Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a tapping-based treatment developed by Roger Callahan that aims to address emotional issues, and was used to treat over 700 patients with various problems like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The results showed significant reductions in distress, suggesting TFT may be a helpful approach, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and long-term benefits. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is considered a more simplified form of TFT.

This clinical report explores the effects of Thought Field Therapy (TFT) on heart rate variability (HRV), finding that TFT can both raise and lower HRV depending on the treatment. The report suggests that TFT works by inputting a specific code that affects the healing system, and that HRV may be a measure of overall physical and mental health. TFT is shown to yield rapid results, sometimes in just seconds, and can even counteract the negative effects of toxins on HRV. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is considered to be a more simplified form of TFT.

The case study explores the effects of Thought Field Therapy (TFT) on heart rate variability (HRV) in 20 patients with psychological problems, including some with diagnosed heart conditions. The results show significant improvements in HRV after TFT treatment, which correspond with patients' reports of reduced distress. The study suggests that HRV may be a useful objective measure of psychotherapy efficacy and encourages further research on TFT and HRV. The summary page includes a second review by Dr. Roger Callahan.

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a self-administered treatment developed by psychologist Roger Callahan. TFT uses energy meridian treatment points and bilateral optical–cortical stimulation while focusing on the targeted symptoms or problem being addressed. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is considered to be a more simplified form of TFT.

Clinicians from Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States were joined in Kosovo by four physicians who transported them to remote war-torn villages where patients with severe trauma were treated. Treatment was given to 105 patients with 249 separate traumas. Follow-up data averaging five months showed no instances of relapse, suggesting that TFT may be an effective treatment for trauma in this population.
