Thoughts of suicide
The Bottom Line :
Do you feel emotionally uncomfortable? Connect to that uncomfortable
emotion and use Trauma Tapping.
Does the effect of TTT last?
One very relevant question that we often get is: “Does the effect of the
Trauma Tapping Technique last?”
A simple answer is: “Yes, forever.”
This may sound bold and naive, but our experience proves it true. Many of
the orphans we trained in the first sessions in Rwanda had seen their parents
and siblings killed in front of their eyes, they had been covered by dead
bodies in a church, witnessed murder as they were hiding in a ceiling, in a
sorghum eld or in the papyrus swamps. They had been in hiding, surrounded
by barking dogs and burning houses.
Some of them survived by eating raw cassava and other roots or leaves,
while their friends or family died from starvation and pneumonia, others were
caught in road blocks and killed on the spot.
The symptoms we treated have been gone during the 7 years we have known
them. The memories are there, but not with the devastating emotional charge
they carried before applying TTT.
A more complex answer is: “Yes, if all the emotions involved, or a critical
mass of them, were exposed at the time of the TTT treatment, the effect is
likely to last forever.”
Theoretically, you can apply TTT to any person and induce a relaxed state of
mind, lower the stress levels and create a temporary relief. When a person
goes back to the environment where the traumatic experience happened,
some symptoms can be triggered that were never treated. A person who has
learned TTT can treat themselves.
