I don't really get where science has any real relevance in this. This is therapy not science. :rolleyes:

Snake oil got results too as do witch doctors.

Thanks for all the replies.
Puddingpie, I will Google it and see the technique.
Absolutebounder, yes, sometimes things only work by people's belief in them. But when people have nothing to loose by trying something, and it costs nothing in this case, why not try it.

This might surprise you but often these things are less effective when they are free. the currency of comittment unfortunately is money. but as you say if you have nothing to lose why not try it

I had TFT but in conjunction with hypnotherapy for a fear of heights. It worked for me.
I did have a print out of the sequence of 'taps' incase I wanted to use it again in the future but I haven't felt the need.

Also I have to say I rather pity your clients if you 'use this when bored'. Shouldnt you be doing your level best to help them? After all they are paying you to do so. If you are bored maybe you are in the wrong game.

But how do you know if it works without science? How do you know what would have happened if you hadn't seen the person, or if you just spoke to them, or if you did a sham version of it?

You can only determine if an intervention works by doing trials, which is science. This doesn't only apply to drugs, they do trials in surgery as well. But I won't hold my breath waiting for a paper showing that this works. I'm just glad Prince Charles hasn't got wind of this, otherwise he would be pressing for it to be funded by the NHS.

I can answer this. Sham version works just as well and can be learnt in about 10 mins.

EFT worked for me to come to terms with my 2 miscarriages ( nothing the NHS suggested was helpful) and also for my sister who had very major lifestyle problems.

There are loads of resources on the internet about it. Personally I did go see a professional and finally was able to find peace regarding my lost pregnancies.
