Trauma Tapping Technique “TTT” over Skype
TTT over Skype
You can teach, train and perform TTT over Skype with a web cam.
We recom- mend making sure there is somebody with the client that
can be helpful if emo- tions get strong. As a part of the session we
explain how they can continue to tap themselves as a tool for self-
help afterwards.

I did a couple of Skype sessions with a client that needed help with
years of nightmares after his wife had committed suicide. It turned out
that maybe this was not the reason for the nightmares, or maybe at
least not the only one.
In these sessions I had a video connection so we could see each
other. I asked the client to connect to the feelings of discomfort and
when he said he could feel that feeling at the level of an 8 on a scale
from 0–10 (the so called SUD scale that we mentioned before with 0
being no discomfort and 10 being the worst amount of discomfort) I
asked him to do as I did and tapped myself through the procedure. As
we went along I would remind him to stay in touch with the feel- ing
and reassure him it was ok. If he went too far into the feeling I would
pull him out ever so slightly by asking for a detail, a name or a place.
Afterwards we evaluated how strong the feeling was, thinking about it
in the exact same way he did before we started. Now the feeling was
down to 2, maybe 1. I felt it was safe to trust that the client would
continue and reach 0 on his own if he continued Trauma Tapping on
the feeling himself. We did two sessions and the results evolved in
three days, with a follow-up after half a year.
After some days he wrote me an email:
