The World Needs Trauma Relief

… and TFT is One of the Most Powerful Tools Available To The Masses

Dear TFT Community,

As some of you may be aware, Suzanne Connolly was our first ever TFT trainer after Roger and I.  She is also one of our first and leading TFT researchers and for several decades has put much her time and her own funds into supporting humanitarian relief efforts and quality research with TFT. 

Please take a few minutes to read about her latest efforts and how you can help us support this work.

“Hi Suzanne Connolly here, and I’m asking those interested in furthering the use of TFT in the world to consider a much needed donation, either small or large. The authors of recent research, including myself, need your help. As some of you may know, I am devoting my off-work hours to advancing the application of TFT to relieve trauma worldwide. As we know, trauma is the root of many of the world’s most chronic issues. People who are hurting are the most apt to hurt others. Research has shown, for instance, that most radical extremists in both Israel and the Gaza Strip have suffered the loss of loved ones at the hands of “the other”—people who are hurt. One thing we can all do to stop the chain of violence is to reduce the symptoms of PTSD. People who no longer experience the symptoms of PTSD can find peace in their hearts and most often want to live peacefully.

I have personally made six trips to Rwanda and participated in three research studies there.   Now that’s reached sustainability. I have seen the changes occur between two formerly opposing groups. I have seen people in Kuwait heal after Saddam Hussein’s invasion.  I have most recently seen women in camps for internally displaced people, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, heal after one treatment for PTSD. This is where our team, which includes our Iraqi contact and two professors from the University of South Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, needs your help.   The professors from Iraq and UNC believe this study is important and that it could lead to additional funding if published in a top-tier journal. We are aiming for a well respected, top-rated journal. The cost for publishing will be approximately $2500.00. Please help us raise this funding so our study can be published in a reputable journal. Journals are now mostly open-access and have no subscriptions to sell. They need to pay their staff and publishing expenses.

I’ve already personally donated over $2,000 to this project: Others, colleagues, an additional $2,000, to match the funds. A TFT devotee friend gave us an additional $4,000.00. A total of $8,000 was raised to fund this project. All of the authors have worked hundreds of hours without compensation. Please help us get this study into a top-tier journal where it belongs.  Click here to offer whatever support you can for us to reach our $2500 goal for publication.

While many modalities can assist in healing PTSD, the literature review and meta-analysis I led, along with a team of international researchers, demonstrated medium and high effect sizes for TFT studies after just one two-day training and one treatment by lay counselors chosen from the community they lived and worked in.  This is truly a healing tool for the masses.  Please help us share it with more in a world where it is so critically needed.  Click here to Donate

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
