Good News for Tappers Everywhere. Just out is the best study to date showing the power of TFT to change lives. The peer reviewed International Journal of Emergency Mental Health (Vol 12., No.1 Pp.41-47) just published “Treatment of PTSD in Rwandan Child Genocide Survivors Using Thought Field Therapy.” Thanks to the unrelenting efforts of the authors – Caroline Sakai, Suzanne Connolly, and Paul Oas- we now have another systemic study with accepted measures showing almost all the children using TFT were healed from clinical PTSD. 50 children are better from using TFT. But all of us who use TFT already knew this is the norm. Now we have another way to persuade those uncertain of trying TFT. This study had a follow-up a year after the treatments proving it held up over time. This evidences that TFT works is what is needed by many mainstream service providers, professional organizations, and those who have never tried TFT to get started. Well written with solid information and a couple of moving case histories the authors work is to be applauded.
Share Thought Field Therapy with the people of the Gulf Coast.
As the hope that the oil spill in the Gulf coast may be coming an end it is time to address the immediate and long term stress of those people living all along the coast. This is a technological disaster beyond any in American history. These resilient peoples have endured and survived the natural disasters of massive hurricanes over the years but this is something very different. Communities with renewable resources like fisheries and recreational tourism are dependent on their environment for their livelihood, lifestyle, and cultural connection. By using a Conservation of Resources model of traumatic stress research on other technological disasters such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill it is clear that the many of the people of the Gulf will suffer greatly – some more than others. The closer you are to a life connected to what is spoiled by the oil’s destruction the more you will feel the stress. Share what you know about reducing the overwhelm stress with Thought Field Therapy. Recovery will be a long process and complicated by the fact that human beings’ decisions have caused the losses.
I am looking forward to presenting an Oasis training for 40+ seniors in San Diego. Held at the Macy’s in Mission Valley, this short 1 1/2 hour long class will help participants learn about the nature of traumatic stress disorders and the easy ways to immediately end problems with negative overwhelming memories.
Date of class: July 24, 2009/Time: 10:15 – 11:45

Here’s a picture of me, and with the people from CA-3 Mental Health Response Team at a Federal Training in College Station, Texas. You may notice I am the beardless one at the back left. This was an exercise for response to a pandemic flu and we had to wear masks requiring a clean shaven face. It was very, very hot outside in our Disaster Medical Assistance Team tents working with over two hundred members of the National Disaster Medical System from all over the country. This is an international training center for disaster responders of all kinds including dogs and it was full of train wrecks, collapsed buildings, and every kind of dangerous situation you never want to experience. I enjoyed seeing what goes into training emergency responders.
When the flu season starts remember to do all those things your mother taught you – wash your hands a lot; cover your sneezes and coughs; and don’t pretend you are not sick when you are, and stay home. This is not what I spent a week learning but these are the most important ways we can care for one another this coming fall.
Hope to see you all soon (with or without a beard)

TFT Mission to Uganda - February 2009
Hello again!
Some good things last forever. The feeling of my heart swelling with pride and joy as I witnessed Thought Field Therapy being successfully applied in service of the people of the Kasese diocese in Uganda lives in me now. This is the first I have written about the mission since I returned so if I sound a bit flighty it is because of the amazing number of powerful and beautiful moments I experienced as part of the ATFT Foundation team training over 350 people in Algorithms and helping them care for hundreds of more members of their communities.
If you have ever watched a hummingbird move from blossom to blossom, you have a sense of what happens to me as I think about picking some delicious bits to share with you. Read the rest of this entry »
I want to encourage any of you who would like to have wonderful break around Thanksgiving to join me for an exciting conference in Cancun Mexico. The 4th IMUNE International Conference 22nd to 24th November 2008 Trauma – Physical & Psychological. Check out the informative and cutting edge presentations at www.imuneseminar.com
Last chance this year to attend one of my algorithm workshops is the always excellence ICISF conference here in San Diego.
I will be attending Dr. Callahan’s Optimal Health Workshop next month – a whole next set of skills and knowledge to use.
January I will be in Uganda as part of the Association for Thought Field Therapy’s (ATFT) community service and research projects- we will be training locals in TFT Algorithms, supporting community members in treating for traumatic stress and other problems. We will also be working on creating treatment protocols for treating malaria. Your financial assistances is needed to reach as many people as possible. Please, if you can donate go to www.ATFT.org and clicking on the donate button.
My best wishes for you- Keep Tapping
Hi – some good news,
At last the research is catching up with those of us already using Thought Field Therapy and who know about its power.
The website: www.innersource.net/energy_psych/articles/ep_energy-trauma-treatment.htm will lead you to a very good academic article reviewing the results of energy psychology in disaster settings. David Feinstein, Ph.D. does a very good job of pulling together the standards for evidence and presenting the case for using these techniques. He includes the work of Carl Johnson, James McAninch, and the Trauma Relief Committee of the Association for Thought Field Therapy who worked with the El Shadai Orphanage in Rwanda, as well as many others.
In general, I agree with many of Dr. Feinstein’s conclusions, but not all of them. I am still convinced that the Callahan Techniques Thought Field Therapy treatments are the most effective. I am also concerned by his discussion of Critical Incident Stress Management. The following article by Jeff Mitchell provides an excellent review of these issues and the confusing terminology that is the source of much of the controversy in the field: www.icisf.org/articles/cism_research_summary.pdf
The next time someone asks about research you will find Dr. Feinstein’s article and references useful. There are more good articles coming out soon. I will keep you posted.
I hope to see you soon at one of the upcoming trainings!
Bob
