Abstract

The first stage in helping individuals recover from traumatic events requires managing the overwhelming symptoms of reexperiencing, avoidance or numbing, and increased arousal. Thought Field Therapy (TFT) has been demonstrated in a variety of practice settings as a safe and effective technique in this first stage of recovery. It does not require the recounting of the events and does not have any apparent negative side effects. The technique, its development, and relevant research are reviewed. Descriptions of the range of settings in which it can be used, including self-care for therapist, are discussed. Its integration into several practice settings is presented. A common TFT procedure is provided for further exploration by practitioners.
