Is it necessary to be on time for the training?

It is important that you be at the workshop when it begins. Thought Field Therapy is based on the acupuncture system and these spots will be learned very early on each day. It is difficult to catch up if you miss the early part of the training.

What time does the workshop begin each day?

Unless otherwise advised the workshop will begin at 8:30 am with sign-ins and a continental breakfast. The working day will begin at 8:45am with a morning break around 10:30 am, lunch from 12 noon to 1:15pm, an afternoon break around 3:00 pm and ending each day at 5:00pm.

What Should I wear to your Thought Field Therapy Training?

Wear anything you like but DO NOT wear fragrances (perfumes, scented hair sprays, etc.) Many attendees have environmental sensitivities and all energy work is more effective and efficient in a fragrance-free environment. Most attendees dress in casual attire.

What is the difference between a TFT Algorithm Training and a TFT Diagnostic Training?

Diagnostic Training involves the use of applied kinesiology or muscle testing. This involves touching the client. It is taught only by Dr. Roger Callahan the originator of Thought Field Therapy. Dr. Callahan is constantly improving his diagnostic techniques. Anyone else claiming to teach a TFT Diagnostic training is not approved and is using old outdated Thought Field Therapy techniques.

The training I provide is a Callahan approved training. Thought Field Therapy algorithm trainings should be taken from a Callahan approved instructor as approved instructors have the advantage of benefiting from new techniques as they are studied and approved by Dr. Callahan. Other (non-approved) trainers are teaching watered down versions or versions they learned from Dr. Callahan years ago. Taking the approved Algorithm Training will you to treat anxieties, phobias, grief, trauma, sadness, disappointment, guilt, anger , rage, depression and addictions. This is a hands on interactive training that prepares you to use the TFT techniques with skill and confidence.

What is the difference between TFT (Thought Field Therapy) and the "newer" EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)?

Several people who have taken Dr. Callahan's extensive training have simply changed the name and called it by their own name. You will come across this from time to time. Others like the "developer" of EFT have taken Dr. Callahan's training and modified it and then called it by a new name. In the system known as EFT, all of the points discovered by Dr. Callahan are tapped over and over, and often, this can be effective. However, I have found it bores most clients because it can take so much longer and that it still incorporates techniques such as affirmations which have been long done away with in Thought Field Therapy because they have been shown to be unnecessary and cumbersome.

Also techniques known as reversal correction techniques are done automatically with this technique and, as a clinician, you can miss valuable information about your client by having them perform these techniques indiscriminately.
