CLIENT APPRECIATION Dear Dr. Wright, Thank you for your outstanding service to your clients. When I left your office last Monday, February 24, I admit that I was skeptical. The question in my mind was how a life time of panicky feelings could be eliminated in just one hour. The answer is that I still dont know, but I am panic-free and have been for this entire week. Its wonderful. I am also learning how to approach situations without generating panicky feelings. I had not realized how much of my thinking was connected to the crazy logic of panic. Detaching from panic has enabled me to develop new perspectives on my life. With much gratitude, Jim Pfeiffer

FORWARD
hroughout my career as a medical doctor who has studied acupuncture and served on the faculty of a Japanese-founded research institute and graduate school in human bioenergetics, Ive watched as the whole science of human bioenergetics has formally unfolded over the past twenty-five years in the West. Currently, what is emerging in the United States is a holistic model that incorporates both ancient and modern systems, including tradiItional Chinese medicine, the European perspective on the electrical study of the meridian system of the body, as well as the Japanese perspective on the electro-physiological study of the meridian system. Dr. Susan Wright now introduces Rapid Response Therapy to the holistic playing field. Rapid Response Therapy is an extremely user friendly, diagnostic and therapeutic method. Dramatically effective, this method simply and quickly eliminates phobias, anxiety, grief reactions, depression and obsessive compulsive behavior. The non-local nature of negative energy, outside of the person in space and time, is brought into the body when the person thinks about a problem. This negative energy response is inherited. From my perspective as both a medical doctor and a man of science, Rapid Response Therapy represents one of the first times the lineages of traditional Chinese medicine, bioenergetics, the electro-physiology of human bio-energetic, and the behavioral aspect of human bio-energies are intersecting in a techniques that can be taught easily to patients for self-treatment and self-maintenance.

INTRODUCTION
have been a licensed, practicing psychotherapist for over 30 years, during which time I have studied and used all of the more traditional forms of therapy, such as Freudian, Jungian, Adlerian, Cognitive, Behavior Modification, and Hypnotherapy as well as the not so traditional, such as Brief/Solution-based, Voice Dialogue, Inner Child, Narrative, Neurolinguistic Programming, and Eye Movement Desensitization Response. One thing all of these therapeutic approaches have in common is the need for professional training. I have always been curious and rather nontraditional myself, which is why I remain open to exploring new ideas. However, I know that the proof is in the pudding, so I try out new techniques to see how well they do (or dont) work before I decide whether or not to use them in my practice. There are all kinds of treatment modalities out there with differing degrees of worth or value. My goal is to help people get well as soon as possible without compromising my integrity or theirs. One day, while leafing through a therapy publication, I came upon an ad for something called Thought Field Therapy, TFTTM, a process which did not use talk therapy or behavior modification to alleviate emotional problems. Instead, the therapy was based on the way energy flows through the body. As bizarre as this seemed, it immediately caught my interest. I was familiar with acupuncture and knew a little of the import of the human energy system, so I read further. I was both fascinated enough to explore the possibilities and, at the same time,

e are becoming a nation of therapy consumers. Radio talk show hosts interview therapists, and television shows (Maury Povich, Montel Williams, and others) have psychologists on hand to give advice to their dysfunctional guests. Oprah Winfrey invites therapists, some traditional, some not, on her show all the time. Whenever there is a disaster (flood, fire, earthquakes, hurricanes, school shootings, war and related disasters), therapy teams are immediately sent in to aid the survivors. HMO organizations include disaster services in their benefit programs. Therapy is entering into the fabric of our speeded-up nation, and everyone is looking for a quick fix.
The discovery of Thought Field Therapy, now called TFTTM, unlocked the secret for healing psychological problems. The energy system flowing through each of us is the key. We have learned how to focus on the energy system of the body as a means of alleviating common emotional distress. When we think about a problem, we enter the thought field and

CHAPTER 2 Evolution
nderstanding energy disruption as the primary cause of emotional distress is a new way of thinking. We are used to our historical dependence on verbalizing our pain and suffering, our wishes and fears, our hopes and our dreads. Indeed, most of us are quite familiar with talk therapy. RRT can be used as a complement to traditional therapy, even though we may, in principle, disagree with the traditionalists about what really causes psychological problems. Exposure, Freudian, Cognitive, and Behavioral therapies are common forms of treatment and have brought much understanding regarding the workings of the human mind. Learning how these treatments evolved will help to give a more comprehensive understanding of the differences between RRT and other treatment methods. Exposure, Freudian, Cognitive, and Behavioral therapies are all based upon the conviction that one must educate or re-educate the individual in order to change deeply held beliefs, of which practitioners believe troubled clients may be unaware. Making clients aware of how these problems came about differ from one therapeutic view to another, but essentially they agree that re-education is the key to mental health. 1. Exposure Therapy is based upon the idea that exposing the subject over and over to the initial trauma is necessary to change the victims neg-

REVIEW Cognitive and Behavior theorists have a rational, materialistic approach common to most scientists. However, most psychological problems make no sense and, by definition, are irrational. Cognitive techniques can be helpful in examining dysfunctional thinking, and in our treatment format, we use negative and positive cognitive statements (affirmations) as part of the treatment process. However, our disagreement is about what causes the problems. Cognitive therapists and Behaviorists believe that the causes of emotional stress stem from what you say to yourself about the problems (cognition) and the behavior that is related to it. Psychoanalysts believe the cause is based upon early childhood experience and that these experiences must be resolved before the client can get well. Others believe that flooding the client, by forcing them to relive traumas repeatedly, is another way. Perhaps understanding has become the booby prize of therapy. Today, it is common for practitioners to believe that emotional problems are caused by physical changes, that is, systemic chemical imbalance, the solution is to medicate the client. Energy therapists maintain that trapped negative energy is the cause and that the tendency to develop psychological problems is hereditary and is passed down by ancestral knowledge. Treatment is focused on freeing and re-circulating the trapped energy by tapping on related energy meridians in proscribed sequences.

nergy psychology is based upon the belief that problems are caused by disturbances in the bioenergy system and that these disturbances are inherited and not always the product of childhood or lifetime experiences. In order to understand where this disturbance comes from as well as how they operate, we must explore the scientific concepts underlying the process. These processes include: (a) polarity, (b) electromagnetic fields, (c) morphogenic fields, (d) holons, and (e) RRT and quantum physics.
Polarity Polarity appears to be the basis for all that is created. In all forms of energy, polarity is the key to balancing positive and negative forces. [1] When polarity is reversed, it is accessing negative energy, which, when brought into the body though the thought field, blocks our natural ability to heal. Negative polarity is the cause of psychological reversal (PR), which essentially means we do the opposite of what we intend. Once PR

It is a good idea to practice entering the thought field and rating your levels of stress before you continue. Think about a problem you want to alleviate. Make a mental picture of it, think about what you say to yourself about it, feel the feelings, notice any smells or tastes associated with it. Notice how stressful the thought becomes until it seems as though it is happening at the moment, and then rate it on the 10-point scale. Write the number down. Practice this with several problems. Rarely, some individuals have difficulty bringing feelings into focus. Do not worry if you are not aware of your feelings. Continue the exercise even though you cannot use the stress scale. REVIEW There are two ways to measure emotional distress levels associated with the perturbation. One is to write down or memorize the number on the scale as treatment progresses, and the second is to work with a partner who can teat the arm to determine the level of distress (see MMT in next chapter).

CHAPTER 10 Affirmations
ffirmations are commonly used by many energy practitioners and other health professionals. In RRT, they were originally a part of the psychological reversal process. While tapping to correct PR, the affirmations related to the problem at hand had to be repeated aloud three times. The belief was that the content of the affirmation, acknowledged the problem, created self-acceptance, and facilitated a neutralizing effect. We now find that this is no longer necessary. [1] Tapping alone does the job. However, most TFTTM were originally trained to use them. For those that do, I have included a list of advanced affirmations in the index. During certain specified treatments, I still occasionally have the subject use encouraging words. These can be found in the list of algorithms on page 71.
REVIEW Affirmations are commonly used, especially in new age psychology. The hypothesis is that if you repeat positive statements often enough they will eventually erase negative thoughts. In RRT treatment, we have discovered that the negative energy response to the problem being addressed is alleviated without them.

V. Recurring PR: (very rare) Diagnosis: Recurring reversal treatment is used when reversal recurs shortly after treatment has been completed, occasionally days or weeks later. You might try collarbone breathing (pages 56-60 and photos 7-14). However, this usually indicates and energy toxin, a complex problem that needs to be treated by a diagnostically trained clinician.

Ask your partner for permission to test his or her arm. We test first in the clear to get a feel for how flexible the arm may be. To test your partners arm, face your partner, and ask him or her extend his or her arm and hold it firm, relaxing the wrist. (photo 3) Stand to the side where the arm is extended, and look straight ahead. Place one hand on your partners nearest shoulder and, using three fingers of your other hand, place it on your partners relaxed wrist. Ask your partner to hold the arm firm. Push on the arm, using 2-5 pounds of pressure (it is not necessary to fight the tester. If your arm feels weak, let it drop). Push down firmly but smoothly (do not bounce the arm). Note what happens arm is firm or arm is weak. Now have your partner relax the arm. Begin with the name test: Have your partner extend the arm and say, My name is_____ (his or her name). Push on the arm. Arm will be firm. Answer is positive (yes). Now have your partner extend the arm and My name is_____ (use someone elses name). Push on the arm. The arm will test weak. (photo 4) Continue with the exercises.

hat you are about to learn for yourself will stretch your credulity. First, you will see a problem disappear before you are actually exposed to the fearful situation. The proof lies in what happens when you re-expose yourself. Thinking about the problem again, after successful treatment is completed, is the first test. If you are free of the negative feelings, the treatment has been successful. Then, whenever possible, test it again in the actual situation. We call this the proving stage. The algorithm is made up specific tapping points, or meridians, tailored for specific problems. Each algorithm has three parts: the tapping sequence, the gamut, and a repeat of the identical tapping sequence. It is like a sandwich with two identical slices of bread with the gamut as the filler. You will notice that there are categories of algorithms, some simple, some complex and multiple. Start with one and if that doesnt work, go on to the next. We are all different, and what works for most may not work for all. Individuals diagnosed with serious, lasting problems should always consult a physician or a licensed therapist before using these treatments. The following pages contain a complete list of the algorithms, plus an outline of the steps to be followed (1) for individuals and (2) for those working with partners. The partner format is designed to meet the needs of professionals, but can be used by anyone working with a partner.

hat is an energy toxin? According to Dr. Callahan a toxin is a substance that disrupts the bio-energy system, blocking or impairing successful treatment.[1] These reactions are not classified as allergens. Allergens affect the immune system. Energy toxins disrupt the flow of energy in the body. In most people, energy toxins present no problem. We suspect an energy toxin when successfully treated problem suddenly recurs days, weeks or even months later. This is a rare occurrence. Common substances such as inhalants, i.e., fumes from clothing, bedding, soap, perfumes, creams, and related products, may be toxic to the energy systems of susceptible individuals, particularly when the body heats up. Smoking, certain foods and chemicals may also be culprits. Keeping a diary of times and places when there are problem recurrences will help to identify the activity patterns which are related to energy disruptions, making it possible to eliminate them by refraining from the use of the identified substances. Keep a diary and notice what you have eaten or come in contact with prior to your recurrence. Avoid these toxins in the future. You might consult with a clinician trained in energy therapy if you cannot pinpoint the problem. Today we are exposed to a huge number of environmental toxicants. Testing their effects on human behavior is still relatively rare. Toxicants can stress the system and evoke extreme behavioral changes, particularly in children. [2]
227
Readers experiencing these problems should contact clinicians trained in diagnosis who can be helpful in identifying these toxins and eliminating their effects. To reach qualified individuals go to the web, and look under RRT, Thought Field or energy therapy. Or contact me directly at advicelink@attbi.com or visit my Web site: advicelink.com

APPENDIX
ADVANCED AFFIRMATIONS [1] I find that the closer the positive statement is to the real concern of the subject, the more effective it is in clearing the reversal. Since you are focused on treating yourself, you may be able to come up with something even more specific. Who knows you better? These are the ones I use. You will notice that these statements are concerned with desire, will, necessity permission, deserving, possibility, motivation, safety, and identity. They can all be used to eliminate psychological reversal and, in some cases, may work as well as or better than the standard affirmations found in the text. Diagnosis: I want to get over ____ (the problem). I want to keep ____ (the problem). Diagnosis: I will get over this____ (the problem). I wont get over ____ (the problem). Diagnosis: I will do what is necessary to get over ____ (the problem). I wont do all that is necessary to get over ____ (the problem). Diagnosis: I will allow myself to get over ____ (the problem). I wont allow myself to get over ____ (the problem). Diagnosis: I deserve to get over ____ (the problem). I do not deserve to get over ____ (the problem).
