What time does the workshop begin each day?

Unless otherwise advised, the workshop will begin at 8:30 am with sign-ins and a continental breakfast. The working day will begin at 8:45am with a morning break around 10:30 am, lunch from 12 noon to 1:15pm, an afternoon break around 3:00 pm and ending each day at 5 or by 5:00pm.

It is important that you be at the workshop when it begins. Thought Field Therapy is based on the acupuncture system and these spots will be learned very early on each day. It is difficult to catch up if you miss the early part of the training.

What is the cost for attending the training?

The fee for both days is $350.00

What Should I wear to your Thought Field Therapy Training?

Wear anything you like but DO NOT wear fragrances (perfumes, scented hair sprays, etc.) Many attendees have environmental sensitivities and all energy work is more effective and efficient in a fragrance-free environment. Most attendees dress in casual attire.

What is the difference between a TFT Algorithm Training and a TFT Diagnostic Training?

Diagnostic Training involves the use of applied kinesiology or muscle testing. This involves touching the client. It is taught only by those approved by Dr. Roger Callahan (Callahan Techniques), the originator of Thought Field Therapy. Dr. Callahan is constantly improving his diagnostic techniques. Anyone not having this approval and claiming to teach a TFT Diagnostic Training is likely using outdated Thought Field Therapy techniques.

The trainings Suzanne provides are Callahan approved trainings. Thought Field Therapy algorithm trainings should be taken from a Callahan approved instructor as approved instructors have the advantage of benefiting from new techniques as they are studied and approved by Dr. Callahan. Other (non-approved) trainers could be teaching watered down versions or versions they learned from Dr. Callahan years ago. By taking an approved Algorithm Training you will have the opportunity to learn about using TFT to treat anxieties, phobias, grief, trauma, sadness, disappointment, guilt, anger , rage, depression and addictions. This is a hands on interactive training that is designed to introduce you to TFT and to begin to prepare you to use TFT techniques with skill and confidence.

What is the difference between TFT (Thought Field Therapy) and the "newer" EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)?

Several people who have taken Dr. Callahan's extensive training have simply changed the name and called it by their own name. You will come across this from time to time. Others like the "developer" of EFT have taken Dr. Callahan's training and modified it and then called it by a new name. In the system known as EFT, all of the points used by Dr. Callahan are tapped over and over, and often, this can be effective. Techniques known as reversal correction techniques are done automatically with this technique and, as a clinician, you can miss valuable information about your client by having them perform these techniques indiscriminately.
