Unlocking the Power of TBT: Case Studies

I'm excited to share real-world examples of how TBT has positively impacted my clients' lives. These case studies played a pivotal role in the development of this powerful technique.

Witness firsthand how TBT can effectively address trauma and restore a sense of well-being. Many unwanted behaviours stem from unresolved trauma, and early childhood experiences significantly shape our personalities.

When using TBT, it's essential to focus on the underlying causes of negative behaviours rather than the behaviours themselves. If the problem is not rooted in a pathology, TBT can be a transformational tool for change.

With my clients' permission, I'm sharing these case studies to provide valuable insights into how TBT works. Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like to delve deeper into a specific case and learn more about my observations.


Permission granted to share this session:   All names have been changed to protect the clients.  All male clients referred to as John and females as Jane.  References to locations are also changed.  TBT Sessions were performed in 1994 forward...

Vietnam Veteran trapped in recurring (PTS) 'post traumatic stress' syndrome. Symptoms reoccurring for decades, and finally finds permanent relief with one TBT Session!

I had the opportunity to work with John, a veteran from the Army. He had heard that I might be able to help him and after several years on prescribed medications (nortriptyline, citalopram and melatonin), therapy with psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, etc,  he thought he would give TBT a try as a last resort. John had served in Vietnam from 1965 to 1968. During that period he has witnessed a lot of death, destruction and violence. The most traumatic incident during that period was the death of his best friend who was killed by enemy fire before his eyes.

This particular memory had haunted him all these years and he blamed himself for not having prevented Jim’s death.(core trauma event) The symptoms he had been suffering  were typical of PTS: nightmares, recurring thoughts, flashbacks, and intense anger/grief.  John was having difficulties relating with his family and friends.  Severe mood swings were part of his daily emotional routine.  John  blamed the commander for not taking enough safety measures and for being a ‘glory hunter’,  sending guys into known dangers. This patrol was following a fresh trail into the jungle and had stepped right into the enemy bunkers. John felt he should have got shot instead of Jim and then he wouldn’t be carrying all this guilt and grief.  The commander didn’t make a right decision  and Jim was killed. After explaining briefly to John the 4 steps of TBT we started the session  (we sat in the back yard veranda, in this safe and calm place and  very casually did our session)

I asked John to relate the whole event to me and asked him to measure his intensity of feelings from 0-10. He said they were 10++ and my observation of his physiology confirmed this.  His face was flushed and bright red, his jaw was tightly clenched and his knuckles were tight and white. I asked John to narrow down his memory to the most  intense part of the story  (the SHOCK point) and with his permission I did the tapping.   I asked him to repeat the story around the shock point and recall  details and particularly bodily sensations.   We repeated this 3 or 4 times. Each time I asked him to go over the shock point as best he could.  The shock point revolved around the intense blue colour of Jim's eyes. Even in death his eyes were an amazing blue. 

We completed the session and here is the feedback from John. “I realised it was not Jim, it was just an empty shell that once housed my friend. It was a war and people die.  I did the best I could under the circumstances. I couldn’t save my friend,  I can honour his life by remembering the good times we had”. I checked with John the following day, and he told me he had the BEST sleep in 30 years! Then the same again the next night. Previously John has lived with recurring nightmares and flashbacks. Within a week John  does not have any of the old negative emotions he was experiencing in the past 30 plus years. Most importantly the nightmares have not occurred since the TBT treatment.  John is going to continue to monitor the symptoms he previously had and let me know if there is a recurrence.

It has been a few years now and I've not received complaints from John.  The power of TBT and mind body interventions!


FEAR OF DOGS

A simple case and the results in a fabulous career opportunity.

About 5 years ago my neighbour disclosed to me she had an intense fear of dogs!  She said that even though my dog, a large husky, was friendly and mild she was afraid to even come to my gate in case she was confronted by the dog.

I could see from her body language that this was a genuine phobia.  Her stress levels were at the highest point and she was indeed frozen in that state at the mere thought of being confronted by a dog.

It turns out as a child she had been attacked by a dog and since then avoided all contact with dogs.  She asked me to help her and after gathering data on her phobia she was able to identify the traumatic event which occurred when she was around 5 years old.   The shock point was narrowed down to all those huge teeth in the dogs mouth.  It as a very visual shock point.  The teeth were very white and sharp.

This was indeed a simple trauma to resolve.  Following the 4 step TBT protocol she was quite relieved when she relived the trauma event to test the results.

The real test was waiting …in one hour she called me elated that when visiting another friend whose neighbour had a large dog with shiny white teeth, she surprisingly had no fear and not only patted and played with the dog but she sent me a selfie with the dog…teeth and all.  Her teeth and the dogs  Both with great big smiles .

All fear gone with one session of TBT.   Of course I asked her to be careful around unknown dogs and ask permission from owners before making contact with them.

That was 5 years ago and I got a message from her today….she has finally got her DREAM JOB.   Working with dogs.  Yes her company is training her for this key role and position.   She is delighted and said that she never dreamed of such opportunities while she was trapped in her fears.  I was so pleased for her.  Such a competent and caring person now in the perfect job role.  


FEAR OF FAILURE/SUCCESS …CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND CONDITIONING

Early childhood trauma and personality

John was referred to be through a social worker for undisclosed anxiety.  He was  60 years of age and getting close to retirement.  His main complaint about life was that he had never been able to succeed in any aspect of his life.  For example any business ventures he undertook started off well and then crashed.  There was a point at which he would fail just as all seemed to be going well.  His relationships with wives and partners followed the same pattern.  He referred to it as the opposite of the Midas touch.

John undertook many courses and trainings to change this pattern.  No matter how many coaches he had and the number of self help or formal trainings he undertook, his life pattern in failure continued.  

At our first meeting I asked John to think about how this pattern in life started and what traumatic event had set up this pattern.  My question to John was who taught him to fail?  This simple question triggered a traumatic memory of when he was 10 years old.  His face and body language showed how powerful this was.  He was amazed as this memory had never surfaced before after the initial event.  It was buried deep and out of sight.

The story John told me was that he had an older brother whom he adored and followed everywhere.  One day all that changed in an instance when his brother grabbed him by the shoulders and yelled  “you will never succeed in life…you will fail at every thing in life”.   John was stunned by the vehemence these words were shouted at him.  Left him stunned in a state of shock and disbelief that his beloved elder brother said that. 

Why did his brother do that?  What John didn't know then was that his brother was actually his uncle and Johns birth had been disguised so as not to bring shame to this good catholic family.  When Johns sister (mother) became pregnant, the family pretended John was their youngest child.  The only one who didn't know the truth was John.  His brother was so angry at keeping this secret and pretending about their relationship.

That was the traumatic event and the shock point were those powerful words which became an unconscious command and John lived out his life never succeeding as he was commanded.

We did our TBT session and John was amazed at how he clearly saw the reasons for his pattern.  He had followed his beloved brothers commands unknowingly.  The pieces of this puzzle started to fall into place.  John wondered how his life would have been had he been aware of where this pattern was coming from and released it early in life.

Even though he was at the end of his working life and ready for retirement, he was he was very grateful to have uncovered a reason for this pattern.


INTENSE TRAUMA RESOLVED IN A COUPLE OF TBT SESSIONS

Case study #1.

This is the story of a brand new TBT practitioner and a practising psychotherapist, who tested out how effective TBT is in resolving the symptoms of trauma. I will call him John. All names and locations are changed to protect the people involved.

John had just achieved his TBT certified practitioners level. As a clinical psychologist, he was very keen to help his clients get over their life traumas.

John had one client that he had mentioned to me when he first started to use TBT about a year ago. This client was highly traumatised, suffering from flashbacks, panic attacks and hyper vigilance. He was utterly inconsolable and in deep grief and shock. He could not stop crying. The trauma was that the client had discovered the body of his murdered girlfriend. In their apartment. The scene was horrific and he found her tied up body with a slashed throat. Blood was everywhere, on the floor, the walls, the furniture and she was covered in it.

He was so upset and could not move forward. At the beginning of therapy, he could not even mention her name or even think about the incident, without bursting into tears and shaking.

John did a major TBT session with the client, and then another one to ensure all or most of the trauma was cleared up. Shortly after, John with his client visited the scene of the crime.  Surprisingly enough, the client was quite calm and, matter of fact, accepting the event especially in the crime scene. At the crime scene, John asked him to retell the whole event of him finding her. During the detailed narration, the client rated his feelings at 2 which were really low considering that at the beginning the ratings were over the scale completely. What a great outcome! John’s client can move on with his life finally. His overall mood also drastically improved and he could smile again. This was John’s first major trauma client where he used TBT.  

This is a great testimonial to the power of TBT. Many thanks to John for sharing.

Case study #2.

John had a long term patient and had used conventional tapping therapy with her for her panic attacks. One Saturday, the client called John at home begging for help. She was distraught as she found out her beloved brother had been murdered the night before. The brother had intervened to break up a fight and got stabbed and died immediately. She was completely destroyed when she got the news from her mother via the phone an hour earlier. She could not sleep properly on Saturday and Sunday, and ruminated the whole time about her brother, as she was devastated. John was able to see her on Monday at his office and he did the TBT protocol, which took only an hour! After the session, she was fully able to talk normally about her brother without getting triggered. She was able to attend the funeral and the whole subject was not a problem anymore. This is one hour of a TBT session!

Training with one of the certified TBT trainers is essential to achieve such a high level of success.

SNAKE PHOBIA

Symptoms:  Nightmares, flashbacks, recurring thoughts, hyperventilation, elevated heartbeat, sweating, shaking etc.

Simple phobia, complicated associations

A young woman was referred to me for a phobia of snakes..  Yes indeed she exhibited  all the symptoms at the mere mention of snakes, even though she had never encountered a snake in her life.

We looked at pictures of snakes and we watched the natural history channel on snakes to elicit her reactions.  There was no evidence of her EVER having been traumatised by a snake.  WHY?   There are NO SNAKES in New Zealand.  No snakes in the bush or gardens because they never evolved or colonised this island nation and the bio security laws has kept NZ a snake free zone right up to present day.  This young woman, Jane had never travelled overseas or any place where she may have encountered snakes.  

We used TBT to extinguish the triggers for fear of snakes.  That was simple.

So why this phobic reaction?  Upon further enquiry Jane disclosed that the phobia developed after she had a nightmare in which she fell into a pit of snakes.  I asked her what had been happening in her life prior to the nightmare.  She disclosed that as a young child she was sexually molested by a close family member and the double bind of disclosure developed into the phobia.  To tell or not to tell was going to be disastrous. 

We proceed to work on the sexual assault issues and this resolved the snake phobia.   Result was no more nightmare and no more phobic reactions to pictures of snakes.  It’s been a decade and the phobia has not returned.  Of course it doesn’t mean that she will like snakes if she comes across one.  However she is freed from the unnecessary and incorrectly paired reactions.

OCD AND TRAUMA

Solution focused trauma intervention

PULLING OUT EYELASHES AND BROWS

Jane my new client appeared to look quite normal.  However her eye brows were pencilled on as she continuously ripped out any regrowth of both brows and lashes.   It made her face look like a rubber doll.

This lash pulling behaviour had prevented her from leading a normal life.  She was unable to function in ordinary situations and not able to get a job and maintain any friendships.  Jane was totally focused on the hair pulling habit and could not break free of it.  She had tried all types of therapies without success.  She had heard me speak on a radio show and took the initiative to have a session with TBT.

I asked her the leading questions about traumas in her life especially around the time when she started pulling out the lashes.  It had to start at some point as surely she was not born with the habit of hair pulling.  Jane agreed and thought about when this habit may have commenced.

She recalls that one day she overhead her parents arguing about separating and divorcing.  Jane was outside the house window when she heard their conversation.  She was shocked and felt terrified as she had no idea why this should happen..  Jane adored both her parents and she was under 10 years of age when her parents decided to split up.  This was the biggest trauma in her  young life.

Jane recalls tugging on her eyebrows and ripping out the hairs one at a time.  A very deliberate act which gave her a sense of control and relief as she pulled out her brows and lashes.  She was in control and the physical pain diverted her attention from her trauma.  It became her coping mechanism during any stressful situations.  

We agreed that the words she heard stung her in the heart.  This was her shock point. The four steps of TBT were applied  successfully and Jane assessed the dramatic decrease in the ratings and bodily sensations. I received her feedback a week later and Jane informed me that she was not pulling out her brows an lashes.  She just didn’t feel like doing that anymore.  Noe there was regrowth after years.  Success.


FLASHBACKS OF BOMB BLAST – TRIGGERED BY CUP OF TEA

Some of you may remember a particular bomb blast in India at an ashram town.  This happened a while ago.  A GP doctor referred a young woman to me who was a victim of the attack.  She did not suffer any physical damage but being in the centre of the blast, witnessed the carnage but miraculously escaped with her life.  However the psychological and emotional damage was lasting.

Jane was  unable to continue with her well established dancing career when she returned home.  In fact she also withdrew from most social activities and refused to meet with family and friends.

This was a simple straight forward trauma to deal with.  It was a one time incident  and therefore was the core incident.  Jane was suffering from nightmares and intense flashbacks.  The interesting connection with the flashbacks was the trigger.  Every time she saw or thought of a cup of tea, the whole incident would replay itself and send her into a roller coaster of uncontrollable fear emotions. 

The story was that Jane was in India at an ashram and was sitting with an local friend about to drink tea from the near by chai vendor.   As Jane took her cup of tea and was about to take a sip, the calm and happy atmosphere was shattered  instantly with a loud explosion, smoke, dirt, confusion and screams.  Jane was stunned and her body was numb.  She found herself looking at body parts around her and the most shocking was the parts of her companion  lay in several pieces around her and were still twitching.  You can see how horrific and shocking this was.

Jane had tried all sorts of therapies and medications but could not get these images out of her mind especially since the trigger was the cup of tea which is such a common drink everywhere.  Her GP who is an Allopathic and homeopathic doctor recommended Jane see me as the GP had seen good results for her other clients with  TBT.

Yes, we did TBT and it was a ONE session trauma resolution.  The trauma event was clear, the shock point was clear, the ratings by the client were evident.  Yes, she choose to do the step 3 and was quite relieved and amused by the bodily response to the original trauma.  It was gone, not there, just a story now.  

She went on to follow her dreams of going overseas and joining a prestigious dance company and living out her life ambitions and dreams.   Jane was so overjoyed that she was able to move on from the terrifying trauma.

The follow up meeting we had so I could check if she was quite over the trauma,  Yes we shared a cup of tea.  There was a smile on her lips as we enjoyed our drink together.   


RELEASING THE TRAUMA OF FATHERS SUICIDE

This client was referred to me from the corrections department.  Jane was an angry young woman and had been in and out of prison from a young age for physical assaults, fights and disorderly behaviour.

Her energy bristled with rage and her energy was so aggressive, like a storm.

As soon as she came into my office she burst forth with an angry triage of accusations, blame etc.  She immediately made it clear that in all the counselling, therapy etc she had received no one had  been able to help her with traumas in her life.  So I asked her the magic question.  What in your opinion is your major trauma?  She responded that there were several traumatic incidents but the most painful and darkest of all happened when she was 5 years old.

It was a Sunday morning and her mother had gone to church leaving little Jane in the house.  Jane went to look for her father who was in the garage.  When she opened the door she was shocked to see her beloved father lying by the exhaust pipe of the car.  He had committed suicide.  There was his dead body limp and pale.  This is how she described it.  She knew instantly that he was dead.  Jane was devastated.  This was the worst trauma she had experienced.  

Situation went from bad to worse.  She was not able to connect with her mother or get over this trauma.  So started a long list of offending, violence, home invasions, fights and immense anger at the everyone and anyone who crossed her path.  She spent many years in and out of probation and on courses such as anger management etc.

We did TBT on the discovery of her fathers dead body.  It was such a vivid memory.  She had been having flashbacks daily and nightmare of this scene.  In this session we skipped step 3 as she choose to do so.  I saw her one more time and checked her ratings on the discovery incident and there was no attachment or triggering.

Jane went on to build her life now that the anger and blame had been released from her.  She choose to make a career in the financial sector.  Months later she came to see to to proudly show me that she had secured a position in international banking, her name tag on her uniform proudly displayed.   Yes even with a criminal record, some one with a sense of fairness had decided to give her a chance.  Imagine that.

However, to top it all, she was a martial arts expert and all the street fighting had finally been put to good use.  She was top of her form with black several levels of black belts.  She got to represent her country at an international event.  How wonderful is that.  Getting rid of her trauma, allowed her to change her life at so many levels and achieve her fullest potential.  What a legend she became.


Positive conditioned response with negative consequences

A young woman Jane was referred to me by her mother.  She had been diagnosed with the condition known as bulimia.  Whether she was bulimic, I don't know but her behaviour certainly suggested an unusual relationship with some foods.

Often Jane would gorge herself then force herself to throw up.  Upon searching for more information about this behaviour Jane said that she only forced vomit with certain foods and I got her to tell me the story about how this behaviour started.  What trauma lay underneath ???

On exploring how this developed, Jane told me that when she was a child her parents had separated.  She loved both mother and father.  It was decided that she stay with her father.  She missed her mother terribly and recalled how every Sunday mother would get ready for baking bread and the two of them would sit in the kitchen waiting for the bread to bake.  All the time the smell was so wonderful  It was a beautiful time for Jane to be so close with her mother, in the kitchen ….getting the loaves out, allowing them to cool and then slicing them and eating with a dollop of butter.  The smell recreated the wonderful times she spent with her mother, just the two of them sharing very special moments.

Jane rented a flat near a bakery and every Sunday, her day off from work, Jane would wake up to the heavenly smell of freshly baking bread.  It would waft through her flat. The association between the aroma and loving times with her mother was extremely strong.  She would get ready and make her way to the bakery and wait for the doors to open.  Jane would buy a couple or more loaves of the soft newly baked bread and rush back to her flat.   She would proceed to eat all the bread.  It gave her great satisfaction to relive feelings of love she experienced before the dreadful trauma of her parents break up.  As her stomach got to bursting point she would put her fingers down her throat and force herself to throw up.    As unpleasant as vomiting was, she continued to do this every Sunday.  It was her way of coping with her devastating childhood trauma. 

When Jane recognised where this habit was coming from she was eager to address and change the unhealthy part of it.  We treated the main trauma memory of the parental separation with TBT.

When I checked with Jane’s mother a month later, she informed me that Jane had stopped the gorging and throwing up.  She just lost the urge.  Jane was no longer triggered to gorge herself by the smell of bread and yet able to fondly remember the loving times with her mother.   Her conditioned response disappeared after the trauma was eliminated


JOHN   Most violent, chronic offender!

Transformation of reprehensible, anti social behaviour eventually lead to management position! John had history of physical violence and was in the probation system since early age. Daily he would look for opportunities to vent violently and physically for no known reason (his words)..

John joined the army as soon as he could and got into the special forces.  He was able to use this choice of career to manage his anger in an acceptable manner.  There was plenty of physical work and contact sports in the curriculum.

I asked John what made him so angry and violent.  He recounted many incidents in his early childhood. His father was an extremely violent man and punished his kids and wife for the slightest infringements.  John recalls when his mother would try to leave with the kids, how violent his father would become, dragging the mother by the hair and flinging her out on the street as John stood by helplessly watching.  There a time at the dinner table when the father was so angry that he chopped off a digit of one of the other boys finger.   There were several times when the kids would get stabbed by forks at the dinner table because they had upset the father.  John had no chance to retaliate as he was just a little kid.  Violence was a daily occurrence in Johns early childhood.

The incident which stood out in Johns mind was when he was unable to complete a gardening chore according to his fathers instructions.  John had to dig up 2 rows of potatoes with a pitch fork for dinner.  He was instructed to make sure he didn't get any punctures in the potatoes.  When father returned from work and examined the potatoes he was incensed as most of the potatoes had been punctured by the pitchfork.  John received a huge beating.  He was 6 years old, hardly big enough to handle a pitchfork.  From then on the sight of potatoes would trigger an intense anger in John.  This was the core event of brutality.

We did the 4 step TBT procedure and John was able to fully release this trauma and the anger and grief held in his body.  We also applied TBT on some other incidents as well to make sure that as much of the stored anger was released.

What did this allow him to do with his life?  He got  a job working in a winery/.  John started out working in the fields with the grape vines.  He worked himself up and then started learning about the rest of wine making.  John did so well and within a year he was promoted to the position of Manager.  He called me to tell me how well his life was going and now he was in charge of a small private winery.  What an achievement for him as he could barely hold a job in the past when his anger from trauma ruled his behaviour and life.


DRUG ADDICT:    INTENSE CHILDHOOD ABUSE

Recovery after traumas deconstructed

John had been in the prison system for 25 years.  His offences were mostly related to breaking and entering, stealing and physical violence to support his drug habit.   At 12 years old he had run away from home and lived on the streets.  John survived by stealing and dealing in drugs.  He had spent years trying to get control of his intense anger and hatred.  John was easily triggered into violent actions at the least provocation.  Many years were spent in rehabilitation without success and had been seen by psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and the prison pastors.

John was very happy to see me as he had requested a female counsellor and never had access to one before.  John felt he could not share his deepest dark traumas with a male counsellor.  I asked him what his early childhood was like.  He disclosed that it was terrible.  He was adopted by a family at age 2 or 3 and life went down after that.  His adoptive father was a monster.  I asked John to tell me what was the worst experience of his early life.   John recalled one event vividly, like it happened yesterday.  His father called him into the shed one afternoon and ordered him to drop his shorts.  John was sodomised, beaten and threatened if he dare to tell any one he would die.  He was 5 years old when the first sexual assault occurred and he endured daily abuse after that until one day when he was 12 years old and big enough to fight back and run away from home.  He had no one to depend on and he turned to petty crime to survive. 

 After sharing this horror story with me he looked  me squarely in the eyes and asked “can you see why I am the way I am?”    Obviously he connected the childhood traumas to his present behaviour.  He added that not one day would pass when he didn’t recall the first assault.  In fact John said that it was the first thought that would come into his mind upon waking every morning.

We did the TBT protocol and he was amazed at how easily and quickly it worked to change his conditioned response to the abuse and his abuser.  He told me the following day that he had such a perfect restful sleep without any fear, flashbacks or nightmares.  The core incident was just an incident and he felt no attachment to it.  He could not believe that such a simple technique helped him so thoroughly without the need to talk about it, rationalise it or analyse it.  

Over the next few years John was a changed man,    He started a relationship and had a couple of kids himself.  I saw him often in town and it was so good to see how John had been transformed.

“This was an AMAZING tele-class! Thank you for taking the time to do this.  ”

~ Ann M.,TBT Intro tele-class participant

“I was diagnosed with PTSD after a car accident. I suffered from repeated flash backs and intrusive thoughts. I was a bag of nerves and no therapy I received from psychologists helped. Finally I was on a number of medications which still didn’t help.

I had a couple of tapping sessions using tapping and there was an immediate cessation of the flashbacks. I couldn’t believe how easily and painlessly I was finally free. More people should be benefiting from this technique.”

~ Michael, truck driver

“Tapping saved my life! For 45 years I had lived with the memories of unspeakable abuse and violence. It is unbelievable that this simple process laid these ghosts to rest. I felt an immediate freeing up, like a great big granite stone had been lifted off my heart.”

~ David, ex mental patient

“I’ve carried this incident with me for years. It used to enrage me to think about it. I had based major life decisions around this hurt. When my friends and family told me to let it go, I couldn’t because I didn’t know how to. One tapping session – 15 minutes and the incident became faded, insignificant and hardly worth noticing …”

~ M.M., Wrong side of the Law

“I simply cannot believe how light and relaxed I feel about this horrific event that happened to me 15 years ago.

I’ve had counselings and therapy from numerous qualified people and never had any relief. Just 30 minutes ago I was reliving this nightmare and now I’m laughing about it.”

~ Cherry, Recovering Alcoholic

“Tapping is the tool that helped me finally give up smoking. I had tried will power, patches, hypnosis and acupuncture.

None of them worked. When I learned tapping at a workshop in Sydney, I decided to use it every time I wanted to light up. Well, the workshop was in July and it’s 5 months later and I can say that I’ve successfully remained smoke free!”

~ Arianna, teacher

“I was completely surprised by how such a simple technique could so effectively give me back my life, considering that I was a person who saw no future and no escape from the mess that I felt myself to be.”

~ Sheila, Australia – ex Mental patient

“You really have been integral to my growth and evolution and I want you to know how much I appreciate you. I managed to tap away all the fears of starting my own business as a practitioner. It took about a week of processing to come to a place of such excitement that my business quickly took on a life of its own. I had 32 new clients in the first five weeks and am getting referrals all the time. So shouting out a big thank you, from me and all of my clients and potential clients, thank you!”

Much love and bliss, Jan Carter

“Rehana is extremely insightful. She just gets it. I really appreciate her empathy and effective approach in guiding me through personal issues that I’ve struggled with for years, which have been holding me back in life.

With an open mind and a will to move forward, I found Rehana’s broad experience, and her down-to-earth / pragmatic approach the one therapy that has not allowed me to self-indulge and feel self-pity. Over the years I have tried many different therapies, but none of them have been as effective as tapping. Under Rehana’s guidance, I feel I’ve been able to fast track my progress than any other means or on my own. I feel great. Thank you Rehana.”

~ Claire, Sydney, Australia

“I was trained in TBT last year. Rehana’s comprehensive training provides for opportunity to practice and become proficient. I have been using this amazing process regularly at work and with my colleagues and their families. It is an amazingly quick and successful process in clearing mental and physical ‘blockages’ that have resulted from traumas in peoples’ lives.

The mother of one young man in his mid twenties who was contemplating suicide said that he was “even better than he was before his trauma began.” It is now three months since his  TBT session and he is happy, focused and is back socialising. I am so grateful to have learnt TBT and to be able to change people’s lives so profoundly.”

~ Linda Ballantyne, Australia

“TBT was developed by Rehana Webster, EFT Master and NLP Master. TBT, based on NLP’s VAKOG, is a brilliant development of EFT: this technique works on changing the actual structure of the memory of a traumatic event, thereby bringing about amazingly rapid resolution of the trauma – TBT could not have been named any better!

As a professional, my goal is always to offer the best practice to my clients so they can quickly enjoy a feeling of regaining control over their lives. I have fully integrated TBT in my EFT practice because I find TBT is often more rapid and effective than EFT’s gentle techniques for treating any sort of traumatic event: rape, bullying, aggression, humiliation, war, accident, sudden loss of loved ones, domestic violence, etc.”

~ Diane von der Weid,  EFT Suisse, Switzerland

“TBT is a phenomenal technique for dealing with all kinds of suffering. I had attended an EFT workshop and used tapping before I was introduced by Rehana to TBT. I had found tapping to be effective but the kind of release from trauma that I myself have experienced or observed others experiencing is far beyond what can be achieved with simply EFT. TBT effects miracles – and I use that term advisedly.

In a one hour session with Rehana, I worked on an issue which had resulted in high levels of irritation during mealtimes for the last thirty years. After that one session, my irritation level at meal times completely disappeared. A month has passed and it has not come back.

Similarly, I have observed some of the women and men I have conducted TBT sessions with released from feelings of anger and abandonment that they had been carrying around for years. They report feeling happier than they have felt in years and often the disappearance of aches and pains in the body.

There is no doubt in my mind that as TBT spreads and people are released from their traumas, we can move towards homes, societies and a world where there is love and peace.”

~ S. Hussain, TBT Practitioner, Islamabad Pakistan

“Rehana taught me Trauma Buster Technique (TBT) in 2008 and I have never looked back. It is the one thing that works consistently with clients with specific trauma that I can count on time after time. The trauma is one hundred percent gone? People are stunned. How can that be? TBT that’s how. I encourage you to learn this simple yet ever so powerful advanced EFT protocol. I wouldn’t trade it for any other EFT technique anywhere. Your clients will be amazed – and so will you !!”

~ Maggie Adkins, EFT Founding Master, AAMET Trainer of Trainers,

and AAMET Australian Rep

~ Elizabeth Mandzuk – EFT Level 3

I am writing to give you an amazing update! I have been talking about you lots today as I have just spoken to my sister after having no contact for almost 5 1/2 years. Its like we have never stopped talking and I am just soooooooo happy with my life. My husband and I are still separated and I look forward to my divorce! I still think of you and all the things you taught me and I just want to thank you again for your help and support. You are a shining star.

My mom (who you counselled) brought me over to see you and you had also seen my sister a few years before. You have helped all the girls in our family and we are now almost all back together again. Being happy truly is the spice of life and I can still see you in my minds eye talking to me, holding my hand and tapping. You gave me the strength to move on with my life and I know that I could not have done that so efficiently and effectively going solo. The cost of your teaching is absolutely priceless in relation to the happy, safe and loving life I now have. I never thought I would ever be the awesome person I am today. Thanks again for the lessons and your continuing support.”

LW, Perth  

“I just wanted to say thanks so much for the “Trauma Buster” tapping Workshop last Saturday. Being completely new to tapping I found it really amazing and potentially “magic” therapy. Many thanks again Rehana. Perth is very lucky to have you back here! 🙂 ”

~ S., Perth

“Thank you so much for your workshop, powerful technique, words of wisdom and the joy and passion you demonstrated. I also want to thank you for helping me with my BS, it is fading away. More BS seems to bubble up to the surface now, we have stirred the beast I think ? I’ll keep tapping away.”

~ M., Perth

~ Pieter de Zwart, BodyMinder

“I am an Art Therapist who uses tapping for myself and my clients. In July of 2005 I had the great opportunity to work with Rehana Webster as she achieved her Masters status in tapping. I have had issues of childhood sexual and physical abuse that had been plaguing me for many years. tapping was my only chance at living a different type of life, free from anxiety attacks of extreme fear of just being alive that would overwhelm me from time to time, and negative thinking that usually interfered with my everyday happiness.

I went to the Masters Program knowing I would release some of these troubling thoughts and behaviours. I was drawn to Rehana and chose to work with her to release a major issue of anger. We worked together well releasing a major part of this issue in only 30 minutes on that day. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity I was given to meet Rehana and subsequently work with her.

The tapping and Rehana’s style of therapy are key to my letting go of my history that is impeding my life today.”

~ Marilynn Demers, Art Therapist

“I have completed Part 1 and 2 of tapping Training and I have to say it has been extremely valuable. Rehana’s style of teaching is energetic, supportive and encouraging creating a safe and fun environment to learn in. The training is inspiring, dynamic and thought provoking leaving you thirsty for more. Looking forward to Part 3!!!”

~ Jan, Tairua

“Rehana, I enjoyed the class. I learned a lot and have made progress with several issues that were limiting my life. These tools will help me make changes to myself that will make my life better and happier. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants skills to make their life better. Thanks.”

~ Steven, Hamilton

“The weekend was truly amazing. K. said to me she felt our relationship as mother and daughter had been solidified as equals rather than me treating her as a little girl!! We laughed such a lot together it was wonderful. And now I am off to tap on my other issues. With immense gratitude for the love and expertise you so willingly shared with us. United with you in emotional freedom.”

~ Gillian, Wellington

“I’ve known about tapping for well over a year now and had been using it for myself. However, I came away from the Level One Training with even more confidence in using tapping on myself and also for others.

I found Rehana’s manner lighthearted, sincere, charming, encouraging, confident, and experienced in the use of tapping in a variety of circumstances. I have had no hesitation in promoting this training to others and look forward to experiencing more for myself.”

~ Rere Stroud, Whanganui

“The weekend was really great, Rehana. Mum and I got a lot out of it. Thank you for teaching us some very useful tools. I shall put time aside to practice this because I have found that it certainly helps with relaxation!! wonderful!! Thank you.”

~ KR, Auckland

“Did your workshop last year, and started out great guns, then forgot about tapping for a while (I am sure you get this all the time from people) and then when life was “getting to me” again I thought “for goodness sake you silly girl (or words to that affect) why did you stop especially when you were feeling so good”, maybe that was why. Anyway – tapping is part of my life now – something I just do, like cleaning my teeth before bed, or when I need it. Happy new year to you and the rest of your team.”

~ J Denise Peck

“I’ve completely changed my life around in a 3-month period by persistently tapping on my negative beliefs and thought patterns. Before I was taught this technique by Rehana in Perth, I had tried every conceivable type of therapy and counselling I could avail my self of.

Nothing worked for me like tapping has and now I have a tool I can readily use anytime I need it…my emotional health is at the end of my finger tips! tapping helped me get rid of any psychological reversals there were in my subconscious and I am a totally different person now. I have truly set myself free by tapping and the amazing thing is that I learned this technique 2 years ago from Rehana, however did not use it like I have in the past 3 months.”

~ D.M.

“Cross dressing was an addiction for me. It was causing my marriage to break up. My partner could not deal with it. One tapping session and I can’t believe that cross-dressing is no longer a big deal for me. I just don’t have any urgency or compulsion to get into women’s clothes! It’s unbelievable how my feelings have changed.”

~ PD, ex Mental patient

“This is an amazing tool. I feel so different, so good and I know this is going to work for me. My life has been filled will negative thoughts and actions in the past and no matter what happens at court, I know that I can turn my life around with the use of this technique.”

~ LK

“I have been waiting all my life for such a tool. It’s totally amazing how simple and quick the results are from using tapping. I can see how it will dovetail in with my other body/healing techniques very well.”

~ LH, healer & body worker

“Just letting you know that we are all tapping our little hearts out here in Wairoa. What happened one week ago, has given me a new lease on life (life Changing). Don’t let people get me down, letting them own their own problems etc.”
