In this episode, we explore Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and its applications for first responders experiencing chronic stress. Guest Robert Bray, a traumatic stress recovery expert, joins us to discuss his extensive experience and the efficacy of TFT, a technique that alleviates negative emotions by stimulating meridian treatment points. We discuss combining TFT with parts work and yoga to help clients manage anxiety, regulate their nervous systems, and build resilience. Robert outlines how TFT can be integrated with other therapies, offering practical advice and methods to bring yoga into therapy sessions effectively.
