Dr. Callahan modified Behavioral Kinesiology and developed his own system that he named Thought Field Therapy or TFT. Dr. Callahan theorized that not only is there an intricate connection between the mind and body, but that based on the concept of state dependent learning certain thoughts and emotions can set up a thought field that can both contain and cause dysfunction and weaken an otherwise strongly functioning body as demonstrated by both subjective distress and manual muscle testing.
He has termed this dysfunction as a perturbation or disturbance in a thought field. Essentially what this means is that when a client thinks of an issue, memory, person, or topic that they find disturbing their body reacts and will weaken in response. If they are not attuning to that particular thought, the muscle or body will not weaken. His goal is to resolve or collapse the dysfunction in the thought field. He does this by having the client tap on certain meridians that he believes are involved in the dysfunction.
