Does your fear of flying make travel with friends and family impossible? Are you having trouble coping with the loss of a loved one or forgiving yourself for a mistake you made long ago? For the millions of people who suffer from phobias, anxieties, or distressing emotions such as anger, guilt, and grief, the breakthrough science of Thought Field Therapy--an easy-to-use practice often referred to as acupressure for the emotions--can make a remarkable difference. In this groundbreaking new book, psychologists Peter Lambrou and George Pratt, two pioneers in this emerging field, make their highly effective techniques available to everyone through simple step-by-step exercises that anyone can use to treat everyday emotional roadblocks with immediate and permanent results.
Thought Field Therapy is a revolutionary blend of Western psychotherapy and Chinese medicine that uses the bodys meridian energy systems to treat emotional issues that can take years to unravel through traditional, talk-based therapy. A combination of breathing and relaxation exercises, affirmations, and tapping specific pressure points on the body, Thought Field Therapy can instantly eliminate problems such as a fear of flying, public speaking, addictive urges, or painful emotions such as embarrassment or regret.
Drs. Lambrou and Pratt, who practice at the prestigious Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California, have used these techniques on over six thousand patients with a 95 percent success rate, teaching their methods to business executives, professional athletes, and celebrities. Instant Emotional Healing explores the science behind Thought Field Therapy, and presents easy-to-follow exercises that will enable you to master the breathing techniques, focused-thought exercises, and tapping methods that can restore complete emotional balance, relaxation, and well-being in a matter of minutes. You will learn how to quickly remedy emotional problems such as rage, negativity, loneliness, and fear.
As the doctors show, Thought Field Therapy is revolutionizing the way we think about and handle our emotions. Instant Emotional Healing allows you to experience this amazingly simple, astonishingly effective practice for yourself--and open the door to a lifetime of emotional control and well-being.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We want first to acknowledge the pioneers in the field of energy psychology, from its roots to its many branches. The foundational work of George Goodheart, John Diamond, and Roger Callahan has become the cornerstone of this field. They have paved the way for those who have carried on to explore, expand, and evolve the methods and theories they first laid down.

Margret McBride, our literary agent, has kept the faith and belief in this project, and has inspired and guided us through the labyrinthine hurdles along the publication pathway. She and her staff, Donna DeGutis, Kris Sauer, and others, have been wonderful in helping move this book through the various stages of publishing and beyond.

At Broadway/Random House we want to thank Bill Shinker, who believed in the project; Bob Asahina, who carried it forward; Lauren Marino, who shepherded it through the publication process; Rebecca Holland, for her attentive assistance with graphics and production; Ann Campbell and Cate Tynan, who took care of so many details; and Robert Allen, Kathy Spinelli,Adrianna della Porta, Eleanor Branch, Bob Walter, and many others whose efforts furthered the book on its journey.

Many of our family, friends, and colleagues have contributed feedback, encouragement, and ideas that furthered this project and helped us in a variety of ways. A heartfelt thank you to: Leigh and Tom Adkins; Brian Alman; Marcia and Greg Andrews; Sandra Bagley; Sheila and Paul Banko; Carol and Terry Bassett; Dick Bayer; Nancy and Chris Benbow; Beatrice Benjamin; Ken Blanchard; Cynthia Bolker, Sheldon Bowles; Scott Buchanan; Gregg Burnett; Stacy and Daniel Canfield; Gaetan Chevalier; Zang-Hee Cho; Becky, Dan, Jacob, Mathew, and Luke Cinadar; Melinda Clements; Steve Cobb; Linda Comer; Deane and Doris Dana; Steve and Maureen Dime; Steve Doyne;Brad Eli; Rich Elrod; Scott Finley; Sandy Flynn; Susan Frazar; Fred Gallo; Susan Gawlinski; Julie Gildred; Terry Gopadze; Rebecca and

Our wives, Dottie Lambrou and Vonda Pratt, deserve a special appreciation for their patience and encouragement and for the loving help they provided in taking on extra responsibilities as we focused so much of our energies on completing this book.

An important acknowledgment to Greg Nicosia, who so generously gave of his knowledge, experience, and innovative creativity to help us develop and refine our abilities and to expand our understanding and skills in energy psychotherapy. Greg is not only a psychologist, he is a true healer of the pain and suffering of others. His commitment and dedication to helping others is an inspiration to those who know him. We deeply appreciate Gregs open sharing of his ideas and his feedback on the manuscript.

A very special thanks to our collaborative editor, Laura Torbet, who reshaped our manuscript, reorganized it, fleshed out those areas that were badly in need of structure, smoothed and polished the words, and gave literary life to our case examples. As if that were not a tremendous contribution in itself, Laura also contributed her background in graphic arts to design and direct the graphic elements of this book that are so valuable in helping to explain the intricacies of our methods. We immensely appreciate her literary and visual creativity that blended to make this book so readable and understandable. Every bit as important as her skills were to the books form, her good humor combined with professionalism made our work together a pleasure. Thank you, Laura, also affectionately known as Lulu.

INTRODUCTION

W e are traditionally trained psychologists, originally from the Midwest, who today find ourselves at the leading edge of exciting and controversial new therapies that make extravagant promises.

It wasnt always this way Early in our practices, we both relied strongly on the well-established cognitive and behavioral approaches to psychotherapy. However, throughout our professional careers we have been open to new ideas that could help our clients heal their emotional pain, particularly tools that foster self-reliance and speed up the therapeutic process. Both of us were drawn to hypnosis long before we met.

For a quarter century, George has been a clinical psychologist in private practice, specializing in psychotherapy and performance enhancement. Years before hypnosis became a common therapeutic tool, he was teaching it to physicians, dentists, and psychologists. Along with his gastroenterologist colleague Errol Korn, M.D., he authored hypnosis textbooks as well as videotapes for clinical training.

Peter, who began his career as a professional writer, became fascinated with self-hypnosis when he sought a way of dealing with his own stress. Work pressure had brought on the jaw-clicking and pain that can signal the onset of temporomandibular joint disorder (popularly known as TMJ). After enrolling in a course on self-hypnosis for stress management, a growing friendship with the instructor developed into a collaboration on a book. That writing project in the early 1980s, with hypnosis specialist Brian Alman, Ph.D. (who also had coauthored a book with George), turned Peter in the direction of clinical psychology.

Shortly after our mutual colleague Dr. Alman introduced us, we collaborated on a book that applied self-hypnosis and other skills to achieving business goals. Now, fifteen years later, our personal and professional lives have crossed in many ways. We are in private practice together and are on staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California. We also teach at the University of California at San Diego and other professional schools.

As conventionally schooled psychologists, we have cautiously examined therapies that are not well studied and validated by mainstream psychology. Certainly we accept the fundamental connection of mind and body and have approached mental and emotional healing from this perspective for most of our careers. Hypnosis is one potent tool for change. In the past ten years, we have achieved rapid results with EMDR (Eye Movement Desen-sitization and Reprocessing), a powerful and evolving therapy modality developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro, Ph.D.
