parts of the body, is the repetition of a suggestive phrase or sentence. This is
keyed to the trauma experienced by each individual victim. TTT may be used
as either a form of hypnotherapy or auto-suggestive self-hypnosis and has shown
remarkable results for PTSD sufferers, using either application. Research into
the treatment continues, but it has been used successfully in Rwanda and the war
torn Congo, where rape is used as a weapon of war. It has also proven effective
in treating PTSD in American soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.
Trauma Tapping – Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT is a technique which combines hypnosis with several other techniques,
including TTT and restructuring the patient’s understanding and absorption of
the trauma. Suggestive phrases are repeated (almost like mantras) to affirm the
patient’s sense of self-worth and acceptance. While the mechanism which
causes EFT to be successful as a complementary therapy is still under research,
there are several theories concerning its apparent effectiveness. 
The most compelling reason is the use of the tapping action, applied to a variety
of pressure points on the body. Researchers are beginning to understand that
tapping these points, while gaining access (in the other sense of “tapping”, 
i.e.
tapping a well – in this case, the subconscious) to the details of a traumatic
experience, sends a very clear message to the fear center of the brain (the
amgydala). That message amounts to deactivation of the trauma’s subconscious
signals and how they’re received. The effect is an almost simultaneous decrease
in the experience of recurring fear, due to reliving traumatic, or even emotionally
difficult events.
EFT calls on patients to self-direct the therapy, with the aid of a clinical

professional. Largely dependent on auto-suggestion, its use of hypnosis has
been somewhat controversial, but as a complementary therapy, it’s gaining
respect in wider clinical circles and the research community investigating the
scientific bases for its claims. Not only for those suffering from PTSD, EFT is a
tool which can be used by those facing the emotional challenges of daily life. 
For example, more than three million Americans report suffering from panic
attacks.
