Therapy Name: Thought Field Therapy
Regulatory Body: None
Efficacy: Psychological disturbances
Overview: Thought Field Therapy provides a code that when applied to a psychological problem an individual is focusing upon will eliminate perturbations in the Thought Field.
How it works: When we think of a particular problem we generate an individual thought field in much the same way as an electrical field is generated around an item of electrical equipment. According to the theory of thought field therapy, emotional problems are generated by equally specific interference patterns in these thought fields, described as “perturbations”. In order to remove the perturbations completely, and therefore the problem itself, one must apply a code that nature has provided.
What to expect: The patient is first asked to think about their particular problem (e.g. an anxiety state, a phobia, a trauma, a loss, or a feeling of anger or of guilt). They are then asked to quantify their feelings on a scale of 1 to 10. The practitioner will the ask the patient to tap on his or her own body in specific places in a defined and precise order. The patient is then asked once again to think about their problem again and will usually find that they can no longer do so.
Known Contraindications: None
