“What is wonderful with
Thought
field Therapy
is that the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine regarding the
person and their dysfunctional body is respected, and the self-help
treatment provided always brings more than the cure of the illness,
since it also completely changes the person’s representation of self,
replacing torturing inner conflicts with harmony. Never in my life would
I have dreamed that coaching people’s energy through tapping acupuncture
points would let them get instantaneous relief and solace.
How miraculous was the discovery by a westerner, Dr Roger
Callahan, that tapping the meridian points in a specially arranged
sequence, actually a code proper to a specific problem, while thinking
of the problem itself (a procedure called tuning to the
thought field)
would be the key to healing! How is it possible
that we Chinese did not discover that link in more than 3000 years of
practice? Not only did Dr Roger Callahan give us the means to find the
proper sequence while tuning to the thought field through muscle-testing,
but he also discovered a further link, the Voice, between meridian
points and the thought fields, which enables us, VT practitioners, to
provide help and coach people in using their inner energy to heal
themselves. I am sincerely proud of having known and been personally
trained by Dr Roger Callahan himself.”
Poon Yeuk Yee
defines herself as an “energy coach”,
providing support for individuals in corporations and sports teams, for
artistic performers and more generally for anyone wanting to achieve
optimal performance and self-assertiveness. Through the use of Voice
Technology, she also teaches people to find their inner healing
resources and so eliminate such ailments as phobias, anxiety,
depression, compulsive disorders and addictions, and erase the pain from
trauma and abuse.

Dimitri
CROUCHEZ
graduated
as medical doctor
at the Paris School of Medicine (Paris VI Broussais) in 1973 and took
the specialization course in psychiatry which he completed in
1976.Psychiatry
has just evolved
as a full-fledged speciality.
Before there
were only a small number of physicians specialised both in neurology and
mental health. Psychotropic drugs had just been introduced. I was
privileged to be able to work for a full year in Saint Anne’s Hospital
in Paris in the service of Professors Delay and Deniker, who were the
first to study the effects of such drugs on patients with mental
illnesses. Popular treatments were electric shock therapy for depression
and insulin shock therapies for schizophrenia, which, in their
principle, were direct continuations of shock treatments such as brutal
exposure to cold water inherited from the 18th century. I also had the
privilege to attend all the seminars conducted by “Cause Freudienne”
psychoanalyst Dr Jacques Lacan in another part of the same hospital,
with “live” demonstrations on “voluntary” patients. The underlying
philosophy of psychiatry, still valid today, is to sedate the patient
first to establish communication, in order to find the root of his
problems in his past, in his infancy. I have never seen anybody who was
cured with these methods: at best, after years of medication, they would
go on with a very long psychoanalysis. I was quite dismayed by the
contradiction between concerns expressed by my colleagues at “the
suffering of the patient” and the hardness and cruelty of the treatment.
Blatant side effects of such treatments often seemed to be destructive
to the body, with important weight gains, addiction to tobacco or
pharmaceutical drugs or dysfunction of the endocrine system transforming
people into zombies, or causing the loss of their self-image, and not
infrequently driving them to despair and suicide… If people have trouble
accepting their body image, is it a cure to neutralize the effects to
the point that they don’t care anymore about their body image?" As I
also witnessed the ease with which one could be drawn into the
psychiatric system against one’s own will, for the pettiest of reasons,
and be crushed by it, I became interested in the British
“anti-psychiatric” movement animated by Laing and Cooper, and founded
the “Asylums Information Group” modeled after the “Prisons Information
Group” of philosopher Michel Foucault, whom I had occasion to meet. We
wanted to bring to the public’s attention the harsh conditions of
internment, and with the help of former patients I authored a little
user’s booklet on how to talk to the psychiatrist in order to get less
medication, what the drugs’ side-effects were, and how to get out of
hospital using existing laws. Then I heard about Bateson’s research in
Palo Alto and discovered Milton Erickson’s Hypnosis, and Bandler and
Grinder NLP...and for the first time I knew that I could really do
effective therapy
using language effectiveness and systemic goal-oriented strategies.
"It was as though I felt there was something to be found, and this
feeling was the stimulus for my curiosity. This was why I also took EMDR
training.
“But the real revolution came after I heard of
Roger Callahan's Thoughtfield Therapy.
At the beginning I was very hesitant in applying it because of its
weirdness, but patient and after patient I had to recognize that Roger
was right! After all these years, here was a very simple and efficacious
method that could cure!
"Now, not only can we offer people a sure way to get self-treatment and
heal themselves, we can also prove our case, the physiological changes
brought about by the treatment, through HRV monitoring. I am currently
writing a book on these very exciting years when I first experienced CT-TFTDx
and VT”.
After more than thirty years of clinical practice with medicinal
prescriptions spiraling down to zero over the years Dr CROUCHEZ is now
attached to the International Institute for Self-help Holistic
Therapies Ltd. to bring as a consultant, coach and VT practitioner
his unique experience in language techniques and alternative holistic
medicine to corporations, to the world of sport and music, and more
generally to people desirous to have a different approach to their
problems.
It has to be underlined that NLP originated from the hypnotic language
patterns of Dr Milton Erickson.
Those patterns revealed themselves so effective that they have been
taught since 25 years to publicists, HRD and other top-level executives
in corporations.
Teaching influential language and goal oriented strategies is the
specific assignment of a corporate psychiatrist.
Conjugating the incredible effectiveness of VT to individual coaching
allows results that are fast and brilliant. The practice of VT doesn't
require the coach to know about the inside story: it suffices that the
client "attunes to his problem" while saying a simple phrase that will
be used as vocal sample for analysis.
Because of that incredible specificity of VT and as seasoned
professionals we can guarantee the utmost confidentiality to our
clients.
It is clearly stated that Dr CROUCHEZ does not engage in
any medical act and does not provide any personal medical advice.
