The manager then heard of a Master Master Technician, Technician, who was known far and wide for his expertise. And so he requested his assistance. When the technician arrived, the manager was somewhat taken aback, since the man was dressed in a shirt and tie, not the typical garb that one would don before doing greasy greasy boiler work. Also the technician carried with him only a very small toolbox, which couldnt have weighed more than a few pounds. After the technician was escorted to the boiler room, he casually surveyed the monstrosity, looking at the gages and tilting his head as he listened. listened. !e thereupon thereupon set his toolbox on a nearby table, table, opened it, and removed a tape measure and a pencil.

1ne way to view human behavior and psychopathology is from the standpoint of external behavior. 9iven this perspective we do not entertain hypothetical internal constructs such as ego, mind, belief, motivation, and so forth. "n concert with the radical behaviorist, we avoid peering inside of the #black box,$ while not going so far as to conclude that there is nothing inside of it. 6xternal behavior is the dependent variable and a host of environmental independent variables are introduced toward producing behavior change. !ere we attempt to establish a relationship between behavior and its context. 7or example, acrophobia may be treated by exposing the phobic patient to gradually or rapidly increasing elevations, imaginary or in vivo, without the option of escape. Avoidance is negatively reinforcing or rewarding, since the anxiety is diminished or alleviated as soon as one escapes from the fear@producing stimuli. "t is assumed that avoidance serves to keep the stimulus@response bond in tact, and that the bond will be severed after a period of time that proves it to be of no value. "ndeed it has been demonstrated that in vivo exposure is significantly more effective than relaxation or cognitive restructuring in the treatment of acrophobia. As another example, if a patient has Posttraumatic Stress Disorder , the behavioral paradigm might guide us to determine the environmental contingencies that elicit the various symptoms including #flashbacks,$ nightmares, hyper@vigilance, heightened startle response, affective numbing, etc. The stimulus@response bonds can then be determined and subected to our treatment efforts. 6ssentially we conclude that the problem is one of conditioning history or learning. 6xtinction of the *@? bonds is the desired outcome in effective therapy. Again we may choose to expose the trauma victim to the various stimuli, predominantly in imagination, while preventing avoidance, thus promoting extinction of the symptoms. "n the tradition of Boseph Wolpe, M8, the extinction procedure may be softened by introducing relaxation while the patient is exposed to the traumatic memory or phobic situation, thus reducing the level of anxiety during exposure. ?elaxation inhibits the anxiety response that is associated with the various stimuli, including the memory of the trauma or, in the case of our acrophobic patient, height. The assumption is that anxiety and relaxation cannot coexist at the same time in the same exact place 4i.e., the patient being treated5. The conditions of such reciprocal inhibition may also be fulfilled with other anxiety@inhibiting states, such as sexual and aggressive responses, that compete with anxiety. There is no doubt that humans are behaving being and that environmental contingencies, extinction, and so on are relevant. *chedules of reinforcement and other variables outlined by the behaviorists are apparent facts at one level of description. ehavior therapies are variably effective, depending upon the condition being treated. "n the case of 3T*8, of all the behavioral techniques, flooding has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, although flooding is also associated with a number of undesirable side effects including panic episodes, depression and alcoholic relapse. Additionally this therapeutic procedure can prove exceptionally uncomfortable for the patient, with several C'@0' minute exposure sessions necessitated over C@&C sessions in order to achieve noteworthy clinical effects. 6ven at this, the most significant clinical results have been within the sixty@ percent range after & desensiti(ation sessions.
Cognitive Paradigm Another way to view human behavior and psychopathology is from the standpoint of cognition. While the behaviorist explores the relationship between behavior and context, the cognitive psychologist attends to the internal factors, the integrative functions between stimulus and response. "n this respect language is often seen as an important mediator of behavior and i t therefore becomes the primary focus of intervention. ?eturning to our acrophobia patient, while there is an obvious stimulus@response bond such that height produces anxiety symptoms, the cognitive paradigm would hold that internal processing is really what causes the anxiety. That is, rather than *@?, we turn our attention to *timulus@"ntegration@?esponse or *@"@?5. 7rom this perspective it is proposed that the person with acrophobia, while observing sign stimuli of the proximity of converging lines of perspective, namely the visual cues that coveys the sense of height, thereupon engages in anxiety@provoking self@talk such as, #This is terribly dangerous and "m bound to slip and fall to my death.$ "t might also be discovered that this internal dialogue is further embellished with an internal image or movie of falling helplessly to the death. The scenario is vivid, convincing and profoundly frightening. !owever the thoughts themselves may be seen as containing an irrational component. The traditional rationally@oriented cognitive therapist will subsequently respond in either a forcefully directive manner, such as is often the case with Albert 6lliss ?ational 6motive ehavior TherapyD or in a relatively non@directive, *ocratic manner, that is characteristic of Aaron T. ecks Eognitive Therapy. oth approaches assist the patient in challenging the validity of these cognitive structures, these images and self@utterances. 7rom 6lliss perspective, the patient would be instructed to dispute this irrational position by recogni(ing that this is merely T7T 26;62 " < >''& ?evision

F
awfulizing or catastrophic thinking, that #having a thought of falling helplessly to your death does not mean that it will inevitably happen,$ and so on. At the same time the patient might receive relevant instruction in the fact that it is not the circumstance of being in high places 4i.e., Activating 6vent or #A$5 that is causing the high level of anxiety 4i.e., Eonsequence or #E$5, but rather the mediator that occurs between A and E 4i.e., "rrational elief or #$5. That is, AE, whereby #A$ represents the height , and #E$ represents the anxiety and avoidance, that is caused by #,$ the internal irrational Belief. *ome cognitive therapies do not so much focus on the issue of rationality as the internal narrative in which the patient engages and through which experience is created. The emphasis is still *@"@?D however, attention is directed at the constructionistic narrative. The patient is assisted in altering the response by altering the narrative via reframing, relabeling, and so. 1f course, a cognitively oriented therapist might choose to attend to internal linguistic factors other than beliefs and narration. Attention to the internal imagery itself might be altered alone or in concert with the internal dialogue. *imilarly, internal tone of voice might be another variable to consider. 7or example alteration of the tone from one of desperation to that of confidence and calm would produce a shift in ones emotional response. A paradigm shift within the cognitive paradigm is found with a neo-cognitive approach, referred to as Psychology of Mind , as promulgated by 9eorge 3ransky, 3h.8. and ?oger Mills, 3h.8. While the source of psychological disturbance is perceived as a function of thought, the 31M approach does not venture into an analysis and disputing of erroneous cognition, attending to narration, and so on. The very process of examining the pathological thought processes is not considered to be advisable, since it may actually serve to reinforce the pathology. "n this respect it is the 31M position that such a process gives the patient an erroneous idea, suggesting that thought is independently powerful, separate from mind. ?ather the 31M patient is led to a philosophic understanding of the effect of thought itself, especially when one abdicates ones own power in relationship to thought. To perceive thought as having power in and of itself is concluded to be incorrect. With this brand of therapy, the patient is taught about the interaction of moods and thoughts, observing that low mood elicits negative thoughts, emotions, and a basic sense of insecurityD whereas, high mood yields quite the opposite. "n the spirit of *t. 7rancis of Assisi, the patient learns that while negative thoughts will inevitably fly through ones head like scavenger crows, #Gou dont have to let them make a nest in your head.$ 3ransky depicts moods as being equivalent to internal weather. "t is neither good nor bad. "t is ust weather, ust moods. !e recommends that we be grateful in our high mood and graceful in our lower ones. 31M holds that everyone has the ability to reali(e mental health and that simply coming from a state of health is a much more efficient and gratifying way to approach therapy, for both the client and therapist. While the behaviorist primarily attends to causal factors in the environment, the cognitive psychologist views the primary cause as within the behaving organism. Eertainly the behaviorist recogni(es that conditioning is an event that somehow manifests within the patientD however, the trigger or essential cause is determined to emanate from the environment. Again the distinctness of the cognitive paradigm is that the cause is internal processing and that linguistic processing is generally involved.
6eurologi) Paradigm esides external behavior, effects from the environment, chemical and cognitive factors, neurology clearly plays a significant role in behavior and the manifestation of psychological problems. 8istinct brain structures have been shown to be relevant in various aspects of cognitive and emotional functioning. 7or example, the hypothalamus is instrumental in the regulation of basic drives such as hunger, thirst, sex and aggressionD the hippocampus is relevant in memory functioningD and the amygdala is involved in a variety of aspects of emotional responsiveness. With respect to the effects of trauma on brain functioning and integrity, 2edoux has proposed an indelibilit y hypothesis that states that 3T*8 results in irreversible lesions in the amygdala, thus accounting for the resistance of 3T*8 to varieties of therapeutic efforts. !owever with regard to learning and memory in general, attempts to locate specific physiological changes in the brain, that is the engrams of memory, have not proved fruitful. Therefore 3ribram, on the basis of these findings and his own research has postulated a holographic model of the brain, suggesting that memory and perception, as well as possibly many other aspects of psychological functioning, are holographically rather than engramatically locali(ed. "n Beyond ypnosis, 2ee 3ulos, 3h.8. states, #"n short, 3ribram discovered that the brain HdoesI more than ust simple digital data processing. "n order to remember, imagine, problem@solve, or appreciate music, the brain creates large@scale interference patterns with information, distributing information content throughout the brain.$ According to 8avid ohm, from which 3ribrim got his holographic ideas, even the universe as a whole, as well as our perception of it, has been posited to exist holographically, although that aspect goes T7T 26;62 " < >''& ?evision

:
beyond our present focus. "t should be noted that many neurophysiology studies have supported 3ribrims holographic hypothesis. While many questions remain as to how the brain and other aspects of the nervous system operate, obviously the hardware of our neurology plays a role in the manifestation of our behavior, psychological functioning, and disturbances. !uman beings are also neurologic beings.
Chemi)al Paradigm Turning our attention to chemistry, it is clear that neurotransmitters, hormones and blood levels of oxygen play a significant role in our functioning and in the manifestation of psychological dysfunction. 1ur acrophobic patient experiences a surge of adrenaline when he attempts to climb a ladder or lean over a balcony from a height of several stories. When our 3T*8 patient was exposed to the original traumatic event, that stress was accompanied by the release of a variety of endogenous neurohormones, including cortisol, oxytocin, vasopressin, endogenous opioids, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Additionally low levels of serotonin, a formidable neurotransmitter, have been shown to be instrumental in exaggerated startle response, impulsivity and aggression, and with respect to the involuntary preoccupation with the trauma. 2ow levels of serotonin are also known to be significant aspects of depression and obsessive@compulsive disorder. Again it can be readily asserted that chemistry, too, is a relevant factor in the formula of psychological functioning and psychological problems. We are chemical beings as much as we are neurologic, systemic, cognitive and behavioral. This leads us to an even more essential component and even more fundamental domain.
8nergy Paradigm 6nergy resides at the most fundamental level of eing. 6insteins dictum, 6Jmc>, asserts that matter and energy are interchangeable aspects of the same reality, and therefore matter is essentially energy frozen in time . "n a related sense, energy is matter waiting to happen or material potentiality. *ince energy operates at the speed of light and thus within a realm outside of time 4Goung, &0KCa5, it also poetically follows that energy is timelessness as yet to be fro(en into matter. *end matter soaring through space at the speed of light and we have pure energy. 6ssentially then, everything in our #material$ reality can be reduced to energy, although Arthur Goung has suggested that action is more fundamental. And could consciousness be even more fundamental yet, as 9oswami has suggestedL 6nergy exists in various states and forms, some states and forms being more readily detectable than others. Thus standard instrumentation can easily measure electricity, as long as the current is of sufficient amperes and volts. The same holds true of electro@mechanical, electro@optical, electro@acoustical and electromagnetic forms of energy. "t is feasible and highly probable, however, that there are degrees and types of energy so subtle that they cannot be detected or accurately measured by current instruments. "f all is essentially energy, it follows that this holds true for the hardware of our nervous system, the neurochemistry and even thought and cognition. While therapy can be conducted at more material levels, it is hypothesi(ed that if it can be directed precisely at an energy level, it will prove more thorough and immediate in its effects.
*ome ,ighly 833i)ient Therapies ?ecently several therapies have emerged that produce rapid therapeutic results, often within a matter of minutes. "ndeed these methods significantly deviate from therapies based on traditional behavioral, cognitive, developmental, systemic, neurologic and chemical paradigms. While most of the developers of the methods do not proffer an energy explanation as to their methods effectiveness, it is relevant to briefly explore each of these approaches before delving in greater depth into the energy paradigm. The reality of efficacious effects demands our attention, especially since methods that produce such results are likely in close proximity to the most immediate or fundamental cause of psychological problems.

:isual05inestheti) "isso)iation ;:95 "< (i)hard Bandler = >ohn rinder ;/8 assists the client in therapeutically dissociating from the negative feelings associated with the traumatic memory, phobic situation, or any negative emotion@inducing situation for that matter, by visually reviewing the event from an altered visual perspective 4Eameron@andler, &0K=5. 1ne approach to ;/8, when treating trauma for example, is to direct the client to visuali(e a snapshot of a moment immediately prior to the event, when the individual was feeling safe or not experiencing anything in particular. Next, dissociation is introduced by having the client watch herself in that past scene, rather than being in that scene. 8issociation can be further enhanced by having the client maintain a perceptual position that entails an additional level of dissociation, as promoted through instructions such as the following+ #Watch yourself watching the younger you way over there in the past going through 4that trauma5.$ Most clients are able to achieve this perceptual shift with linguistic assistance on the part of the therapist. While therapeutic dissociation is maintained, the client is directed to allow the #movie$ of the event to unfold and to become aware of understandings or resources needed in order to promote resolution. 7or instance, it may become evident to the client that, #it is over and " survived.$ The client is then asked to #share$ this knowledge and understanding with the #past self,$ the one who suffered the trauma. 1bviously the sharing takes place in imagery and internal dialogue. 1nce the client perceives her #younger self$ feeling safe and secure, the client may be directed to follow up with a kinesthetic gesture of #reaching out and taking hold$ of the younger self and #bringing her into ones self$ so that she may feel forever safe. This entire procedure often results in a significant reduction or elimination of negative affect with any future recall of the event. Another approach to ;/8 is to have the client imagine that he is seated comfortably in a movie theater, viewing an achromatic snap shot of a scene immediately preceding the trauma. 1nce this scene is in mind, the therapist directs the client to the next level of dissociation by saying words such as the following+ #And now float out of your body seated there in the theater, and float back here in the proection booth with me while we watch you down there seated in the theater, watching the younger you way over there in the past on the movie screen. And continue to remain safely and comfortably up here in the proection booth with me, as we observe you seated in the theater, watching the movie of that traumatic event unfold in slow motion.$ The therapist continues with dissociative language to assist the client in maintaining distance while the movie plays all the way to the end. The client is asked to allow the scene to unfold to a point where he feels relatively safe, allowing that final scene to free(e into a snapshot. Next the therapists asks the client to re@associate into the seated position in the theater+ #And now float back down into your body seated there in the theater, continuing to observe that snapshot of the safe scene after the trauma is over.$ After this phase of the procedure is completed, the client is asked to associate into the scene on the screen. #And now step into that safe moment up on the screen. " am going to ask you to do something that only sounds difficult as " describe it, but you will actually find it fairly easy to do. When " say Obegin, allow the scene to become colorful and to rapidly proceed backwards all the way to the beginning. 6verything should be going in reverse+ gestures, walking, moving, words, and so on. Allow this all to happen very quickly, taking no more than two or three seconds to complete. And when you are at the beginning of the scene, that safe place before it all began, " would like you to stop picturing the scene and to look out at me. 8o you understandL-.?eady-egin.$ After the backwards movie is completed, the therapist directs the client to look at him, so as to stop internal visuali(ation. Ehecking the clients emotional response to the memory generally reveals a significant reduction or elimination of distress. *ometimes this method needs to be repeated a few times so as to eliminate all distress. 8eveloped by andler and 9rinder, ;/8 is a Neuro@2inguistic 3rogramming technique. N23 is a method of modeling and not a theoretical position. "t entails patterning the internal and external behaviors of people who have been able to achieve consistent results in various activities, including psychotherapy. ;/8 is likely modeled from the behavior of renowned therapists such as hypnotists@psychiatrists, Milton !. 6rickson, M8, and 7rederick *. 3earls, M8, 3h.8., founder of 9estalt therapy. "t is based on the recognition of synesthesia patterns, *@? bonds between sensory systems. 7or example, an external or internal visual stimulus can result in an immediate unpleasurable or negative kinesthetic response. When employed to treat trauma, the focus of ;/8 is on interrupting the synesthesia pattern by introducing dissociation while the client attends to the memory of the event. This creates a revised *@? bond. That is, since the individual no longer recalls the trauma in an associated manner, negative emotionality is removed from the memory. This process should not be confused with the global dissociation that is characteristic of conditions such as 3T*8 and various dissociative disorders. While these conditions involve severe disruptions of various integrative functions, ;/8 merely entails a shift in ones T7T 26;62 " < >''& ?evision

"t should be noted that during 6M8? associated memories, evidence of a greater memory network, often emerge and are treated in a similar manner. 1ther phases of treatment include Pbody scanP to evaluate progress and determine targets for additional sets of eye movements if necessary, and Pclosure,P which includes assessment of safety, client debriefing, etc. 7orms of stimulation other than eye movements, including tones, light, and physical tapping, have also been found to be effective. *hapiro believes that the stimulation triggers Pa physiological mechanism that activates the information@ processing systemP 4*hapiro, &00, p.F'5. *he lists various mechanisms that may be responsible for activating and facilitating processing+ P...dual focus of attention...to present stimuli and the past traumaD a differential effect of neuronal bursts caused by the various stimuli, which may serve as the equivalent of a low@voltage current and directly affect synaptic potentialD HandI de@conditioning caused by a relaxation responseP 4*hapiro, &00, p.F'5. The traumatic material is assumed to be processed to an adaptive resolution via accelerated information processing. "t is proposed that this tends to occur naturally with lesser issues, but is frequently blocked when one is exposed to intense experiences such as trauma. "t is hypothesi(ed that 6M8? serves to activate this natural healing mechanism.
Traumati) In)ident (edu)tion ;TI(< Frank er@ode T"? is one of many methods subsumed under what is referred to as Metapsychology, the development of psychiatrist, 7rank 9erbode, partly from his extensive experience in *cientology and 8ianetics. T"? is a specific process whereby the client, referred to as Pviewer,P visuali(es the traumatic incident while the therapist provides instructions. The viewer locates an incident that is believed to be resolvable within the course of the session, which may require several hours. The viewer is instructed to choose a most PinterestingP traumatic event, since it is assumed that PinterestP signals the capacity and inclination to learn. 1nce an incident is located, the viewer is instructed to note any awareness ust prior to the event unfolding. Next the event is viewed silently from beginning to end, after which the viewer reports what was observed. This process is repeated until the viewer arrives at a resolution. "t is assumed that there are gaps in the viewerQs awareness and that by repeatedly viewing the event, this information comes to the fore, thus resulting in alleviation of negative emotions and cognition associated with the event. The resolution of earlier associated trauma, the awareness of which may emerge during this process, is also assumed to be relevant in this regard, as is awareness of the intention that the person had at the time of the traumatic event4s5. While T"? has many commonalties to flooding, it is nonetheless a significant departure from this traditional approach to exposure. Although the behavior therapist may also attend to hisher relationship with the client, the T"? therapist takes great #pains$ and time establishing a deep relationship with the viewer. 9erbode 4&0==5 notes that Earl ?ogers was a significant influence on him in this regard. Additionally T"? assumes that the trauma will be resolved within the course of a single session, even if the session requires several hours to complete.

The therapist often follows a diagnostic process involving a manual muscle testing procedure to discern a specific sequence of meridian points needed in order to achieve therapeutic results. Another T7T diagnostic procedure, the ;oice Technology, determines a sequence by evaluating the patients voice.

After these treatments are completed, the *R8 rating generally dropping by several points, the client is directed through the Nine 9amut Treatments 4095, which involves simultaneously tapping between the little and ring fingers on the back of a hand while doing the following+ eyes closed and opened, eyes down left and down right, eyes in clockwise and counterclockwise directions, humming notes, counting, and humming again.

*ome (oots o3 TFT -)upun)ture9 Meridians 7ive thousand years ago, give or take a century or two, an anonymous person or persons in Ehina discovered that the body has an energy system that follows specific pathways, referred to as channels or meridians. 3redating the Ehinese findings by a couple thousand years the same bioenergy system, albeit with unique distinctions and treatment procedures, was elucidated in "ndia . There is also evidence that similar knowledge sprung up previously in other parts of the world, including 6gypt, Arabia, ra(il, among the antu Tribes of Africa and the 6skimos. The Ehinese system elaborated twelve primary bilateral meridians, each of which passes through a specific organ of the body, including the lungs, heart, stomach, large intestine, liver and so forthD in addition to collector meridians which intersect the front and back of the body and enter the brain, the so called !overning "essel and #entral or #onception "essel . Additionally there are a number of lesser@known collaterals that connect with the primary meridians. The entire system is interconnected such that the flow of energy, referred to by the Ehinese as $i or #hi, 4pronounced chee5 travels from one meridian to the next, circulating throughout the body. !ow the meridians were discovered remains a mystery. esides the likelihood of considerable trial and error, it has been proposed that perhaps the specifics of the bioenergy system were delineated as a result of observing the effects of inuries to soldiers in battle. The locations of the assaults were recorded and correlated with various positive and negative effects. 1n the positive side, if a soldier were inured at a specific location at the shoulder, for instance, the vicinity of a significant point related to the %ung Meridian, possibly a respiratory condition that he had been struggling with for years would miraculously vanish. Many events of this nature could have led to an understanding of a relationship between the shoulders as well as other bodily locations and the lungs. *imilarly other organs were correlated with various l ocations on the body. Another perhaps rather dubious theory is that the specifics of the energy system were discovered as a result of the hapha(ard activities of tailors, accidentally inflicting inuries upon themselves and their patrons. 3ossibly in T7T 26;62 " < >''& ?evision

time the precise locations of such inuries were compared among members of the garment industry and this information eventually migrated into the medical establishment. *till another theory, more or less palatable depending upon ones orientation, is that the people who discovered the bioenergy system possessed higher sensory abilities that made it possible for them to see or palpate the flow within the meridians, and were thus able to precisely delineate the meridian geography. Today while many acupuncturists employ specific therapeutic recipes for needle placement, still other more highly skilled practitioners are reported to detect the stagnant or over active flow of $i via palpation of the relative strength or weakness in twelve specific pulses on the patients wrists.
(o@ert 7. Be)ker! M" ecker has conducted extensive research supportive of the existence of a primitive bodily energy system responsible for regeneration and that also accounts for the effects of acupuncture. With regard to regeneration, he provides convincing evidence that the current of in&ury that is observed at inury sites is not merely a byproduct of inury to cells but is rather consistent with a primitive energy@control system that guides regeneration. "n this respect he has found that the direct current at the site of inury on frogs, which are not highly regenerative, is positively chargedD whereas, the current of in&ury on salamanders, for which regenerative capacities are paramount, is negatively charged. "n eckers words+ The control system that started, regulated, and stopped healing was electrical . "n the case of regeneration, the electrical current was negative in polarityD in the case of simple scarification healing, it was positive in polarity. While these findings could not be extrapolated to other animals, they gave us, for the first time, firm evidence that electricity was a controlling factor in healing processes. They also raised the possibility that the system that organi(ed the total body was electrical in nature and evolutionarily ancient-. ecause it put electromagnetic energy back into biology as a controlling factor, this simple experiment is often referred to as the beginning of the new scientific revolution Hemphasis mineI 4ecker, #rosscurrents , &00', p.

To summari(e, in an extensive sample of women with cervical malignancies, )* percent revealed a negative D# electrical charge as compared to + percent with a positive charge. ecker also conducted research that offers support for the specificity of acupoints and for the existence of meridians. !e reports that an Army colonel initially approached him in the early &0C's, who was investigating the basis of acupuncture and exploring the possibility of an electrical basis. Although he did not get an opportunity to pursue research on acupuncture at that time, he got his chance about a decade later. !e notes that in the early &0K's research into acupuncture was encouraged by the National "nstitute of !ealth after Nixons visit to Ehina serendipitously brought acupuncture into research vogue after Western ournalist, Bames ?eston, was effectively treated in Ehina for postoperative pain with acupuncture after an emergency appendectomy. ecker reports that many of the initial investigators hypothesi(ed that acupuncture operated by way of the placebo effect and that it would therefore work approximately a third of the time and that needle placement would prove irrelevant. #Thus, much of our earliest research merely disproved this fallacy, which the Ehinese@@and apparently the R.*. Army@@had done long ago$ 4 ,he Body lectric, &0=, p. >F:5. ecker offered a more interesting hypothesis into the problem+ The acupuncture meridians, " suggested, were electrical conductors that carried an inury message to the brain, which responded by sending back the appropriate level of direct current to stimulate healing in the troubled area. " also postulated that the brains integration of the input included a message to the conscious mind that we interpreted as pain. 1bviously, if you could block the incoming message, you would prevent the pain, and " suggested that acupuncture did exactly that. Any current grows weaker with distance, due to resistance along the transmission cable. The smaller the amperage and voltage, the faster the current dies out. 6lectrical engineers solve this problem by building booster amplifiers every so often along a power line to get the signal back up to strength. 7or currents measured in nanoamperes and microvolts, the amplifiers would have to be no more than a few inches apart Slike the acupuncture points) " envisioned hundreds of little 8E generators like dark stars sending their electricity along the meridians, an interior galaxy that the Ehinese had found and explored by trial and error over two thousand years ago.

connecting it with nearby tissue fluids, would short it out and stop the pain message. And if the integrity of health really was maintained by a balanced circulation of invisible energy through this constellation, as the Ehinese believed, then various patterns of needle placement might indeed bring the current into harmony-. 4,he Body lectric, &0=, 3p. >F:@>F5 ecker observed that Western medicine reected acupuncture since coterminous anatomical structures for the meridians could not be found. To investigate this and related aspects, he proposed that the skin at the acupoints would evidence electrical variations that would be consistent with his hypothesis that the acupoints were conductors and amplifiers+ ?esistance would be less and electrical conductivity correspondingly greater, and a 8E power source should be detectable right at the point. *ome doctors, especially in Ehina, had already measured lower skin resistance over the points and had begun using slow pulses of current, about two per second, instead of needles. "f we could confirm these variations in skin resistance and measure current coming from the points, wed know acupuncture was real in the Western sense, and we could go on confidently in search of the physical structures. 4ecker, &0=, p. >F5 After ecker received the N"! grant to investigate his hypothesis, he and his associate biophysicist Maria ?eichmanis developed an electrode devise to measure electrical skin resistance. The instrument could be rolled along the meridian lines, providing a reliable continuous reading+ We found that about > percent of the acupuncture points on the human forearm Hthe large intestine and circulation sex lines on the upper and lower surfaces of the armsI did exist, in that they had specific, reproducible, and significant electrical parameters and could be found in all sub&ects tested Hemphasis mineI. 4#rosscurrents, &00', p.:C5 6ven though most of the acupoints on these meridians were not detectable with the ecker@?eichmanis devise, the fact that all subects tested revealed consistency cannot be ignored. ecker suggests that the discrepancy could have been due to any number of factors including the fact that since #acupuncture is such a delicate blend of tradition, experiment, and theory, the other points may be spuriousD or they may simply be weaker, or a different kind, than the ones our instruments revealed$ 4ecker, &0=, 3. >F5. 1ur readings also indicated that the meridians were conducting current, and its polarity, matching the input side of the two@way system wed charted in amphibians, showed a flow into the central nervous system. 6ach point was positive compared to its environs, and each one had a field surrounding it, with its own characteristic shape. We even found a fifteen@minute rhythm in the current strength at the points, superimposed on the circadian 4#about a dayP5 rhythm wed found a decade earlier in the overall 8E system. "t was obvious by then that at least the maor parts of the acupuncture charts had, as the argon goes, #an obective basis in reality. 4ecker, &0=, 3p. >F@>FC5 6ven though the acupoints were #hot,$ that did not necessarily mean that there were meridians beneath the surface that connected the points. !owever, on the basis of comparing skin surface resistance in various areas, ecker and ?eichmanis came to the following conclusions+ Next, we looked at the meridians that seemed to connect these points. We found that these meridians had the electrical characteristics of transmission lines, while nonmeridian skin did not. We concluded that the acupuncture system was really there, and that it most likely operated electrically. *ince clinical studies had shown that relief from pain was the one result that could be reliably produced by acupuncture treatment, this system was quite likely the input route to the brain that transmitted the si gnal of inury. 4ecker, &00', 3. :C5

*pe)i3i) Pho@ia Treatments Case o3 Mary Mary had a severe water phobia and had been in treatment with Eallahan for approximately eighteen months, reali(ing little progress, a sad but true testimonial to the lack of curative power in the psychological therapies available at the time. After this period of Elient@Eentered Therapy, ?ational 6motive Therapy, *ystematic 8esensiti(ation, hypnosis, and other therapies, she was only able to sit near the shallow end of a swimming pool, dangling her feet in the water. #!owever, she had a splitting headache after each meeting, she couldnt look at the water, and it was difficult each time for her to go to the poolD it took real courage$ 4Eallahan, &00', p. 05. Additionally Mary continued to have difficulty taking a bath, only using a small amount of water each time, and she could not even go out of the house when it was raining. *he also suffered weekly nightmares about water consuming her. *ince Mary had had this severe phobia all her life, and there was no evidence of a trauma that led to its development, it certainly appeared to be a hereditary condition. 9iven such minimal progress, Eallahan decided to evaluate Mary via a variation of the applied kinesiology diagnostic testing methods that he was studying. !e had her think about water while assessing energy #flow$ through the various meridians. !e thereupon discovered that only her stomach energy system was out of balance. 9iven this #diagnosis,P he simply had Mary continue to tune into the thought of water while he gently tapped on the bony orbits under her eyes with his fingertips. Within a minute or so Mary said that the problem was gone, that she no longer got #that sick feeling$ in her stomach while she thought about water. Eallahan thereupon decided to test out the results in vivo by inviting Mary to go outside to the swimming pool, since he was treating her in his home office at the time. !ere is how Eallahan reports the event+ " fully expected her to resist as usual but, to my surprise, " had to hurry to keep up with her on the way to the pool. 7or the first time, she looked at the water, put her head near it and splashed water in her face, from the shallow end.

Marys next move frightened me. *he suddenly ran toward the deep end of the pool, and this sudden total absence of fear around the pool was so unusual for her that " shouted, #Mary, be careful)$ " was afraid that she might ump in the pool and drown. *he laughed when she saw my alarm and reassured me, #8ont worry 8octor Eallahan, " know " cant swim.$ H7ourteenI years experience with the treatment has since taught me that the treatment does not cause sudden stupidity. ?espect for reality, " have learned, is not diminished by successful treatment 4Eallahan, &00', 3p. &'@&&5. That was over eighteen years ago, and Mary remains cured of her previous debilitating fear of water. *uch a seemingly absurd treatment actually cured Mary of a condition that none of the other therapies could even touch. This therapy apparently had nothing to do with cognition, other than the fact that it required Mary to think about water while she was being treated. !owever, there was no attempt made to directly challenge or alter her ways of thinking about water, even though one can be sure, udging by the enthusiasm of her actions, that her beliefs about water and her herself shifted automatically with the change brought about by tapping . The cognitive therapy that she had previously received attempted to directly effect a change in her beliefs to little or no avail. Also this was not a hypnotic procedure, nor was it an obvious desensiti(ation method. ?ecall that Mary had previously been ineffectively treated with hypnosis and *ystematic 8esensiti(ation, methods that emphasi(e relaxation, desensiti(ation and suggestion. And surely this change could not simply be accounted for as the result of placebo. 3lacebo seems to require at least some degree of positive expectations on the part of the client andor therapist. 1ne would certainly not be inclined to anticipate such a dramatic change as a result of simply tapping under ones eyes) esides, if placebo was to hold the answer, one would definitely have expected the previous eighteen months of various treatments to have delivered on that count, since they are much more complex, attentive, ritualistic and scientific in appearance. "t would also be incorrect to conclude that the treatment simply worked as a result of distraction, since the other techniques used would certainly have produced some level of distraction as well. uite to the contrary, there appears to have been something more to this treatment, something that cannot be simply minimi(ed, explained away, or interpreted in terms of the generally accepted paradigms in the field. As far as chemical effects are concerned, most psychopharmocologists and allopathic physicians would agree that while depressions and many anxiety disorders often respond favorably to certain psychotropic medications, phobias are an entirely different matter. According to Eallahan, many experts even go so far as to assert that phobias cannot be successfully eliminated. esides, as far as T7T is concerned, there was no ingestion of any chemical compound involved. Tapping under Marys eyes may have resulted in various chemical change at some level, such as by elevating the level of neurotransmitters or endorphins, although that aspect of the treatment effect has not been substantiated at this time. ?ather, Eallahan believes that the ancient meridian maps are correct and that the tapping facilitated a fundamental balancing of the stomach energy system while Marys thought field entailed awareness of water. 3erhaps another explanation could hold more water, but at this point the energy system appears to be the most promising receptacle.
"emonstration and :ideo At this point in the seminar a video is shown of a ;ietnam ;et who was helped to alleviate a fear of heights with T7T. 8emonstrations also follow. 1ver the years participants have been successfully helped with phobias of height, needles, mice, stage fright, elevators, birds, insects, being a passenger in a car, taking a shower, etc. The demonstrations are generally quite rapid and dramatic. 7rom the best we can tell, the vast maority of those treated have remained free of the specific phobia treated.

Trauma Treatments War Trauma A ;ietnam vet came to see me about an alcohol problem and depression that had plagued him since the war. While he received metals of honor for his valor, he also bore emotional and physical evidence of his presence there. The physical condition included shrapnel scars, the aftermath of Agent 1range exposure, a severe gastrointestinal condition, and a host of other problems. As one would guess, he suffered from 3osttraumatic stress 8isorder or P,SD, the condition that used to be called #ombat 'atigue and *hell Shoc3 during the previous wars. 7or him this entailed frequent reminders of the war, visited upon him as nightmares, flashbacks and otherwise traumatic memories. 6ssentially this heros life was in shambles. !e was unable to keep a ob, his relationships were suffering, and he remained on many medications, psychiatric and otherwise, in order to get by. 8uring our second session, he related an incident in which he had to kill an enemy soldier. As he described the event, he became pale, began to shake, and looked like he was about to vomit.

(ape Trauma An eighteen@year@old boyfriend raped arbara when she was thirteen. The trauma she suffered haunted her well into her early thirties. *he had an extensive drug and alcohol problem and evidenced a notably anxious and depressive life style in most respects. 1ver the years she had received treatment at a number of inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities. When " saw her she was also taking a regime of psychiatric medications including lithium, 3ro(ac, and 8esyrel. 6ven so, she was not really doing well at all.

As she discussed the incident, it was evident that she was traumati(ed. *he cried deeply and in many respects seemed to be reliving the event in memory. *he said that she was to blame, that she should have known better, that she had never listened to her mother. "t was as though she were that thirteen@year@old girl once again. While " doubted that all of her psychological problems could be traced back to the rape, there was no question that this was a significantly painful memory that had set her on the path to great misery. This trauma certainly required intensive therapeutic attention. !ating to see her suffer, " initially assisted her in altering the distress by having her shift focus. " asked her to describe various obects in the office such as the end table lamp, knickknacks on the book shelves, the texture of the material on the chair, sounds coming from outside the office, etc. "n this way we distracted her attention away from the distressing internal memory and outward to the relatively neutral external environment. " then offered her the possible benefits of the same technique that " used with the ;ietnam veteran. This trauma treatment took less than ten minutes and it completely resolved arbaras painful memory. All " had her do was attend to the memory while she tapped specific points on her body+ on an eyebrow, under a collarbone, etc. Not only did arbara no longer feel painful emotions while reviewing the memory, but her belief about the situation and herself dramatically changed as well, in the same way that our soldier experienced a cognitive shift. ?ight after the treatment was completed in that incredibly brief time, she was able to tell me with obvious conviction that it was #ust something that happened$ in her past and that she was #not to blame.$ To say the least, " was utterly ama(ed. While it hurt me to do this, in an effort to test the depth of the change " even insinuated at one point that she might have been to blame. #8ont you think you were to blameL)$ " exclaimed with an accusing tone. !er response was an unshaken and calm, #No, " was ust a kid. " dont think " was to blame. !e shouldnt have done what he did.$ The meaning of the event was transformed completely and profoundly without directly attempting to persuade her to think differently.

Thus they arrived at my office. After a few sessions " came to reali(e how severely traumati(ed ill was by the events of his first marriage. " therefore asked him to attend an individual session so we could focus on the painful memories in some detail. 8uring that session we treated three significantly painful memories from those years, each of them being resolved rapidly, within moments. 6ssentially " employed the same methods used for arbara and the soldier, with some variations appropriate to ills specific circumstances. After treating these memories ill was visibly changed, much calmer and relaxed. !e seemed to have a glow about him, and he even stated that he felt #lighter$ and #peaceful.$ When " met with ill and Earol the following week, he reported that the feeling of lightness and peace persisted throughout the week. And Earol noted that ill was becoming emotionally more available. They were on their way to a better relationship.

Treatment Proto)ols lo@al When treating trauma, some patients can simply think about the event in a global manner and the treatment will alleviate all aspects of it.
*eGuential 1thers need the various aspects of the trauma to be treated in the sequence in which they occurred at the time of the event. 1ften treating the earliest aspect of the trauma or the earliest trauma in a related series of traumas, will alleviate all of the proceeding aspects or traumas.
Client Interest "ts my opinion that its best to let the client decide what she wants to work on+ what aspect of the trauma, which trauma, etc. Where the clients interest goes, hisher #power$ is most available.
Past to Present As a basic protocol consideration, if there is a circumstance that is perpetuated in the clients life 4e.g., driving phobia5, treat the past origins first and then the present condition. Also treating the earliest trauma in a series of related traumas often effectively resolves the later ones.
*ome TFT Con)epts Pertur@ations ;PHs< That aspect within the thought field that is the fundamental cause of the psychological problem. 3s generate negative emotions. They are a kind of information, what ohm referred to as #Active "nformation.$ -)tive In3ormation This is the notion that a subtle level of energy can produce a more pervasive effect. The more pervasive effect has the characteristics of the subtler form.
Thought Fields ;t3Hs< Thought is not merely cognitive or even chemical. "t occurs in an energy form. This is why Eallahan refers it to as a tf.
,olons A holon is an aspect of a greater whole. "ts a whole thats an aspect of a larger whole. When treating a thought field, it may be arranged in layers or aspects, each having a somewhat different structure. These are holons.
Tooth! *hoe! Lump ;T*L< Eallahan tells a story about a person who has a toothache and calls the dentist to come in for an appointment. The dentists schedule is rather cramped but he tells the man to come in quickly and hell see what he can do. ?ushing to get to the dentists office the man makes the mistake of putting on shoes that are too tight for him, although due to the pain from the tooth he does not notice the pain. When he arrives at the dentists office he sits on a couch that has a large lump in it but does not notice this either because of the pain. 7inally the dentist brings him in quickly to give him a shot of Novocain and he returns out to the waiting room for the next opening in the dentists schedule. As the Novocain starts to work he notices that his feet hurt and comes to reali(e that he has the wrong shoes on. !e removes the shoes and after his feet start to feel better he becomes very aware of the lump in the couch that he is sitting on. This illustrates different levels of signal strength or even holons that become apparent as each holon is treated along the way. A psychological problem can have many facets in this way. Thus, once a patient is treated for a trauma, for example, as soon as the anxiety related to that event is relieved the person may become aware of anger. After the anger is relieved the person may become aware of sadness and so on. Therapy involves treating one holon after another until there are no holons 4i.e. perturbations in the thought field5 present.

*eGuen)es 8uring the T7T diagnostic procedure, the various meridian points emerge in a sequence and they are treated in that order as well. Eallahan maintains that treatment in the sequence is essential. *ome others in the field, including the present writer, do not maintain this view.
*u@sumption and Collapsing PHs These terms refer to the removal of the perturbations from the thought field. Eallahan used to believe that the perturbations were eliminated altogether but came to view this as incorrect. !is position is that the perturbations are removed from the thought field and subsumed into the greater thought field. Another way to discuss the treatment is to say that the perturbations are collapsed.
Inertial Ladenness This is a term from 8avid ohm, the quantum physicist. This helps to explain the distinction between energy and matter. Matter is slowed down inertia or highly inertia laden. 6nergy, on the other hand, is of a low inertia quality. 3sychological problems are also of low inertia quality and this is why they can be easily treated via Thought 7ield Therapy and other energy approaches.
Impli)ate = 8pli)ate 7rder These are additional terms from 8avid ohm. "t is his position that the universe is enfolded into itself such that every aspect of the universe contains within it the whole of the entire universe in a sense. This is analogous to 8NA. The implicate order with regard to psychological problems is the perturbations in the thought field. The explicate order is the specific disorder such as a phobia, trauma, depression, etc.
-pe Pro@lem This is a phenomenon that manifests after a person has been successfully treated with T7T. The treatment occurs so rapidly that frequently the patient claims that heshe has been #distracted.$ The patient is able to observe that they are no longer distressed but they find it exceptionally difficult to attribute the change to the tapping treatment. 1ther signs of the apex problem are when the patient says, #"t doesnt bother me N1W.$ 1ften the patient will claim that heshe is able to make themselves distressed about the event again if they only were to tryD however, generally when requested to do so they are unable to succeed. The apex problem is evident with any therapy that proceeds very rapidly. Eallahan has discussed this in terms of 9a((anigas left brain interpreter , which is common with patients who have had the corpus colossum severed. Additionally Eallahan has talked about the apex problem as #hardening of the categories.$ "n this respect the patient has other beliefs about how things work and is unable to perceive the reality of what has occurred therapeutically, except as to interpret it with regard to concepts such as distraction, and sometimes even claiming that the situationproblem never bothered them in the first place. This is why it is perhaps useful to have some patients write down the level of distress before the treatment begins. The apex problem can also be discussed as related to phenomena such as hypnotic amnesia and state dependent learning.
Client Preparation 8perimental -pproa)h At this point it is ethical to let the client know that this is an experimental approach that has limited experimental documentation, although a large number of therapists are finding it highly effective in treating these conditions.
8planation o3 Method "nformed consent requires the foregoing as well as an explanation of T7T to the client. 8ont overdue it on the explanation though, since that can be quite boring to some clients. !owever, the client ought to know #where were going$ with this.

Com@ine with other Treatment -pproa)hes At the early stages of doing this work, it is only appropriate to combine within a general therapy framework. 8ont throw out what you already know to be effective. Maintenance of rapport with the client is also highly important, " believe, and this requires pacing the clients expectations about therapy as well. To simply launch into this approach will be a turn off to some clients. "ts best to take time introducing the method after youve done a history, mental status, etc.
"e@rie3ing The client needs to be appropriately debriefed after the treatment has been provided. *ee below for some areas of consideration.
May or may not have it all, possibility of recalling related memories Elient can repeat algorithm on own+ write out for home use e available to client ?ecommend that client not think about painful memories, not be exposed to undesirable triggers.

-ddi)tive rge Treatments -niety0-ddi)tion Conne)tion Eallahan maintains that essentially addiction is addiction to a tranquili(er, something that settles down anxiety. At the core, addiction is an anxiety disorder.
Withdrawal as Pani) "t is Eallahans position that withdrawal is really a panic attack of sorts, an exceptionally high level of anxiety. !e reports that he has been able to alleviate withdrawal from heroin and other drugs by using T7T.
-ddi)tion v -ddi)tive rges There is a distinction between addition and addictive urges. Addictive urges are easily alleviatedD whereas, addiction is a much more complex phenomenon. The patient who has an addiction may turn to the addictive drug as a means of settling anxiety, to settle depression, as an aspect of hisher belief in their essential worthlessness, etc. 9enerally the person is not reversed for getting over the addictive urge, and this is why they really turn to the drug. The drug, to a large extent, alleviates the addictive urge although it also has a number of other byproducts. ?eversal for getting over the addiction is usually quite prominent however.
