particular, be examined as fully as possible and that practitioners who are
accredited be actively sought out, should the therapy be pursued. While
regressive therapy is known to have been of help to some, it’s undeniable that
it’s controversial for good reason and should be approached with great caution.
Trauma Tapping Technique – Rwandan genocide
In 1994, Rwanda was to be torn apart by an organized, genocidal action which
took place over the course of only one hundred days. In the course of those one
hundred days, between 800,000 to one million Rwandans were systematically
slaughtered in unparalleled acts of human violence. Men, women and children
were mercilessly targeted by militias armed primarily with machetes. Many
were hacked to death, placing victims at arm’s length with their attackers.
Those who survived the horrors of the Rwandan genocide were left with
psychological wounds that may never be completely healed. Feelings of guilt at

having been spared, coupled with the mayhem witnessed as they watched
families, neighbors and friends murdered, have left people completely lost to the
conduct of normal life even to this day, more than two decades later. The
perpetrators of the genocide (mostly young men from the countryside, untrained
in combat, except the use of the machetes they were issued by the Hutu militias)
are also afflicted with PTSD, including feelings of extreme guilt in confrontation
of the acts they committed under the influence of extreme communal war
psychosis.
Among survivors, it’s estimated that at least 20% of the adult population of
contemporary Rwanda is afflicted with PTSD. On the anniversary of the
genocide, walk in clinics are inundated with previously undiagnosed cases, every
year, as people all over the country experience flashbacks to those one hundred
days in 1994. Before the genocide, there were no words extant in the
Kinyarwandan language to describe mental illness. Since then, a new word has
arisen to describe the anxiety suffered today by so many survivors – ihahamuka
– “breathless, frequent fear”.
In response to what can only be described as a national mental health crisis, the
Peaceful Heart Network is taking action to treat as many survivors as possible,
using the hypnotherapy technique Trauma Tapping. The Network is diffusing
the technique (which can be learned, according to their literature, in the space of
only an hour) by teaching it to people in conflict areas, including Rwanda, where
there are only two psychiatrists in the entire country. (The reader should be
aware that Rwanda has a population of eight million.)
The Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT) employs hypnosis as a means of bringing
forth the memories associated with PTSD and replacing them with thoughts
which allow the sufferer to function more normally and come to terms with the
trauma they’ve experienced. The technique works by flooding the amygdala
(the portion of the brain which serves as its “fear center”) with two types of

sensory information. One of these is the memory of the traumatic event. As this
is achieved, the action of tapping is used to compete with the memory of the
traumatic event, thus overwhelming and eventually, replacing it, by virtue of
association. Concurrent with the tapping on forehead, torso and often, other
