Working with your Therapist, you are asked to 'think and hold the thought' of your problem as clearly as possible in your mind.  Whilst doing so you are taken through a precise sequence, an Algorithm, of tapping with your fingers on specific Energy Meridian Points on your face, hands and upper body.

This activates the Thought Field associated with the problem and then subsumes the perturbations within it.  These perturbations - discrete and isolatable parts of the Body's Energy System - are recognised in TFT as the cause of negative emotions.

As each perturbation in the Problem Thought Field is subsumed, the distress experienced diminishes until it is no longer present. You can remember the problem, but experience no further emotional distress whatsoever.

This process is not dissimilar to the way in which a Combination Lock works - it is necessary to enter the correct numbers in the right order.

The treatment effect usually happens in minutes, often leaving a person feeling incredulous, with them endeavouring (without success!) to bring back the emotional upset that had been present for so long!

One to three treatments are usually all that is needed to cure the problem using Thought Field Therapy.

You are always given full information and taught how to treat yourself at home if a problem re-occurs or if it should need further treatment in an “ongoing” situation which can cause fresh upsets.

Adverse side effects from Thought Field Therapy are unheard of.  The worst TFT can ever do to you is nothing - and even this is very rare!

IS TFT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?

YES – they are particularly responsive to, and also enjoy, the treatment.  Its simplicity and safety make it especially suitable for nervous children whose anxiety makes conventional treatment difficult.  There is also no age barrier - all that is needed is that the child can understand and obey simple instructions.

DOES THE EFFECT ENDURE?

YES – the therapeutic effect is predictable and immediate with the majority of simple problems being resolved over one to three sessions.  Continuing self-help treatment is always given, and recommended, to maintain progress.

IS TFT PAINFUL TO APPLY?

Thought Field Therapy is completely pain-free. There are no drugs, needles or any other instruments involved.

WILL I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT OR CONFRONT MY PROBLEM?

In conventional psychotherapeutic approaches it is known that such a thing can be the cause of considerable distress.  With TFT there is no need whatsoever to talk at length about your problem over many hours of consultation.
