A Brief History of EFT, and of Tom & Linda.

Dr. Roger Callahan, Ph.D., a Clinical Psychologist in California, developed TFT, or Thought Field Therapy, in 1981. He found substantial success for his patients with different tapping procedures on specific acupuncture meridian points for each emotional and physical symptom. Each symptom has its own unique tapping algorithm. You see, it’s all about the Mind-Body connection. Disturbing thought patterns block the energy flows along the meridian lines in the body. By tapping on specific meridian lines, the energy flow is restored and the negative feelings are eliminated. Once the emotional debris is cleared, many physical ailments also start to fade.

Enter Gary Craig, founder of the World Center for EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Gary studied with Dr. Callahan in the late 1980’s, using TFT with clients and then realized that he could simplify those TFT techniques into the present day EFT. Since then, he has helped thousands of people over the years and teaches EFT to therapists, hypnotherapists, psychologists, life coaches, EFT Practitioners like myself and everyone else who enjoys helping others.

EFT was originally developed to reduce the therapy process from months/years down to minutes/hours. As emotional problems faded, both physical health and personal performance improved (often dramatically). As a result, EFT is spreading quickly among the healing community. It is an emotional version of acupressure wherein certain meridian release points are gently stimulated by tapping on them with the fingertips. Acupuncture without needles.

2,000+ people have been helped by using EFT in individual sessions and/or in workshops with us since August 2004 in the Chicago area, Sedona, AZ, Denver, CO, DE, MD, Washington DC, WV and London, England. My EFT credentials include receiving the EFT Basic Certificate and the Advanced EFT Certificate of Completion. I have attended a 3 day seminar with Dr. Mercola and Carol Tuttle in April, 2006, and the 3 day intensive seminar taught by Gary Craig in Dallas, TX (Feb. 2005) for “Using EFT For Serious Illnesses”. I teach EFT at colleges and other venues.

My experience includes having conducted workshops and discussion groups for the past 40+ years, a Hospice Volunteer for the last 12 years, an Ordained Minister since 2004, and Personal Growth Coaches. Working individually or as a team, we thoroughly enjoy what we feel when our clients experience the release of emotional and physical symptoms from using EFT.

EFT is endorsed by Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Donna Eden, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Norm Shealy, Cheryl Richardson, Dr. Eric Robins & many others.
