Thank you for your comment. Indeed, TFT has been found to be exceptionally effective in balancing the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) as demonstrated by Heart Rate Variability (HRV).

These “indicators” also generally equate to a shift from a SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System) to PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) dominance. For those of us living in a pretty intensely competitive, stressful world, this is “just what the doctor ordered.” What I mean to say is that not only does this shift suggest one is on the “right track” in therapy, but one is more generally addressing stress (and supporting the human immune system). Finally, for those diagnosed with hypertension, pretty much any techniques which move one in this direction (psychotherapy, meditation, TFT/EFT, chiropractic, etc.), along with some supplements, could prove helpful.

Hi Megan. Did you watch the video demonstrating the cb2 technique? The location is described there as well as shown. Simply, go down the front of the neck with your finger. When you reach the v-notch of the collarbone, go down about 1″ and over to either side about 1″. It does soften a bit there. Don’t be too concerned about getting the exact spot. If you’re using a few fingers to touch, you’re probably covering it.

We’re glad to hear that you’re finding some freedom through TFT. If you’d like personal consultation you can look for a TFT practitioner at http://www.tftpractitioners.net.

HI, WOuld you be able to clarify the location of the collarbone point for me please? Where is it in relation to the joint where the collarbone joins the sternum? Is it just immediately under the collarbone but out where it’s soft? When I measure on me I seem to end up a long way to the side compared to the video. I have the book Tapping the Healer Within book and am having variable success. Some things just go and others don’t. I am certainly a complex case but even so am finding little bits of freedom I haven’t had in years! For that I am grateful. Thanks for the video I can see I could tap a bit more gently than I have been. Megan

I give you and your foundation a standing ovation for the work you are doing amongst trauma survivors in Africa. I am still at the beginning of my learning journey with Energy Psychology, but working with trauma, with children, and more specifically in the developing world is a huge passion of mine too, I have worked with abandoned and disadvantaged children for over 10 years and also spent a year in Mozambique, Thank you for making this information available to as many people as possible. On with my learning… in the hope that I will have opportunity to put these valuable tools to good use in ways that resemble your fine example!

What you describe sounds like what Dr. Roger Callahan, the founder of TFT, refers to as "psychological reversal". And yes, TFT can handle that. The TFT technique that corrects it in most cases is simply tapping the side of the hand (where you would do a karate chop) about 20 times. Sometimes you also need to tap under the nose about 20 times. You can do this before doing any other technique or even whenever you think of it throughout the day. A TFT practitioner who does diagnostics (Dx or VT levels) can help you determine what might be causing the reversal. You can find a list of practitioners at www.TFTpractitioners.net.

What if the problem is, none of this stuff works for me? (stuff being any technique to help oneself) I am not effective at doing things?
I feel as I am in a bit of a catch 22 whereas my problems are programs that have built in defense mechanisms. I am sure that you have the expertise to handle these kind of self protecting problems. Thanks in advance.

The “being” of the therapist always effects the space and energy of a therapeutic session. At the same time, as demonstration of the power of the technique itself, TFT can often be done very effectively without the presence of a “therapist”, a fact that encouraged the development of this blog and its efforts to relieve the effects of trauma, allowing for greater peace and fulfillment in the world.

I would imagine that certain key principles found in other branches of alternative medicine are applicable with TFT, such as the importance of “intention;” how an experienced therapist brings not only technique and experience but something like “additional energy” or “consciousness” to the table; and a safe, “space” wherein change can occur.
