Trauma is one of the most successful areas for the application of TAT and EFT techniques, because relief in most cases is so immediate, outstanding, and long-lasting.
TAT and traumatic stress in Combat Veterans
TAT has recently had amazing results with PTSD in combat veterans. Below is what one veteran shared about his experience with TAT. To see videos and read more of their stories go to http://www.tatlife.net/07TATLife-StoryT.htm
I am an ex-Special Forces, and Army Ranger Sniper soldier, who has seen combat in several locations around the world. I have known for years that I looked at the world different after coming back from combat. I did not know how to deal with the nightmares, flashbacks, etc. until I met Tapas Fleming. Using her very simple steps, I have changed from being an emotionally cut off soldier, father and husband. I 'had' several incidents that caused these reactions, all were related to the combat I saw over all the years I was active. I joined a workshop that was being held in Columbus, Ga. right outside the gates of Fort Benning GA to prove that this technique that Tapas developed would not work. After the first session I did, I could not believe how different I felt. I no longer felt the guilt that I had lived with all these years. I have worked on a different memory every night for 4 days now and have not had a recurrence of anything I have worked on with Tapas. I finally have been able to sleep at night without waking up in combat. I can still recall the memories, just without all the guilt, shame and fear. I finally have my life back and can become the father, son and husband that I once was.

"As a 32 year veteran of the Los Angeles Fire Department and retired Deputy Fire Chief, I have seen hundreds of horrific and devastating incidents including plane crashes, mutilations and terrible accidents. As a paramedic I saw first hand the worst of everything and personally treated thousands of patients, many of whom died tragically. I have seen the toll on paramedics and firefighters working under my command. In my own case, I had serious repercussions from the worst sights, sounds and smells from various plane crashes over the years…re-visualized many times in my dreams and in flashbacks… One session of EFT seems to have completely cured me of any emotional after effects…. In my view, EFT should be adopted as the gold standard in "critical incident debriefing" for everyone in the Emergency Medical Services system and Fire Services."

Through TAT and EFT, thousands of people around the world have freed themselves of feelings of trauma and stress.
These techniques are well suited for Disaster-related Trauma/Fear
The Mexican Association for Crisis Therapy has also used TAT with large groups of children (about 1,652) after natural disasters in Mexico (floods), Nicaragua (floods and landslides), Colombia (earthquake) and Venezuela (floods & landslide). TAT has also been used in the Tsunami relief in Sri Lanka, India and Aceh and in Indonesia after recent earthquakes.
They are also use by the Green Cross for helping the survivors as well as the workers themselves.
These techniques can be use in any situation and can easily be shared with others.
If you or someone you know is affected by a past trauma please consider contacting me to see how these techniques could help.
