The point that started it all!
In the 1980s, psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan was working with a patient named Mary who had a severe water phobia, so severe she couldn’t bathe her children or even handle a wet washcloth without panic. After 18 months of conventional therapy with little progress, he tried something unconventional.
Knowing Mary felt her fear in her stomach, and having recently studied meridian points from traditional Chinese medicine, he asked her to tap under her eye, a point linked to the stomach meridian.
Her lifelong phobia vanished. Not gradually. Instantly.
That single moment became the foundation of Thought Field Therapy (TFT), which eventually evolved into EFT, the Tapping technique millions use today.
We dive deep into this story in our new book, REWIRED, along with a full breakdown of all 9 Tapping points: where they are, what each one corresponds to, and the specific emotions they help release. 📖 Available anywhere books are sold.
