Case Histories

DF – 43 yr old man:  TRAUMA

This man had been undergoing traditional psychotherapy every week for the past two years, but was still suffering from two childhood traumas.

First:  A great fear because as a young boy he was constantly losing his parents while walking with them in a crowd in Paris and the crush of the crowd was preventing him being able to catch up with them.  This fear had been so distressing for him that even now, many years later, he reported feeling very upset.  This was quickly cured with a single TFT treatment and his fear had vanished.

Secondly:  Also, when a small boy, he had often experienced great anger from his mother.  This made him very frightened indeed and again, even now, he was greatly disturbed and upset at the thought of those past experiences.  Again this was quickly cured with another TFT treatment.

After both the TFT treatments he was visibly more relaxed and on addressing his present frustration at not being able to discover how he should progress on his life’s path, this emotional concern was also removed. 

After these treatments, he confirmed feeling completely calm and was not experiencing any upset whatsoever.

YT – 61 yr old woman:  PRESENTING PROBLEM - PHOBIA

Although this lady had undergone traditional psychotherapy for a year, and also some hypnotherapy, she still had a great fear of having her blood pressure taken.  Her problem was now very acute because she soon had to go to the surgery again for another check. 

This particular case was NOT a phobia, but caused by past traumas - the root causes - engendered by the memory of her mother dying and her witnessing a doctor clumsily giving an injection and also taking her mother’s blood pressure. She further remembered her mother having breathing difficulties shortly before her death and her feelings of great grief and guilt because there was nothing she could do to help.

These traumatic upsets were quickly removed and it was immediately possible to move on to her present fear of having her blood pressure taken.  While she was thinking about this problem, another TFT sequence removed all fear.

Finally she assured me she was completely calm about everything that had been addressed and she felt happy that her impending visit to the surgery would not be any problem at all.

AP – 26 yr old woman:  PHOBIA

This young woman was so afraid of spiders, the very thought of them filled her with dread.  The moment she started to explain this fear, she reacted by taking her feet off the floor and cringing on the sofa.  She was especially frightened at the way spiders “wiggle their legs”.

This was a real phobic fear which was so debilitating that once, when one had landed on her leg, she screamed and jumped violently hoping it would fall off because she was much too afraid to knock it off with her hand.

A special TFT procedure for the phobic fear of spiders was given and within minutes all fear had disappeared.

AP said she was strangely comfortable with the idea of spiders wriggling about, her posture was far more comfortable and her feet were back on the ground!

However, she was not sure she was really over the fear and was afraid of what would happen the next time a spider turned up. To prove this, she began searching around windows (where most spiders had come from in the past) but could not find one.

She was then asked “Can you remember the last time you searched for a spider?” Immediately the “penny dropped” as she realised she had never searched for one in her whole life!  She was most grateful and realised her next encounter with a spider would not be any problem.

RG – 57yr old woman:  TRAUMA & PAIN

This poor woman lay totally rigid and tense during an hour of gentle and very relaxing Reiki treatment given to her by Mary.  On being asked why she was so tense, she said she was remembering being beaten with sticks as a child – and immediately burst into uncontrollable tears. 

She was in no condition to follow treatment instructions, and so this was a case of tapping on the specific meridian points myself because she needed help – fast!  She had multiple traumas which came up in quick succession and every one was treated in turn.  After about ten minutes of this treatment, she eventually relaxed completely and went to her room to rest as she was staying for a weekend of rest and healing.                   

At this point we did not know the full details regarding her childhood.  It was only later, when she was quite relaxed and calm, that she was able to tell us of the many times, and ways, in which she was battered by her parents as well as having been half-starved.

After treatment the telling us of these events now caused her no distress at all.

The following day, she asked if I could help with the considerable pain she had in her shoulders.  She said she’d had this pain for almost as long as she could remember.

On using the correct TFT sequence for pain, she suddenly experienced a total relief from this pain.  It was so sudden and dramatic, she could not believe it and kept moving her shoulders around to try and find her pain again!

Such a quick release was possible because it had been caused by the continuing intense tension she had been carrying all her life.  Since the traumas responsible for creating her inner tension had now been released, it was then possible to remove the associated physical pain that was no longer needed.

JB – 63 yr old woman: TRAUMA + ANGER, GUILT & LACK OF SELF-WORTH

This case emphasises the value of people being able to treat themselves with TFT after their initial healing with the therapist.  At the centre of TFT treatment is the fact that practitioners can teach their client how to continue self-treatment if and when this is needed.

JB was suffering from several past problems: The trauma and guilt she felt over her daughter dying in hospital, the trauma and anger she felt from her parents telling her that as a child she was never good enough and later the anger and guilt she felt because of the control by her father which she later found she was passing on the her own children.

All these problems were cured in turn with specific TFT sequences and each time JB confirmed that she felt completely calm without any upset immediately after treatment.  Each time she was totally amazed at the speed and completeness of the cure.

Finally we addressed the frustration, anxiety and anger she was continuing to experience as an ongoing problem with her mother-in-law who was very elderly and very controlling of both herself and her husband.  Although these problems were also settled during the consultation, I warned her that as fresh experiences came up with her mother-in-law, she would have to address them herself with the TFT sequences I gave her after her treatment.

Three months later she rang me to say how very grateful she was for being able to use TFT with the mother-in-law situation.  She said that during the on-going time of stress, anxiety and frustration “TFT has been life-saving for me”!  I’m able to treat myself every time the pressure becomes too much”.

WW – 49 yr old woman:  OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER

This lady was suffering from an OCD of Binge Eating.  On diagnosis, it was found she was toxic to Chocolate, Muffin cake, Eggs and Tea.  She particularly enjoyed her muffin cake every morning at work!

Her desire to eat these and other favourites was removed so that she realised she no longer needed to binge any more and was happy not to indulge.  She was shown how to treat herself every time the desire returned and, by doing this, her problem would be completely solved within about three weeks.

She was also experiencing great stress and anxiety due to the pressure of her work,

together with an unconscious repressed trauma and anger caused by the death of her first-born child soon after birth 15 years ago.  The awareness of this buried trauma was released through a Reiki Healing Treatment prior to her TFT treatment.

Her complete state of Stress, Trauma, Anger and Binge Eating was completely resolved.

WW had come for a One-Day Retreat which includes Reiki Healing together with The Lifestyle Analysis which indicates which of the Body Systems are suffering stress and in need of the correct nutritional support.

Some days later she wrote:   “I wanted to thank you for a wonderful day last Friday.  The effects of it are still with me and I feel very calm and centred.  I find I can still hurry to do things but I don’t have the “wound-up like a spring” feeling that has always accompanied it in the past.  It has even affected my appetite in that I’m not experiencing high and low mood swings and so my appetite is normal and I am avoiding sweet binges.  I feel a new and better woman!”

KR – 54 yr old woman:  BEREAVEMENT, GRIEF & TRAUMA

Initially this woman presented with a Phobia concerning her dislike of, and inability to eat, greens!  Within seconds of beginning to treat her she burst into tears and it was obvious that she was suffering from a very deep grief and trauma.

I immediately treated her myself as she was in no state to follow instructions and within minutes her distress passed, she was calm and able to state quite clearly, without emotion, that “No, at that moment she was not ready to talk about the cause of her suffering.”

She was here for a Day’s Healing Retreat and later told us the real reason for needing treatment.  During the next week she knew that she would have to cope with the First Anniversary of her Daughter’s Suicide and her continuing grief and trauma had been  causing her ever increasing distress as the actual date approached.

This she explained in a complete state of calm, adding, with no emotion whatsoever, “Of course, the worst moment of all was when the police came to tell me.”

She left still somewhat concerned as to what would happen and how she would feel on the actual anniversary day.  After it had passed we received the following E-mail.

“The memory of my daughter’s suicide was stuck right inside my head like a video going round and round – it never stopped.  Now it’s gone – it’s moved three feet outside my head.  I can look at it if I want  - but it doesn’t hurt me at all.”

This whole treatment clearly shows two of the great advantages of TFT over other therapies:

ONE:  It is NOT necessary for the practitioner to know anything about a person’s problem, or for the client to have to talk about their distress, for a cure to be effective.  All that is necessary is that the person only needs to be thinking about the problem.  This suffering woman was automatically thinking of her problems and so immediate treatment was possible and effective.

TWO:  That the resolution of this incredibly distressing trauma and grief was immediate and totally effective.  Her grief and trauma were completely cleared at the instant of my first, and only, administration of TFT treatment.
