THE ABC'S OF TFT ALGORITHM

WELCOME , you'll become a acquainted with the components of the Thought Field Therapy algorithms that you'll be using to manage your own emotional problems. 

 Algorithm is a term and a concept rooted in mathematics. In the context of math, it refers to a common solution to a problem ( for example, a solution for finding the highest common divisor). One authority defines the more general notion of an algorithm this way: " A sequence of instructions to be followed with the intention of finding a solution to a problem. Each step must specify what steps are to be taken, and although there may be many alternate routes through the algorithm, there is only one start point and one end point." 

  In medicine, algorithms are treatment formula or guidelines to be followed for diagnosing and/or managing specific diseases. they are sets of proven steps that, when followed diligently by doctors, can produce more accurate diagnoses and more efficient and successful patient care. 

  In Thought Field Therapy (TFT), algorithms are used for treatment. I developed them over time, using the Causal Diagnosis procedure unique to TFT. While it's not necessary to understand this complex process, keep in mind that each component of every algorithm was tested on hundreds of clients and shown to have a very high success rate before becoming part of this program. Only when the common efficacy of the treatment sequences could be shown did I grant them algorithm status. All of the algorithms in this blog have a proven rate of success of 75% to 80 percent, and they are a way to enter the healing world of TFT with extraordinary ease. 

  Over the years, I developed a particular treatment patterns that works best for a given disorder. As a result, this blog-site provides a different "recipe" for each psychological problem. For example, the precise elements and their sequence in the formula used for the fear of flying differ from those in the formula used for coping with a traumatic event like sexual abuse. If you follow the simple instructions of each algorithm, you can ease a variety of problems whenever necessary. 

  TFT as a whole has a unique architecture, so while the algorithms may differ in their specifics, they have common elements. Here, you will see in the algorithms that you eventually try. The following sections are meant as an introduction to and explanation of these common elements ; DO NOT ACTUALLY TRY THEM OUT OR PRACTICE THEM UNTIL YOU GET TO THE LAST POST. At that time, you'll learn the precise sequence of steps created for your particular problem. These next few pages should not be used as a "trial run," but rather as an orientation to what you'll be doing in the following post.

  TUNING IS KEY 

Every algorithm begins the same way. The first step is to intentionally think about or concentrate on the Thought Field associated with your emotional distress or problem. Here we are not being negative thinking but we are processing the emotions. In essence, you'll bringing thoughts associated with the problem into your awareness. You'll be asked to consciously think about your own particular fear, anxiety,  or trauma.

  Again, in other therapies it really doesn't matter what you're thinking about while you're being treated. But with TFT, it makes all the difference in the world. To be treated successfully, you need to tune the perturbed Thought Field -- in other words, think about the problem that you're trying to resolve. This will bring to the fore the specific perturbations and related information that are active in the problem and need to be addressed in the treatment. In the early years of TFT, I compared this process to tuning a specific radio station. If you turn the dial to another station instead, you will get completely different information. Or imagine asking your tailor to alter your trousers without bringing the trousers to him; the job just wouldn't get done. 

  Psychologists have known for many years that particular thoughts have definite and profound effects on an individual. This concept is fundamental to clinical psychology . As you turn your attention to the event, circumstance, or person that is the focus of your psychological problem, it's understandable that you'll have an emotional reaction to those thoughts. But even though the process of tuning a Thought Field may make you feel distressed and upset, it's an important  element in healing. This is real processing the true emotional problem and not denying the reality of the existence of the emotion or suppressing it deep within the subconscious mind. Hence the success rate of TFT application. 

  When you tune a Thought Field and it produces intense emotions, this will be clear indication that perturbations exist. These perturbations will appear immediately upon tuning the Thought Field. When I was developing TFT, I would give patients plenty if time to tune the Thought Field. I'd watch their eyes and their facial expression to make sure they really had it. I later learned that the tuning tales place instantly. If you don't become upset, there are probably no perturbations present, although there are exceptions. Most notably, a person repressing his psychological problem may not become distressed merely thinking about it; however, if he were to be exposed to the actual situation -- foe example, speaking in public -- then his anxiety would surface. The Causal Diagnosis procedure if TFT can identify precisely what perturbations ate present, allowing even a repressed person to be treated successfully.

TFT Algorithm For Physical Pain

PHYSICAL PAIN ALGORITHM

 1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the physical pain you're experiencing.  

2. Using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale, rate your most intense pain possible. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of pain. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Locate the gamut spot on the back of the hand, about an inch below the raised knuckles of the ring finger and little finger when making a fist. tap this gamut spot fifty(50) times, using two fingers of the opposite hand.

4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times.

5. Take a second SUD rating and write it down. If the SUD has decreased 2 or more points (which will be the case for most people), then continue with step 6 below. If there was no change, however, or if the change in the SUD was only 1 point, perform the correction for a psychological reversal, using the technique described in this post (CLICK HERE). Then repeat steps 1 through 5.

6. Perform the nine-gamut treatments. Locate the gamut spot on the back of the hand, about an inch below the raised knuckles of the ring finger and little finger when making a fist. Begin tapping the gamut spot with two fingers of the opposite hand, about three to five times per second, and continue tapping while performing all nine steps below ( tap five or six times for each of the nine-gamut positions). It is very important to tap the gamut spot throughout all nine of these gamut treatments:

G1~ Open the eyes.

G2~ Close the eyes.

G3~ Open the eyes and point eyeball down and to the left.

G4~ Point the eyeballs down and to the right.

G5~ Whirl the eyeballs around in a circle in one direction (clockwise).

G6~ Whirl the eyeballs around in the opposite direction (counter clockwise).

G7~ Hum a few bars of any tune aloud (more than a single note;
rest the eyes).

G8~ Count aloud from one to five.

G9~ Hum the tune again.

7. Tap the gamut spot five times again.

8. Tap the collarbone point five times again.

9. Take still another SUD rating and write it down. If it has declined to 1 (which will happen with most people), move to step 10 below. But if it has decreased significantly yet is still not a 1, perform the MINI PR correction as described below, and then repeat the treatment steps above.

10. To ensure that the improvements you've made are complete, perform the floor-to-ceiling eye roll (when the SUD is 2 or lower): Hold the head level and move your eyes down. Then begin tapping the gamut point as you move your eyes upward.
 
MINI PR

 A related procedure, called a mini psychological reversal correction, can be used when you decrease your SUD to a 3 or 4 but can't seem to get it any lower.  In other words, you've achieved substantial improvement, but you can't get to the finish line.  A block exists that is keeping you from reducing the SUD any further

In the algorithm for your particular emotional problem, you'll be instructed on whether and when to use this technique. here is the  procedure to follow:
~ Find the PR spot mentioned above,  located on the outside edge of the  hand, between the wrist and the  base of the little finger.

 ~ Tap about fifteen (15) times with two fingers of the opposite hand.

As long as a psychological reversal persists, TFT ( or any other treatment) won't be able to get the SUD to a 1.  The PR or mini PR correction will open the door that allows TFT to eradicate your problem.


PHYSICAL PAIN
 Millions of people live with physical pain every day of their lives. They have splitting and stabbing headaches. or their neck is hot and burning. Their back is sore and stinging. Their knee is throbbing.

Physical pain can crush the body and spirit, and at its worst, it can destroy any semblance of a normal life. In desperation, people become addicted to painkilling drugs or submit to nerve blocks or risky surgery, often with little to show for it at the end of the day except the same excruciating pain they began with. just as mainstream psychotherapy has a weak track record in healing emotional pain, traditional medicine fares poorly in permanently resolving headaches, back pain, and even the pain of metastasized cancer.

  But the Thought Field Therapy (TFT) can help. the physical pain algorithm above works for the majority of people, and does so rapidly and safely. I have seen it ease or eliminate headaches, back pain, and many other types of discomfort.

TFT Algorithm for Jet Lag (Flight from East To West)

JET LAG ALGORITHM -- EAST TO WEST

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the jet lag that produces such upset in your life. If you are performing this algorithm while in flight, and thus not yet experiencing jet lag symptoms, simply turn your attention to the rapid travel you're doing. 

2. Using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale, rate your distress level at this moment . On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of upset. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3.  Tap solidly five times under the arm, about four inches directly below the armpit, using rigid fingers. In men, this spot is under the arm about even with the nipple. Women can locate this spot by tapping at about the center of the bra under the arm.

4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times.

JET LAG

Whether YOU'RE TRAVELING ACROSS TIME ZONES FOR BUSINESS OR VACATION, jet lag can leave you feeling fatigued and run-down. when your biological clock is disrupted, friends might suggest all kinds of stopgap measures to ease the symptoms, ranging from changes in diet to shifting your sleep/ wake cycle several days before departure. But rarely do these eliminate the problem.

  Most experts believe that jet lag is caused by changes in the traveler's eating and sleeping schedules. I can confirm the difficulty I once had constantly changing eating and sleeping patterns when I was a student and also worked on the graveyard shift at an automobile plant in Detroit. But I think there's more to jet lag than radical disruptions of the circadian rhythms. The earth's electro-magnetic environment affects all living things, and I believe that the primary cause of jet lag is the rapid crossing of the north-south electromagnetic lines of force surrounding the earth as we travel in an easterly or westerly direction.

  Traveling in an eastward direction had always been particularly difficult for me ( others find westward travel more difficulty). In the past, I would need several days --- sometimes as much as a full week --- of adjustment when jetting to Europe, no matter what strategies I tried. But since I've been using the Thought Field Therapy algorithm above, I have been able to eliminate all traces of jet lag in minutes. As you'll see, there are separate algorithms for traveling from west to east, and from east to west.

  Four important points: TAKE NOTE:

1. PERFORM THE ALGORITHM EVERY WAKING HOUR DURING YOUR FLIGHT. IF YOU PLAN TO NAP ON THE PLANE, do the treatment before going to sleep and after awakening. if you've slept during most or all of the flight, perform the algorithm after your arrival to minimize jet lag ; you can also repeat the "recipe" again and again at your destination if you should ever feel symptoms.

2. If you're performing the algorithm on the flight itself, you won't be feeling any symptoms of jet lag yet, so you won't be able to determine an SUD rating at that time. However, when you're using the algorithms at your destination , and you're feeling symptoms associated with the travel, then you can arrive at SUD ratings during the algorithms to evaluate how well the treatments are working.

3. Although the algorithms are effective for the vast majority of people, if they don't work for you, reverse them -- that is, perform the east to west algorithm when traveling west to east, and vice versa.

4. If you're particular susceptible to jet lag problems, avoid consuming alcohol during the flight. Airline cabins are pressurized at an altitude comparable to about 8,000 feet, which can complicate adaptation problems for some people who drink alcoholic products. 


TFT Algorithm For Jet Lag (Flight From West to East)

JET LAG ALGORITHM -- WEST TO EAST

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the jet lag that produces such upset in your life. If you are performing this algorithm while in flight, and thus not yet experiencing jet lag symptoms, simply turn your attention to the rapid travel you're doing. 

2. Using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale, rate the your distress level at this moment . On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of upset. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Tap five times under the eye, about an inch below the bottom of the eyeball, at the bottom of the center of the bony orbit, high on the cheek. Tap firmly, but not hard enough to cause pain.

4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times.

TFT Algorithm For Shame / Embarrassment

SHAME ALGORITHM

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the shame that you'd like to resolve.

2. Using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale, rate the degree of shame you feel at this moment when thinking of the incident associated with it. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of shame. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Tap a treatment point on the center of the chin, just under the lip. Tap this point five times.

4.  Take still another SUD rating and write it down. If it has declined all the way to 1 (which will happen with most people), move to step 5 below. But if it has decreased significantly yet is still not a 1, perform the MINI PR correction as described below, and then repeat the treatment steps above.

5. To ensure that the improvements you've made are complete, perform the floor-to-ceiling eye roll (when the SUD is 2 or lower): Hold the head level and move your eyes down. Then begin tapping the gamut point as you move your eyes upward.

SHAME / EMBARRASSMENT

If you feel shame or embarrassment over events in your past or present, and if it is making it difficult for you to function in your day-to-day activities without emotional distress, then you should use the appropriate Thought Field Therapy (TFT) algorithm. Within minutes, it can put feelings such as these behind you so you can lead your life without the disruption of unproductive emotions. 

  There are separate algorithms for shame (see above) and embarrassment(see below). They are brief and can be carried out in just seconds.

EMBARRASSMENT ALGORITHM

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the embarrassment that you'd like to resolve.

2. Using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale, rate the degree of embarrassment you feel at this moment when thinking about the incident associated with it. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of embarrassment. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.


3. Tap a treatment point on the upper lip below the nose. Tap this point five times.
