He also theorized that specific muscles were associated with different meridians. Goodheart concluded that muscle strength was influenced not only by physical conditions but by thoughts and emotions. In TFT, Callahan adapts and extends these Eastern principles to the treatment of psychological issues.Ĭallahan, a self-proclaimed pioneer in cognitive therapy, began to deviate from traditional psychotherapeutic methods after completing training in applied kinesiology, a procedure developed by chiropractor George Goodheart. Stimulating meridian end points by applying pressure ( acupressure) or inserting needles ( acupuncture) is believed to remove blockages, restoring a normal flow of energy, and by extension, physical health. Each pathway, also called a “meridian,” involves its own set of internal organs and ends at a specific point on the skin’s surface. These healing methods are based on the idea that energy flows along a network of pathways in the body and that blockages in the system result in physical illness. Combining modern psychotherapy and Eastern tradition, it draws heavily on ancient Chinese medical practices including acupressure and acupuncture, which emphasize the presence of an internal energy system. Thought Field Therapy™ was developed by American psychologist Roger Callahan. It has been applied by medical practitioners to a wide range of physical concerns and some individuals seeking help for mental health challenges may also find it a helpful approach. Some claim TFT produces rapid, lasting results in the treatment of various psychological conditions, including phobias, addictions, anxiety, trauma, and depression. It is thought imbalances can be corrected by finger tapping specific energy points in certain sequences in order to restore an individual’s health and wellness. TFT is based on the premise that bodies consist of energy fields and that imbalances in this system cause physical and emotional issues.
Thought Field Therapy™ (TFT) is an energy-based form of psychotherapy designed to reduce symptoms of psychological distress by manipulating how energy flows in the body.
