THE ISOLABLE NATURE OF PERTURBATIONS

One of the most interesting aspects of this process is that the perturbation is isolable. I use that term because the algorithm will collapse the perturbation in the problem. Thought Field, but in doing so, it won't affect the Thought Field in any other way. If you were  in an automobile accident in which a loved one was seriously injured, for example, you'd still recall the incident in detail. Any profound life experience will always be with you. But thanks to TFT, its emotional charge will be defused. it will no longer trigger excruciating, debilitating distress. When you think about the event, the details might even become clearer once the disruptive emotions are eliminated. nevertheless, there will be no discomfort, no pain. 

  Again, it is not the automobile accident itself that causes the emotional upset but the perturbation. Fortunately, the perturbation is automatically isolated from the rest of the Thought Field and can be eliminated. Everything else in that Thought Field will remain just as it was. After the treatment, when you think about the event that had triggered such psychological upset just minutes earlier, it will cause no such emotional response. If you had been having nightmares associated with the emotional problems, they should disappear as well. Since the perturbation is gone, so are all remnants of the psychological turmoil associated with it.

  Of course, most traditional psychotherapists will tell you that when you lose a loved one, for example, you should go through a long grieving process. they may even say that feeling that grief is necessary, even desirable. But I've always thought this was a rationalization. They simply don't know how to get rid of the pain, so they tell patients, " The pain you're feeling is normal and healthy." No, the pain is neither normal nor healthy.
  
  As a family physician who was mourning the death of a loved one said, "The most compassionate advice I get from friends and professional colleagues who are unfamiliar with TFT is to go into my pain, feel it, and that it will take a year. Well, I found that it doesn't take a year. It can take only minutes, in fact."

   If people want to suffer, well, that's their choice. But I can help them eradicate those negative emotions for good!

  One of my earliest patients was a woman named Julia. She was in her thirties and had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Of course, her grim prognosis was a devastating blow to her and her family. She traveled to California from her home in Chicago to get a second opinion, which turned out to be no more encouraging than the original one: she was given less than a year to live. 
  
  Julia was referred to me by her physician in hopes that I could help her deal with the emotional devastating she was feeling.  She had been crying uncontrollably during most of her waking hours. She experienced panic attacks throughout the day. Julia's reaction to her uncertain future was completely understandable and even appropriate. I never considered her to have a psychological problem; after all, who wouldn't react to a situation like hers with fear and distress? So treating her was completely different than treating someone with, say, a fear of spiders, which is an inappropriate response to a harmless bug. Still, the emotional devastating that kept Julia on the brink of hysteria was making it impossible for her to function and enjoy the remaining time she had with her husband and young children.
  
I treated Julia with Thought Field Therapy (TFT). There was no real need to ask her to tune the Thought Field; she could think of nothing else. Nevertheless, I asked her to focus upon the terrible disease that threatened her life. The I guided her through the rest of the therapy.
  
  Within minutes, Julia said she felt like a different person. Her cancer had not been affected by Thought Field Therapy. But after the treatment, when I asked her to think about her illness and how it might end her life prematurely, she did not become upset. She began talking about the disease matter-of-factly, free of the emotional charge that had been there minutes earlier. To confirm in my own mind that I hadn't merely distracted Julia from her illness, i asked her to explain what she was feeling about the ominous reality of her life circumstances. "Well," she said, "I don't like it at all, that's for sure. But my upset and fear seem to be gone. I feel surprisingly strong right now in the face of this terrible diagnosis." Almost instantly, her outlook on life was dramatically altered. Of course, she would have preferred that her circumstances were very different. But the emotional anguish that had overwhelmed her was gone. 

  What had happened to Julia? by now, you should know the answer. Thanks to TFT, the perturbation in the treated Thought Field had been eliminated; the powerful emotions that had so incapacitated her had collapsed.

  Consider this fact: when the Thought Field is tuned before therapy, it creates enormous distress; after treatment, the same attuned Thought Field produces no upset. I take this as clear evidence that something in the Thought Field has changed as a result of the treatment. Now, thanks to the technology of Heart Rate Variability, we are able to concretely measure the transformation that is occurring in the autonomic nervous system as a result of TFT. Real, verifiable, physiological and emotional changes take place. We are addressing the fundamental cause of an individual's upset -- the perturbation -- and eliminating or removing it during therapy. There is no trace of the distress left. It is a predictable process, occurring in patient after patient.

  When I have followed up with patients like Julia, in some cases over many years, the benefits of the treatment typically persist. In fact, the troubling thoughts have completely lost their ability to trigger psychological turmoil. Even if you try to get back in touch with all that emotional upset, you won't be able to.

  Remember, TFT won't change the reality of the event that might be causing your distress. For example, it won't bring back the spouse who abandoned you and make everything right again. Or if your child has died, you will have to live with that reality for the rest of your life; there is no way to erase that tragedy. But TFT will eliminate the hurt and the pain that have surrounded that terrible event for so long. It will allow you to begin leading and even enjoying your life again. 

TUNING THE THOUGHT FIELD

As you will discover, when you go along, you need more than the right algorithm for TFT to work. An equally crucial part of the therapy involves "tuning the Thought Field" -- that is, thinking about your emotional problem as you are treating it. Remember, the perturbation is what you are targeting, and since it is contained in the Thought Field, you need to access it by thinking about the psychological upset in your life.

  To tune a Thought Field, you don't have to concentrate. The process simply involves intentionally thinking about the problem that is causing you so much distress. As you proceed through the algorithm, you'll need to focus your attention on the person, the event, the situation, or whatever else is associated with your emotional upset, but it won't take any unusual effort. 

  Tuning the Thought Field may actually upset you; in fact, it probably will. If you're grieving over the death of a close friend, for example, or if you're absolutely petrified of dogs, shifting all of your attention to this problem or situation will understandably  make you sad, afraid, upset, or distressed. As that happens, a cascade of psychological activity -- will be triggered. These uncomfortable feelings and experiences can be strong enough to leave you wondering (albeit briefly) whether this is all worth it. But consider it a short-term "sacrifice" worth making. After all, this kind of psychological and physiological response indicates that one or more powerful perturbations are present in that Thought Field and need to be eliminated. While you may be feeling distressed and agitated for a few minutes as you tune the Thought Field and begin to implement the algorithm, thepayoff is that the emotional problem should literally disappear in minutes. The therapy wouldn't be effective if you didn't think about the problem that is causing so much pain. You can't treat a Thought Field unless it's tuned. 

  No doubt this is very different from any other treatment you're familiar with. When you undergo acupuncture, for example, "thought tuning" is not required. Nor is it required by mainstream physicians or chiropractors. These practitioners don't care what you're thinking about when you're under their care or during treatment. Your dentist doesn't ask you to concentrate on your molars while he or she is filling a cavity; your teeth aren't going to respond to the treatment any differently, no matter what's on your mind. In these cases, what you're thinking about is irrelevant. At times, I've challenged skeptics to test this notion by having patients use the algorithms when they are not tuning the Thought Field -- and then to repeat the process while tuning. What a difference!

  As you tune the Thought Field while stimulating the appropriate meridians, you can literally eliminate the negative emotion by collapsing  the perturbation that is the source of the psychological turmoil -- and you can do it within minutes. The fear of heights that may have plagued you for decades . . . the distress over the death of a parent years earlier . . . all of that emotional upset will be gone, usually for good. 

  After successful TFT treatment, you will notice that you are no longer distressed. Some people erroneously believe that this is because they simply aren't thinking of the problem anymore. This is a typical reaction, but you should know that it is impossible to say the words "I cannot think about the problems" without in fact thinking about it. After the TFT treatment, you no longer can get upset while thinking about the same problem. That's because the problem is gone. 










The brain subconsciously senses an innate  fear stimulus and a fear response is generated. The individual is on a bridge, then the bridge becomes encoded as a conditioned stimulus that can activate the CE via the innate stimulus association. The memory of the bridge is stored and when brought to conscious awareness becomes a conditioned stimulus that can generate a fear response. 

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

So with the concept of the Thought Field in mind, what is the root cause of emotional distress? It is what I call a perturbation in a Thought Field. As you may now, in physics and astronomy the term perturbation indicates a disturbance in or difference from the norm, and it implies a random quality. But in Thought Field Therapy, the perturbation is hardly random; it is a unique entity that contains active informations ( a quantum physics concept) of a highly specific sort -- a subtle, but clearly isolable aspect of the Thought Field -- that is responsible for triggering negative emotions. The psychological upset is due not to a trauma or the loss of a love,  for example. These experiences give rise to the perturbation, but it is the perturbation itself that is responsible for generating, guiding, and controlling all of the fundamental changes  within the human body -- influencing the chemicals, hormones, neural pathways, and cognitive and brain activity -- that result in the experience of a specific negative emotion such as fear, anger, or depression.  When you're  grieving, when you compulsively overeat, or when you're anxious, there is a perturbation in a Thought Field. The perturbation holds the information that governs these and all negative or disturbing emotions. 

  For years, although I knew of the existence of this entity in the Thought Field that created emotional disturbances, I did not know what to call it. I sought a  name that would fit the existing knowledge, but would not need to be changed if new information became available. Then the word perturbation came to me, and I opened a dictionary to see what it said. One of the dictionary definitions particularly  excited me. It defined perturbation as "a cause of mental disquietude." When I read that, I knew I'd found the perfect word to describe this entity in the Thought Field. I simply amended the definition slightly, to "the cause of mental disquietude."

  The perturbation is analogous to the concept of the cell in biology and the atom on chemistry. It is the fundamental unit of causation of all disturbing emotions. Keep in mind that if it were the event itself that caused the emotional turmoil -- the loss of a loved one, for example -- you couldn't do much to quiet down the storm; after all, there is no way to change that past event. Fortunately, perturbation can be collapsed and eliminated, thanks to Thought Field Therapy. 

A SHORT CUT TO WELLNESS

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) offers simple, effective prescriptions or "recipes" for psychological ( and in some cases, even physical) recovery. As Roy discovered, it takes just minutes for this technique to work -- not the weeks, months, or years required by traditional psychotherapy. 

   Most therapists who use my procedures today were understabdbly quite skeptical before they tried them. After all, what I do is supposed to be impossible. Those who try Thought Field Therapy (TFT) are surprised to find that it is just as successful as claimed.  Nothing in traditional psychotherapy or current psychological theory could have predicted this unprecedented success -- nor can either explain it. Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is truly revolutionary.  The terms that you'll become familiar with in this blog --- from perturbation to active information to Thought Field itself -- are new to human psychology, and so is this approach to healing. 

   Before Thought Field Therapy (TPF) , when I treated a patient who had just lost a lover, for example, I had him or her relive the most agonizing moments of that broken relationship, session after painful session. The patient often truly suffered through those many hours of therapy. It was retraumatizing --which might have been acceptable if the patient were getting better in the process. But I never felt that I was helping my patient very much to move beyond the pain and resume a normal, productive life. 

   Before Thought Field Therapy (TFT), I would guide my phobic patients through techniques for relaxation, then challenge their false beliefs that were producing the fears. I might hypnotize them, providing them with positive suggestions to combat their phobias. Then I'd directly expose them to the source of their fear -- whether it was crowds, insects, or speaking in public -- increasing their level of exposure little by little over a period of weeks or months. Clients told me that even if they were finally able to stand on the balcony of a high rise building or talk in front of a group, they still felt absolutely horrible. Yes, they understood that their fear was irrational -- that they shouldn't be afraid -- but they couldn't help it. I came to the conclusion that this therapy wasn't eradicating their fear; it was merely persuading them to engage in activities they had absolutely no inclination to do. I certainly wasn't eliminating their fear at its source. And so their suffering persisted. 

   As you've al;ready learned, Though Fild Therapy (TFT) doesn't require w lenghty series of uncomfortable treatment sessions that drag on for many months. Nor does it involve the use of any needles or complicated instruments. But TFT does demand a dramatic shift in thinking about psychological  disturbances, their cause and cure. Like other mental health professionals, i was trained to believe that past experiences, various cognitive factors, body chemistry, the nervous system, and the brain itself were the fundamental causes of negative emotions. But here in this Healthy Wealth blogsite, you'll learn that this isn't the case at all.
