NEW: Tagalog (Filipino) Translation of TFT Trauma Relief Technique

Relief Effort Continues In The Philippines After Typhoon Haiyan Devastation

On Nov. 8, the Philippines experienced a devastating typhoon that left over 5,700 dead and more than 1,700 missing, with about 4 million people displaced. The TFT Foundation is very pleased that the blog now has instructions for the TFT trauma relief technique translated into the Filipino language, Tagalog. You will find it on the right side of this page, under Pages–Technique Instructions–Filipino/Tagalog. Many thanks to Maribeth Cowley for this translation! Please share it with anyone you know in, or having access to, the Philippines. With your help we can do much to relieve the severe trauma experienced by thousands of Filipinos.

The TFT Foundation is happy to share this new trailer for its documentary “From Trauma to Peace.” What you see here is only the “tip of the iceberg.” The stories Rwandans have shared with our documentarian Robert Stone, about how TFT has completely changed their lives in the aftermath of a horrendous genocide, are truly moving and inspiring, and give great hope that peace on this earth really is attainable.

Phyll Robson, board member of TFT Foundation UKgave the following report on the presentation given by foundation chairman Howard Robson, M.D., at the 2013 ACEP conference:

Dr. Howard Robson was very pleased to be presenting the research results from the PTSD study undertaken in Uganda in January last year, 2012. He described the care taken to follow protocol to ensure the study undertaken on 256 participants would be valid.

The Research presentation session was well attended, and there were many questions from the floor about the study itself, and about the psychological and physical changes we witnessed in the study participants after treatment. The audience were very impressed to learn that only one treatment session was provided to each participant, by a newly trained Algorithm Ugandan Therapist, to achieve our results.

Roger Ludwig gave a moving account of the changes he observed in the study participants, followed by an overview of the many transformations we observed in the local people not included in the study, but who were treated by the TFT team, some of the Catechists trained in 2009, and some of the newly trained Catechists who were keen to practice their new TFT skills.

I talked about a group of women we had treated the previous day, who were very excited when we met them again at the training centre. They told us how they had been able to sleep all night for the first time in years. Many people in Uganda suffer Continue reading “Dr. Robson Presents Uganda Study Results”

Translation for the Philippines?

There are many stories on this blog describing how  the TFT trauma relief technique greatly relieves the suffering of people who have been traumatized. Thousands of people in the Philippines have been severely traumatized by Super Typhoon Haiyan, and the TFT Foundation would like to make the TFT trauma relief technique accessible to them. However, we don’t yet have a translation of the technique into Tagalog, the language of the Philippines. Do any of you speak and write Tagalog? Would you be willing to help us with the translation? If so, please leave a comment and we will get back to you. Thank you for taking a stand for peace!

Your Chance to Help the Children in Rwanda

Izere Children
Regarding our last post, about the phenomenal work being done using TFT to relieve the profound suffering of children and adults at the Izere Center in Rwanda:

We have a donor, wishing to remain anonymous, that has offered matching funds to help IZERE community treatment days. They need $2200 for October’s community treatment day. The last community day, during the period of mourning, that we helped we were able to provide funding to treat 250 people and 435 came for help. Please help us keep these children and others receiving TFT relief in their lives. Help us raise the matching funds of $1100.

If you’d like to help us help these children:  Contribute Here

Thank you!
