So as far as I'm concerned, the research base for TFT is effectively nonexistent. The results are amazing as emotional problems often disappear in minutes. It works by stimulating your body's energy meridians by tapping the correct sequence for you. Almost all of the supposed research rests on anecdotes, case studies, testimonials, or, in a few cases, controlled studies that are so poorly done as to be almost not interpretable. Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a new technique for the fast relief of all kinds of emotional distress. PEMF is cellular exercise based on the principles of pulsed electromagnetic. That would be very quick, because there's virtually no research whatsoever in published journals. What is PEMF PEMF therapy is the application of pulsed magnetic fields to the entire body and targeted areas of issue. Q: Can you talk to me about what kind of research exists on thought field therapy? But it is, as is often the case, very popular among a small but apparently growing number of practitioners. It is not taken seriously by psychological scientists or by people who do psychotherapy outcome research or who publish in mainstream journals. Q: How is thought field therapy regarded in the mental health community? You can think of thought field therapy almost as a kind of psychological acupuncture. And that those perturbances or blockages are responsible for various psychological disturbances, and that the best way to remove those perturbations or disturbances is by various manipulations, such as tapping on various bodily areas. The theory behind thought field therapy is that each of us is surrounded, or has, various energy fields that occasionally get blocked up, or perturbed, as it's often called.
