Thought Field Therapy™ (TFT) is an energy-based form of psychotherapy based on the premise that the human body consists of energy fields. Any imbalance in the energy field due to stress (which causes increased levels of cortisol), or a build-up of negative emotions can cause illness over time. TFT is designed to reduce symptoms of psychological distress by utilizing a sequence of finger-tapping on certain body meridians to modify energy flow, restore energy alignment, stabilize coherence of the body/mind, release negative emotions, and facilitate emotional healing.
