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.

I'll be reading the comments as they come in.

Thanks for all of your support over the years,

Everyone that gets the guide is asked to let us know how tapping therapy has worked for them. We do this for a few reasons. First is to make sure that we are providing instructions that are easy to follow, as second is that we like to hear from all of the TFT family.

Over the course of this year we have received over 1,000 surveys from our TFT readers, and we'd like to share some of the surprising results.

Here is a sampling of the results people are getting with Thought Field Therapy®... from just the past 2 weeks.

Feel better about myself. Didn't realize that the trauma of my mothers sudden death in front of me when I was 3 yrs old had affected me for the next 55 years.

I PURCHASED YOUR BOOK, TAPPING THE HEALER WITHIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP SMOKING AFTER JUST ONE SESSION.

Instant relief, and calm. Simply amazing!

After I performed the tapping technique i absolutely forgot about the stress I was dealing with. I just couldn't stop laughing!

I applied just the bare beginning meaning finding out what to tap and in what sequence and I right away experienced a positive turn - especially the Reversal taps!  Amazing!

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.

I feel calmer, I have been tapping everyday for the past three days, everytime I think of it. Helps to put myself in better space, would like to have it specific to my personal needs, think the results will be phenomenal.

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.

I used TFT to relieve me of stress during my workday.  During breaks, I would tap and think about the stress leaving my body.  It helped me enormously and I was able to breather better, relax and enjoy my time at work!  Thanks for this valuable tool.  I love that I don't even need anything but my own hands to take stress away!  It worked immediately and the effects lasted a long time.  I plan to use this as often as I need to whenever necessary.  Thanks!

Kevin suggested your site as one of the means of getting rid of anxieties and negativities. When I downloaded the TFT self help I read it through. The next morning I took my usual walk on my 'attitude hill' where i talk to myself and run things over in my mind and I found myself tapping whenever I found myself  On the hill this morning i found myself tapping each time i took a deep breath and feeling better and better with each thought. I plan to get as deep into TFT as i can and use it daily. Thanks for being there for me.

I'm doing the collarbone breathing two or three times a day - I thought at first it was great, but I think I have a problem with trusting my own efforts - I'm also using Susan Hansen's meridian balancing video.  The two together seem to be working quite well.

Another interesting experience is with my son who is 25 years old software engineer. One day we were playing badminton at 6 am when he asked me to rush back to home. When we came home he removed his T shirt. I could see red rashes like swollen lumps all over his body. He was scratching his body and in pain. We did not have any medicine so my wife went to neighbors to ask if they have any. At that early hours doctors would not have opened their dispensaries neither the medical stores. So I suggested him TFT. I did one NLP exercise with him followed by TFT. By that time my wife came with neighbors, four ladies precise. Our exercise was on. To their (and also mine) astonishment the rashes simply disappeared and itching sensation stopped. They could not believe their eyes. Since then TFT (I knew EFT then) has become integral part of my counseling."

The guide helps me every day as I am a truck driver. The stresses of the road are now met with a smile and a friendly wave rather than the "rage" I used to dish out.

I received the download and I gave it a try, the result to be honest was not as instant for me as it was for other people but while I was laying down and starting thinking about my 1 million again I actually started to feel something again I actually feel excited about it now i feel more excited about even feeling excited then the actual money. Thank you very very much I would like to know what in my way if it really was depression or maybe stress i never heard of stress or depression preventing to feel emotions. After a few rounds. My levels of anxiety dropped. I felt much calmer and relaxed.

I feel like a big load has been lifted from my mind.I feel more positive.I feel good about the the future.I'm not sure about trust I think I can make it.

"I usually wake up in the middle of the night and during that period I will experience a panic attack of some kind. The attack will range from mild to extreme where I'm pacing back and forth in my bedroom freaking out. Two nights ago I tried the free download. I would say it was a medium range with a knot in my stomach. I performed the anxiety release which lessened the panic but not the knot. Then performed the chest breathing and anxiety release again after. The knot was still there but was reduced and so was the anxiety.  Last night I experience a milder attack and performed the anxiety release. This calmed me down significantly. I was laying there in bed thinking and I realize just how calm and relaxed is was, this took me by surprise. Very helpful! Thank you I am surprised and grateful!!!

"I have had many traumas in my 43 years of life and a very recent one that I couldn't get out of my head.  Each night I would lay down to sleep and relive the experience. Since practicing The Callahan TFT and collar bone breathing, I have truly not THOUGHT about my ""traumatic experience"", accepted it as something that was meant to be and forgiven myself.  I am just a beginner, but plan on learning more and more about TFT, it's simple, free and best of all - it works!  Thank you Dr. and JoAnne Callahan.  I can't wait to learn more.

I was amazed at how tft took such heavy, and emotional events and lifted it out of my physiology. I was floored that in just minutes I had achieved a level of emotional freedom that I had never experienced. Lengthy periods of other forms of treatment never really helped. I felt so stuck and lost emotionally before tft came into my life. When I began to use TFT a feel good, so that is the reason that I believe in that.

I have belonged to a networking group for 2 years, but I still get nervous when I do my presentations. After doing the Algorithm I felt more at ease. only did it once for the stress, it felt good at the time, have to try for the others and do it more often It helped me get a new focus.  One more of positive feelings.

I had a great result with a therapist a few years ago resolving a traumatic event with TFT, so I wanted to try it for weight loss. I discovered my core issue which is abandonment. (which I knew was an issue I had, but didn't realize consciously how it related to eating until doing some TFT on this issue). Since it has only been a few days, I don't have any weight loss results to report, but know I feel confident that I can work on my "core issue" and let go of trying to lose weight. Because I was just sabotaging myself anyway. I suppose it kept my mind focused on that and away from the painful core issue. Now I know that I'm so stressed out because I'm trying so hard to keep up appearances (that I was sabotaging anyway), to keep from being abandoned. That's not a very self-loving way to live. The belief is that I myself am not lovable, but if I try I can be what I think is lovable - which is a stressed out mess and not actually fun to be around. My husband fell in love with me in high school when I had no fear of being myself, now I'm so far away from that person that is stuffed deep down inside and pushed further down with food perhaps. I can't even speak in a very loud volume because everything is stuffed so deep that I'm actually choking. I really need to release all those deep, stuffed away emotions (fear, anger, sadness). Now I feel like I can consciously think about it and do TFT. Wish me luck!

As a Somatic Intuitive Training Practitioner I will find these useful in my work. "

By using the tapping, I've immediately been able to reduce the weight of axiety or any emotional distress all together.

I've only tried it a couple times & my anger related to the trauma was lessened. My goal is to practice this often so that I can master it & completely overcome my obstacles.

It is difficult to avoid negative people when that energy is present in a family member (i.e. where you just cannot "walk away" from the negative/cold attitude)as one could when encountering such in non-family persons.  This seems to be a method to stop my bad emotions (anxiety, stress) to undesirable attitudes in my environment that simply cannot be avoided out of respect and love for the other person.  I realize that I control my thoughts, and thoughts control my emotions but some emotion just triggers faster than I can control.  This method appears to help after the emotions are triggered.  I'm interested in learning more and might explore the book.

I was still thinking about the past conversation and the feelings associated with that from many years ago in the past, and this method helped me to take my mind off and kind of like "changing the channel."

It works magically!

I'm not sure if I'm even doing the technique correctly. The little video really helped because I'm more of a visual person. I don't have access to the computer 24/7 but last night I tried it out from what I could remember. I went to sleep and slept ALL night (usually I get up at least three times during the night). I even woke up this morning feeling good. That, in itself, is amazing because I usually sleep until after noon. So I'm just gonna keep practicing what has been offered. Thank you SO much!!!

The tapping techniques do seem to help quite immediately...although I've only recently started utilizing them, I believe they are a big help and a simple way to naturally aid in "re-wiring" the human mind for the better. I'm glad I discovered the techniques, and thank you!

I have less stress. Each day I complete TFT techniques your guide taught and now my stress is gradually lowering little by little which means my Fibromyalgia symptoms are less too. Getting better daily! Thank you!

"Pleasant release of energies that have been causing me stress for quite a while.  I am doing the work on a daily basis and feel good about what I have seen so far. I have been using these techniques for less than 2 weeks."

For almost 14 days I have not taken the 5mg blood pressure tablets.  Generally, I relax and take a reading on my blood pressure monitor.  When a more desirable reading is my goal, then I apply the TFT techniques before the next test.  I'm very excited with my results.  On 7/17/2001 I'll visit my doctor and show her the results of my readings.  It will be interesting to hear her view on my status, especially since I am so against drug medication.

I had already been shown TFT by my therapist to help me ease stress, but mainly for each time I felt like a cigarette and The craving went away instantly.

I am in a CISM training and the facilitator gave your name to look TFT up.  We tried it and it worked for me for stress, and what I found interesting was that I didn't crave a cigarette for 4 hrs, very amazing.

I have wanted to be a Healer for decades and you have provided the tools for me to do that.  I have implemented the techniques according to your book and found it so simple, easy to use and most of all, astounded by the results in such a short space of time, just mind blowing, it feels like some kind of trickery is going on.  I have used the techniques on myself and my family, and achieved 90% success rate.  Considering I am only just beginning to use and learn about these techniques, this is nothing less than incredible. I'm so excited by the results, I am signing up for the boot camp training here in Australia in June 2011, in addition when I can afford it, I will most definitely be doing the advanced training and my ultimate goal is to undertake the VT Training.  My passion is just sizzling with excitement.  Thank you Dr Callahan for providing the world with your knowledge and wisdom, we need more people like you on our troubled planet.  Many blessing to your and your team.

We'd like to hear your story.

Let us know how TFT worked for you!

Many individuals attend our TFT Boot Camps, from all walks of life, either for personal or professional use. Often, those with a currently existing practice, have questions about how they can successfully integrate TFT into their existing practice. So, whenever we receive a case study from someone who has quickly and successfully done this, we like to share it with others.

Jacqueline Smilie is a long-time alternative health care practitioner skilled in EEG, NAET, EFT and others. When she came upon TFT, she was very excited about her results and came to a TFT Boot Camp. The following is an example of how she has integrated her new skills into her current practice.

In fact, she is so excited about her results with TFT and how empowering it is for her clients, she is hosting our January 2012 Boot Camp, in Redlands, CA, just to help make it convenient for her colleagues and clients.

Fear of EEG Neurofeedback ear clip

Jacqueline Smillie, TFT-Dx, Redlands, CA

For over a decade I have used EEG computers for brain training. It is surprising how many young children are quite anxious about putting the gentle electrode clip on their ears. Many children simply can’t be hooked up. I had tried various ways to lower their anxiety. Some would come in every week, sit in the chair holding the clip. I’d give them an ear clip to take home and play with.

These methods didn’t help. I’d let them hook up their parents; sit in a parent’s lap, etc. For many, the anxiety never dropped and the only option was to wait a few more years for them to outgrow their fear before we could train their brain.

Last week, a five year old boy came in for his first EEG session. He was familiar with my office and in fact, had watched his big sister train on many occasions. And yet as soon as he sat in the chair, he froze with fear. “Do you have to put that clip on my ear?”

“Yes, but only if you are okay with that. Are you scared to put it on your ear?” “Yes.”

His mother gave me permission to use TFT to lower his anxiety. He was reversed when he said, “I want to be free of this fear.” After he tapped the PR point, his tapping sequence was Gamut Point, Under Arm, Thumb. The SUD dropped from a 9.5 to a 7.

We treated another reversal and then did the Gamut Circuit, followed by the sequence. He smiled widely and reported that all fear was gone. He was ready to be hooked up. I had him finish with the Rapid Relaxation. We high-fived as his mother looked on in amazement.

As soon as I reached for the rubbing alcohol, used on the ear and scalp before applying the electrodes, he froze again. He said he was afraid the alcohol on his head might make him want to drink, something not allowed in his religion. After his mother’s permission, we treated him for that anxiety as well.

This time after tapping for his reversal, “I want to be free of this fear,” he tapped Under the Eye and Under his Arm. His SUD immediately dropped from 6 to non-detectable dropped. We finished with the Rapid Relaxation.

Anxiety eliminated, his first EEG session was calm, happy and stress free. Until TFT I had never found a reliable way to reduce ear clip and alcohol anxiety.

This week he returned for his second EEG training. I asked if he needed to do any TFT beforehand and he reported that he was ready to go. By the end of the first fifteen minutes he began to squirm a bit. We stopped. He said he was bored. I had him tap Under his Arm, the Gamut Circuit, Under his Arm. He settled down and had his best score, relaxed, focused and happy.

After hosting a boot camp in January, I will plan on becoming a trainer. I leaped at the chance to create a TFT Training Center for the Inland Empire for three reasons. First, after using various energetic healing modalities in thirty years of private practice, I found that TFT is the fastest, most effective, and elegant way to reduce and eliminate the energy of anxiety and trauma.

Equally important, TFT can be used by my clients for their own self-healing. I strive to help my clients develop trust in their Inner Voice. Giving clients the same TFT tools that I use in my practice creates greater self reliance and deeper trust in themselves. With this in mind, I "knew" that I had to create a training center for our local community.

In response to the large number of requests from people around the world who ask us how they can put the full power of Thought Field Therapy® into effect in their daily lives, we have created a new 2-day live workshop.

Our new live event–Tapping Into Health–will teach you how to combine the TFT tapping algorithms, or tapping sequences, for optimum results in you life.

The workshop will be throughout the year, where you'll learn:

• 30+ years of powerful TFT algorithms
• 35+ of our proven powerful tapping sequences for improving your quality of life.
• How to combine sequences for optimum results in your own life
• Objective self-testing of self-sabotage and blocks to healing and success
  – where you'll learn to identify and correct all of your blocks to well-being.

You'll also get a Tapping Into Health Guide that you'll be able to keep as a reference the techniques and tapping sequences for almost any challenge you'll face.

In this special workshop for anyone wanting to learn TFT in-depth, we'll even be sharing the self-testing and identification of toxins, as well as the neutralization protocols –previously only available to our advanced level TFT practitioners.

I am happy to announce the first of our team of Rwandans from the IZERE Center in Rwanda are arriving in Honolulu tonight.  The others will arrive later this week.

We are so very excited about this project as not only will four Rwandan TFT practitioners become trainers, spreading TFT far and wide in Africa, but many underprivileged in Hawaii as well as the clinics that serve them will benefit from TFT training and treatment during the month of September.

Using TFT to relieve the effects of trauma can open people to peace, compassion and community. It is the intention of the ATFT Foundation–to make trauma relief available on a global scale! You can learn more about the Foundation's work by clicking here,

We would like to ask for your help to cover some of the expenses in this far reaching project. As the air tickets were more costly than expected, and we have over run our budget.

We are seeking donations toward their food and incidentals while in Hawaii. If anyone can assist us with this, we can accept donations of any size. If you would even assist with one meal, it would make a huge difference for our guests from Rwanda. Donation form is found here.

Thank you all for your help with this sharing of TFT with those who need it. Please visit the The Izere Center (Hope Center) Byumba, Rwanda website for more information.

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 tapping sequence can also be used if you are facing trauma following a natural disaster.

Please share this with anyone you know that may be suffering from trauma.

We offered a series of five teleclasses, beginning last January and ending in November.  Each class had a 55-60 minute presentation on TFT and how to use it on yourself at the algorithm level.  Then, we ended each call with live demonstrations with TFT Voice Technology (VT) from Dr. Callahan.  This allowed participants to experience our most successful level of TFT, Voice Technology.  The live demonstrations lasted 20-45 minutes with the average time per class about 30 minutes.

We had 79 volunteers for these demonstrations.  Based on 300 minutes of total demonstration time and 79 volunteers, the average treatment time was a mere 3.797 minutes. This is just truly astounding.

During the classes, we worked on many types of problems.  We eliminated fears for things like driving, freeways, flying, bridges, tunnels, public speaking and even death.  We helped many get rid of cravings or addictive behaviors.  Some eliminated a desire for alcohol, others cigarettes and food, and we helped still others stop biting their nails, pulling hair or picking.

Others learned how to easily and quickly control their anger or rage and improve their relationships.

Many suffered the effects from past trauma and we were able to successfully stop the upset from these past events including accidents, abuse, loss of loved ones, or divorce and even for those who were a victim of a crime.

We had many wanting to learn tools to eliminate self-sabotage, negative thinking and obsessive worry.  They learned these tools during the presentation portion of the class and then many experienced relief from individual tapping sequences as volunteers.

Not only did we work with emotional and anxiety issues, we helped many physical problems as well. Everything from physical pain to digestive issues and even the loss of sense of smell responded to their tapping sequences.

It was heartwarming to hear the relief and change in those suffering from depression and even severe post-partum depression.

There were too many to list here but I wanted to convey the broad sense of what our participants accomplished in these classes.

Every volunteer responded to their sequences.  Some had their problems completely eliminated, others received the tools to continue to work on them and improve their quality of life.  There were only a few individuals that had a limited response in the brief time on the call.  But even they had the chance to experience TFT VT and see some immediate relief with hope for them to continue to improve.

They all received the recording of each class and an extensive workbook for future use.  They now have these tools and examples to continue improving their life, reducing fears, stress and trauma.

These popular teleclasses provided a wonderful, affordable way for all to have access to learning how to use TFT algorithms for themselves and get individual TFT VT tapping sequences directly from Dr. Callahan.

There are probably not many other healing modalities that can help such a wide variety of problems in such a brief time, under 4 minutes, and be safe, non-invasive and drug-free.  Come try it for yourself.

We will be continuing these popular classes this year.  They are a wonderful opportunity to experience the healing power of TFT for yourself.  This year our classes will have guest experts and address many specific or new areas of help.

Nearly 80 people volunteered and were treated in our tapping tele-classes...

When I tabulated the demonstration results from our new TFT tele-class series I was amazed. The number of people and variety of problems we worked with and helped, in a brief period of time following each class, was truly a tribute to the healing power of TFT.

We offered a series of five tele-classes, beginning last January and ending in November. Over 1,000 people attended the classes. Each class had a 55-60 minute presentation on TFT and how to use it on yourself at the algorithm level. Then, we ended each call with live demonstrations with TFT Voice Technology (VT) from Dr. Callahan. This allowed participants to experience our most successful level of TFT, Voice Technology.

In our effort to provide free trauma relief throughout the world, we now have our trauma algorithm available in sign language.  It will be posted on our trauma relief blog, along with the videos and print instructions in many languages.  It is Dr. Callahan’s goal, along with the ATFT Foundation, to provide free trauma relief to as many as possible in the world.

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

17 participants on the Fly Fearless flight take to the air after their seminar, which included a Thought Field Therapy.

See how they do...

The video was done by Michael Comyn of Fly Fearless in Ireland

Virgin Atlantic also has a fear of flying program in the UK - you can register for the Flying Without Fear here.

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!

3. DID YOU FEEL THAT THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PEOPLE’S LIVES THAT YOU WORKED WITH? PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THIS. WHY OR WHY NOT? WHEN DID IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND WHEN DID IT NOT?

• There is a big difference after treatment using TFT. There is much improvement after treatment. Students thought it was a joke, but as time went on they found I was not joking and they started using it seriously.

• The difference is vivid. I keep on watching on my clients after treating them and I observed big positive change in their lives.

• The difference is clear. For example, there is a client who used not to talk and now that client can talk after the TFT treatment.

• TFT made really a difference in the people’s lives. You treat a person and after you teach him/her how s/he can treat him/herself.

• People are happy. For instance, there is a client who told me that the nightmares and other strange images disappeared after treatment.

• My clients tell me that there is much positive change. The majority got cured and those who were not completely healed still use the algorithms I taught them according to their trauma.

• TFT brought big difference in my clients’ lives. For instance, one client told me that depression was very deep to the point of wanting to commit suicide, but after being treated with TFT the depression disappeared for good.

• TFT made a difference in the people’s lives I worked with. Many times my clients were depressed, and their anger could be seen on their faces, without happiness, even some of them were screaming before I started treating them. After treating them I was surprised to see their faces changing, they started rejoicing and laughing.

• The people I worked with gave testimonies of the wonders brought into their lives by TFT treatment. They are now doing their developmental works with confidence of a prosperous future. They used to fear interacting with other people but now they mix freely and socialize with others.

4. WERE THE PEOPLE YOU TREATED PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS THEY ACHIEVED BY USING TFT? PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THIS.

• Yes, they were all pleased with the results they achieved by using TFT. But, as I dealt with students, some of them were laughing at me in the beginning until they realized that TFT is helping them in their trauma problems.

• Yes, the people I treated were happy after treatment. When their trauma comes again the clients come back to me with much confidence to be treated, others come to ask me the appropriate algorithms to use in order to treat themselves.
• The clients I treated were pleased with what I did for them using TFT. Some of the people I treated told me they will help their neighbors who also have trauma.

• People have found the treatment of their trauma problems in their homes, and this treatment is effective in a very short time.
• I treat people and they go back spreading the good news brought to them by TFT.

• I treated my clients and taught them to treat themselves, and now I am happy with them. They tell me that they are also treating their family members using TFT
• Yes. The people I treated were and are still pleased with TFT results. Imagine to see a person who had lost his/her laughter laughing again, a person who was living in loneliness recovering from that loneliness, a person who had lost his sleep sleeping again, a person with nightmares getting again hi/her normal sleep, etc.!

• About my using of TFT, it is clear that treating my clients using TFT yielded and is still yielding much fruits and people are pleased with this.

5. DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR USING THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY TO HELP INDIVIDUALS IN YOUR COMMUNITY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY? PLEASE DESCRIBE WHY OR WHY NOT.

• So far I am working in a boarding school and I have not yet gone outside the school to treat the people who are not students.

• Yes, my community is happy of TFT. For instance, there is a wife who used to quarrel with her husband, but after treating them using TFT there is peace in their family.

• The community is happy with TFT. For example, there are some people who lived desperately but now are no longer living in loneliness.

• Yes, there is happiness in the community in which I work because they know I live with them and I am there for them.

• Stating myself as a vivid example, I was one of the people suffering from trauma. I treated myself and I pushed ahead to treat other people. We are all better.

• TFT solved the disputes in the families.

• Using TFT brought a positive change, especially at my working place.

• Yes, my using TFT to help individuals in my community made a difference in my community. This is because the problems of one person in the community affect in a way or in another the whole community. For instance, when a person is traumatized, lonely, depressed, selfish and guilty, that person cannot develop his/her community as long as s/he is not yet freed from those problems.

• TFT helped individuals in my community finding solutions to different trauma based problems and this made and is still making positive impact in my community.

6. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE THESE THREE MONTHS USING THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY TO HELP OTHERS?

• In truth, my experience is not yet very high. As I am working with students, time came for them to start long holidays and this made me not continue practicing TFT in order to up bring my practical skills.

• TFT is a lasting solution to the problems caused by trauma, but the people I treat are scattered in the hills. If I could find means to transport, I am sure my service can yield more fruits that those I have so far yielded.

• TFT is helping our people. People’s trauma is decreasing and there is much improvement in people’s lives.

• It would be very beneficial for both therapists and clients if trained Rwandan therapists could also be trained in counseling in order to integrate it with TFT in treating trauma.

• Today in my community it is not a surprise to see people being freed from their trauma using TFT.

• I am now able to treat many people in a very short time with much confidence.

• What I can say in addition to what I have said so far is that I am living myself in a continual surprise of the effects of TFT to my clients.

• I am neither a medical doctor nor a psychologist by profession, but I see with my proper eyes people getting healed from their trauma and some other psychological problems.

• The clients give testimonies of their relief and this makes people like TFT.

• Thanks be to God that ATFT is a nonprofit association. If it were not, I would call it an up-to-date self funding organization. It brings satisfaction to us to see many people revering us simply because we are bringing positive change into peoples’ lives.

• Trained Rwandan therapists deserve advanced training both in TFT and in Guidance and Counseling to keep high their performance.
Thanks

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.

Thought Field Therapy on BreastCancer.org

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.
