These challenges made Gunilla Hamne simplify the procedure and develop the version that is now called TTT by skipping the muscle testing, using the same points for every person and exchanging the eye movements for two deep breaths. The results were very positive and the method practical to use, teach and multiply. With TTT we don’t use set-up phrases or affirmations, partly because they can be re- traumatising and because many people find it very comfortable dealing with their traumatic experiences silently and internally, leaving out the verbal expression of words and concentrating instead on the process inwardly. And as mentioned before: not using words means also not having to mention what one has lived through, =be it connected to shame, -guilt or -sensitive information that one would rather keep inside, especially when working with groups. If you are doing TTT in groups we recommend for example the Somatic Poem as a setup to connect with the emotions instead. We have simplified the Trauma Tapping Technique further, making it transferable and content free so that large groups of people can experience the benefits without the need for personal questions, abreactions or spoken words. This is especially useful and important when constrained by language barriers which can largely be skirted by this approach and make TTT eminently practical. We consider the key components of TTT in the way we teach and spread it to be: #  Content free #  Replicable by anyone 3
