TFT(Thought Field Therapy)
TFT, also known as Tapping, has to be one of my favourite therapies of all!
Tapping is super easy to do, and did you know that lots of issues, both emotional and physical can be helped by using it?
It doesn't require hypnosis but simply a focus on the issue. So, you identify that negative emotion and rate it out of 10, where 1 is no problem and 10 is really, really strong/unbearable etc. You'll then do some fun activities tapping on various points of the head, hand or body in a particular sequence, depending on the issue and then review. Sometimes you'll clear the issue in just one round of tapping but more usually it will need a few rounds adapted as the feeling/ issue changes.
TFT is excellent for dealing with long standing issues such as trauma, but also for emotions such as rage or guilt or embarrassment.
This would also be a good time to mention that children love TFT tapping techniques as it is super easy to do. If your child needs help in dealing with anxiety or any number of other issues I would definitely be using TFT for all or some of the session.
Tapping is so easy that it's suitable for all ages; I've used it with clients aged from 7-80+.
2022 update: If you have been watching "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" on TV you will have noticed Boy George using tapping techniques.
It worked for me!
My own experience of tapping techniques was actually many years ago, whilst I was still training to be a hypnotherapist. I was scheduled to have an MRI scan and possibly an injection as part of the process; I was quite terrified as I was claustrophobic and at that time also had a massive fear of injections.
I went to see a colleague who used tapping techniques with me to bring down my claustrophobia and needle fears; the whole session took less than an hour but I felt so much better and left with some tapping techniques to use if I became anxious.
Fast forward to the actual scan and I was absolutely fine! I used some tapping just to address a bit of anxiety I felt in the waiting room but had no issues with the scan itself.
Typically it takes only one or two sessions to resolve long standing issues.
I now use TFT with the majority of my clients as a starting point before going on to hypnotherapy, allowing me to really tune in to the specific issue, which in turn is likely to reduce the number of sessions of hypnotherapy required.
No matter what the issue being addressed I usually include TFT, either as part of the first session, or as an ongoing homework task. Don't worry, I will teach you the technique during the session and give you a handout with the sequence to use at home. I have taught this self-help method to clients across the age range from teenagers up to a lady in her eighties, so it really is very simple to learn.
TFT Triangle Technique
I always ask my clients to build the Triangle Technique into their daily routine, for example, do it morning and night when cleaning teeth or having a shower. It takes less than a minute to do and really sets you up for the day! It is simply a sequence of tapping which starts on the side of one hand and then points on the face, before tapping on the other hand to complete a triangle pattern. It doesn't matter whether you start on the left or the right hand as you cover both during the sequence. I also add in a couple of extra moves for the morning sequence to give an energy boost.
