Yet that night, Mary decided to test her phobia cure further by driving to the ocean in a rare California rainstorm. Remembering that the Chinese had used acupuncture for over 5,000 years to stimulate the flow of energy through what they call the body’s “meridians” or electrical pathways, he asked Mary to tap a few times under her eye – the location of the end point of the stomach meridian.Īfter several seconds of tapping, Mary exclaimed, “It’s gone!” and made a beeline for the pool bending down to splash water on her face. Sitting outside near our swimming pool one day, she became nauseous from just the thought of the water nearby. To our great frustration, after a year of using all the traditional therapy methods, our patient “Mary” was no better than before. In fact, her phobia was so extreme she was unable to pursue even the most basic activities if they involved water or brought her near to water. In 1979, as a licensed psychologist in private practice, Roger was counseling a young mother who was terrified of water. How Did Thought Field Therapy Come Into Being? Those suffering the aftereffects of trauma-warfare, rape, injury or loss- have instantly removed the horrible emotions and feelings tied to that event which previously controlled their lives, sometimes for decades. Hundreds have regained their lives by curbing addictive urges for nicotine, controlled substances or obsessive behaviors. Others have eliminated stress, anxiety and fears – and even physical pain literally within minutes. Thousands have recovered rapidly from troublesome disorders like insomnia, gout or tinnitus. What started as a simple therapeutic treatment to stimulate the body’s own healing systems through tapping on various points of the body-much the same way Chinese physicians use acupuncture to do-has become much more mainstream, launching the fields of energy psychology and energy medicine in the western world.
For the past 35 years, a simple technique called Thought Field Therapy has been rapidly healing trauma, anxiety, pain and disease for people who are desperate to regain wellness and normalcy in their lives.
