Stress management

Today more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of stress management and worklife balance in their daily in their daily lives.

However everyone experiences stress at some time, whether it be in our personal lives or our working lives. Feeling stressed is not a sign of failure, it is a normal reaction and more a sign of the times, and stress management skills are fast becoming the survival skills needed for the 21st Century.

What causes stress for one person will not necessarily cause stress for another. This depends on each individuals life experiences and coping strategies and what actually acts as the trigger for each person.

It is important to remember that it is not the event or situation that causes the stress, but how you choose to react to that event or situation. However because this choice is normally made by your unconscious mind you will not be consciously aware that you have made any choice. It is therefore useful to be able to learn how to recognise your own patterns in life, what triggers your stress patterns, and how to develop strategies to deal with it.

What is TFT's succes rate?

The success rate of TFT depends on the experience and competence of the practitioner. However, even an Algorithm practitioner who uses pre-defined sets of tapping sequences (algorithms) to treat problems can obtain an 80% success rate.

The next level of competency is that of the diagnostic practitioner who uses techniques derived from AK to devise made-to-measure tapping sequences which are effective with 94% of clients. A diagnostic practitioner may also check you for various

toxins

which are affecting your health and /or preventing TFT from working properly.

The highest level of competency is that of the voice Technology (VT) practitioner. By analysing your voice using special technology the VT practitioner can devise a tapping sequence which is effective with 97% of the population.

How was TFT discovered?

TFT was discovered in 1980 by Dr Roger Callahan phd, one of America's most experienced and distinguished Clinical psychologist. Dr Callahan was dissatisfied with conventional therapy techniques which he found to be time consuming and largely ineffective. He became interested in an alternative therapy called applied kinesiology (AK) which addresses the body's energy meridian system and realised that some of its techniques could have an application in the rapid and efficient diagnosis and treatment of negative emotions.

The first patient treated with what we now know as TFT was a middle-aged lady called Mary, who had a severe phobia of water.

What can TFT be used for?

TFT was developed as a treatment for phobias and traumatic stress. Further research has meant that it can now be used to treat a wide variety of problems including stress and anxiety, panic attacks depression, obsessive compulsive disorder,grief, acute trauma and PTSD, anger, guilt, pain, sexual problems, addictions ( including food, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, nail-biting, etc.) and much more.

What treatments could help tennis elbow?

A herbalist can prescribe a mixture of herbs that can give relief. These will be a combination of anti inflammatory and analgesic herbs but in the long term the use of herbs that take the fluid away and boost the circulation to that area along with diuretics will help to extend the periods between flare up until hopefully a more stable condition is reached.

Exercise can be effective to reduce the long term effects of tennis elbow. It works by increasing the strength of the muscles in the upper wrist and bicep to stabalize the joint whilst it is being used. Doing low resistance, high repetition exercises on these muscles groups increase blood flow, speeds up the healing process and reduces fluid on the joint.
