If you feel no relief, or only partial relief, after completing the TFT trauma relief technique, do the “collarbone breathing” technique (click here)–and then repeat the TFT trauma technique. If still no relief, please ask questions on this blog. We will answer you as soon as possible. If you’d like a list of TFT practitioners for consultation, click here. Those with the designation “TFT-VT” or “TFT-Adv” can work over the phone.

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for this site. I have CFS, brought about thru chronic stress i believe. How do i resolve this …..what do i focus on…..the illness or all the events leading up to it…..traumas in childhood OR the traumas that perpetuated it…..teenagers acting out very destructivley OR just the illnesss itself….no energy to have a life.
TFT does not treat diagnosed illnesses. It is very effective, however, in relieving the stress that research has demonstrated makes us vulnerable to illness. You already have a very good idea of what to focus on while using the technique. You can try it with all past traumas and memorable upsets. You can also focus on your current symptoms, which understandably cause more stress. We know of no instance where doing this TFT technique causes any harm so you can use it with whatever thoughts bring you distress. You might also want to read “Tapping the Healer Within” by Dr. Roger Callahan to learn more about TFT, beyond the one technique taught in this blog. Dr. Callahan’s most recent book, “Tapping the Body’s Energy Pathways”, is a compilation of stories about how TFT has been used to heal trauma, anxiety and disease. Wishing you excellent health and vitality!
Hi I have purchased Roger callahans book tapping the healer within. I bought it a while back & i have tried many times to work on pain i have followed all his instructions and nothing is working for me at all. I have tried so many times & nothing at all no change pain has remianed at 9-10. what else can i do.
Hello. First of all, if there is an organic cause of the pain, TFT will not remove the pain as it is the body’s way of letting us know there’s a problem. Given that you’ve checked this out, if the algorithms in Dr. Callahan’s book don’t work for you, I recommend you talk to a TFT practitioner who’s trained at the diagnostics level. When the algorithms don’t work, often what’s needed is a sequence diagnosed specifically for the person with the specific problem. There also may be Individual Energy Toxins (IET’s) involved and the diagnostically trained practitioner should be able to determine those as well. You can find a list of practitioners at http://www.atft.org/member-directory/. Diagnostically trained practitioners are designated with TFT-Dx, TFT-Adv, or TFT-VT. TFT-Adv and TFT-VT can work with you over the phone. TFT-VT is the most advanced training.
I do hope you find relief soon. TFT can be remarkably effective for pain.

There also may be Individual Energy Toxins (IET’s) involved. A diagnostically trained practitioner should be able to determine what they are so that you can avoid them, freeing your body’s own healing system to function more effectively. You can find a list of diagnostically trained TFT practitioners at http://www.atft.org/member-directory/. Look for the designations TFT-Dx, TFT-Adv, and TFT-VT. The latter two can work with you over the phone. TFT-VT is the highest level of training.
I hope you find relief soon and encourage you to pursue TFT at the diagnostics level. It has had remarkable success with relieving pain.
Hello, I first studied TFT 12 years ago and now getting back into practice and updating my skills, it is an amazing therapy and look forward to meeting new people at the upcoming training courses.
TFT has greatly evolved in the last 12 years. I encourage you to go to another training course so you can catch up on the new developments. They’re very exciting!
Hello Mary,
I have been following along with your video and it is very helpful. Thank you!
That’s great to hear, Martha!
Thank you I will continue to utilize the technique and information
Please let us know if it helps.
Getting different instructions from various people. Some say..Speak aloud positive statements regarding the ailment; here, you say just think about it before doing tapping. Which is best?
I followed your instructions twice and didn’t notice a reduction in pain
In Thought Field Therapy you only need to think about the problem with the intent of being over it, before you tap. The trauma relief algorithm given on this blog is for trauma, not pain. TFT has other algorithms for pain. You could read Dr. Callahan’s book “Tapping the Healer Within” for other algorithms. Or work with a TFT practitioner (see http://www.atft.org/membership-directory.html). Practitioners trained in diagnostics (TFT-Dx) can help even when standard algorithms don’t.
