 men, showed that those who experienced three or more major stressful life events in a single year, had a 50% higher risk of dying in a 30-year period.

All of the following physical and health related concerns are negatively effected by stress:

• Increased blood sugar
• Physical pain
• Impaired memory
• Weight gain
• Sleep difficulties
• Anxiety

Tapping is a simple and effective way to melt away stress on a daily basis. It even helps to normalize the cortisol levels in our body. You don’t need to let the effects of our fast-paced, stressful lives, chip away at your good health and well-being.

We provide a free Daily Stress Busting Guide on our web site, www.RogerCallahan.com. The reports we receive on a daily basis show it is effective and helpful to many.

Let me share what some of those who have already tried this, have experienced:

I followed the guide and when I finished doing the tapping I felt very calm and felt great.

I found my stress levels lowered and I began to think about other things

I felt more peaceful around my thoughts and my sleep improved.

Instant relief and better energy flow.

For the first time in months this feeling in the stomach area, like someone is gripping my stomach and squeezing was gone. I have just felt stuck and doomed. Since the TFT I feel like I have a chance at my dreams still.

I work for the US military in Afghanistan and my job can be difficult I work in the mountains and at time injuries occur, but we just suck it up... and move on.
I was on my day off and was looking at some web sites when I came across some story of a person who had used TFT and gave details etc...I thought about this and I decided to try it for myself in the cover of my room..I then went to bed and fell into a deep sleep..in the morning I had to do a 5 mile run..so off I went a little time into my run I realized I had no pain in my knee...when I got back to my room I thought about it and decided and try it on my energy level...to my amazement I felt incredible..and since that very first time I used TFT on my knee I have never had any more pain also I have got into the habit of using it every day and I am amazed by the constant results I have decided to learn all I c an and I hope to be a Trainer of this amazing system.

I would tell everyone to try it for themselves asap it is incredible.

I was on my way to work one morning following my divorce. I had an anxiety attack and I almost had to pull off the road. I felt like I couldn't go to work in this state and be able to function. I remembered being shown this technique at work. Even though I could not remember the exact pattern of the tapping in desperation to resolve this crisis, I began the process and within 5 minutes I was able to go on to work and work a full and complete day.

Wonderful results. Addictions are no longer taking a hold and I have noticed a difference in people’s attitude and general outlook.

Have been using tft for three weeks and i feel great. mind is clear and severe pain from arthritis in knees has almost completely gone.

This next one clearly shows how important it is to treat past traumas and current traumas as they develop in our lives.

I witnessed a very horrible event 30 years ago. Since then I have experience other events that compounded the problem. I was treated as a volunteer during a teleclass. The treatment has s been very successful. I use the PR for reversal when I get a bad feeling. This is the best I've felt since the incidents over the past 30 yrs. Thank you for your help.

These people were all helped, and for a variety of problems, with just our free stress guide. It helped, pain, addiction, stress, sleep, nausea, energy levels and more.
