Thought Field Therapy - TFT Algorithm Level Certification

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a structured tapping-based protocol developed by Dr Roger Callahan, PhD. It provides a systematic method for reducing emotional intensity associated with trauma, anxiety, phobias, anger, guilt, shame and stress responses.

In professional environments, emotional activation does not disappear simply because performance is required. It influences clarity, leadership, communication and client outcomes.

This one-day, in-person training introduces the Algorithm Level of TFT - the foundational certification within the Callahan Techniques training pathway - and equips you with a structured, repeatable framework that can be integrated responsibly within professional settings.

Delivered in Lichfield by Donna Garratty, TFT-Adv
Founder, Sea Change Therapy & Coaching.

The Algorithm curriculum follows the internationally recognised Callahan Techniques training framework developed by Dr Roger Callahan, PhD.

Over recent years, research into tapping-based interventions has demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety symptoms and trauma-related distress across multiple studies. While much of the published research has focused on EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), TFT remains the original structured protocol upon which later tapping approaches were developed.

As with any professional method, outcomes vary depending on context, complexity and practitioner competence. This training focuses on correct structure, ethical use and appropriate professional application.

This course is designed for professionals who work with emotional intensity, including:

• Coaches
• Therapists and counsellors
• HR and wellbeing professionals
• Healthcare practitioners
• Leaders in high-responsibility roles

It is also suitable for professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of structured emotional regulation within a professional framework.

No prior TFT training is required.

By the end of the training day, you will:

• Understand the foundations and structure of Thought Field Therapy (TFT)
• Apply core Algorithm protocols for trauma, anxiety, phobia, anger and guilt
• Identify and correct Psychological Reversal
• Use SUD scaling appropriately within sessions
• Deliver TFT within professional scope and ethical boundaries
• Understand certification requirements and progression pathways

The day includes structured demonstration and supervised practice to build confidence in correct application.

To receive certification as TFT-Algo, participants must:

1. Attend the full day of training
2. Complete the online assessment
3. Submit three case studies
4. Pay the $49 certification fee directly to Callahan Techniques, Ltd.

Upon successful completion, certification is issued by Callahan Techniques, Ltd. Participants may then use the designation TFT-Algo.

This training provides 8 hours of CPD.

A certificate of attendance will be issued at the end of the training day.

Algorithm Level provides structured protocols suitable for a wide range of straightforward emotional presentations.

For professionals working in coaching, therapy, healthcare, HR or leadership, this offers:

• A clear emotional regulation framework
• A repeatable intervention structure
• A practical method grounded in established TFT principles
• A recognised entry point into the wider Callahan Techniques training pathway

• One full day (approximately 8 hours)
• In-person training in Lichfield
• Official TFT Algorithm manual included
• Structured group learning
• Maximum 18 participants
