Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is an alternative remedy for weight loss. It consists of externally stimulating the body along acupuncture meridians by tapping in a specifically sequenced order. Although heralded as a cure for many suffering from obesity, there are no scientific studies to verify its effectiveness. TFT is not considered a replacement for a conventional medical weight loss treatment.
Tapping Natural Energy Fields
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) realigns the bodies energy fields the same way acupuncture does. Negative thoughts and emotions store in the body obstructing the bodies natural energy flow which can result in trapped energy which manifests as excess weight. By gently tapping along acupuncture meridians in a specific sequence, the energy flow of the client is restored.
Hidden Reasons for Weight-Gain
TFT attempts to resolve the underlying issues behind binge eating and obesity. Binge eating and compulsive eating can be related to past traumas and anger. The client undergoing TFT is asked meditate on his problems and then to tap the body in specific places in a specific order. This is said to re-balance the clients energy and eliminate negative emotions almost immediately.
The "Gold Standard"
Dr. Roger Callahan, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and the founder and developer of the Callahan Technique which uses TFT along with good nutritional support for mental health and weight control. Dr. Callahan is the author of numerous books including, "Tapping the Healer Within." His credentials include being the president of The American Academy of Psychologists in Marital and Family Therapy. He is also a private psychotherapist who is currently licensed in New York and California.
Dr. Callahan has spent 22 years developing his TFT technique. He claims that his technique balances the bodies energy system and eliminates negative emotions in minutes and that he has a very high success rate with his clients. Dr. Callahan teaches common TFT "recipes" or algorithms which are codes in books and also on audio tapes for weight loss. Dr. Callahan's technique of tapping is considered the "Gold Standard" in its effectiveness which can be calculated by monitoring heart rate.
