What is Picture Tapping Technique?

Picture Tapping Technique is an add-on to other conventional Energy Psychology Techniques. It is a fusion between Art based work and Energy Psychology that brings impressive resolution of issues often very gently and rapidly. It uses the power of meridian tapping along with the power of metaphor and imagination to release problems. 

PTT  is particularly effective  when the issues addressed are very complex, very global and difficult to pin down or when it is just too difficult to have to think and talk about the problem directly.  Children love this technique and really benefit from not having to talk about issues.

What can PTT be used on?

Picture Tapping Technique is particularly useful where the problem is very non-specific, “Global” or abstract in nature. When used on these types of problems, it will often find the underlying core-events, or it will deal with the underlying core events without them needing to come fully into consciousness.

Some examples of global and abstract problems are:

• • Low Self Esteem
  • Depression
  • Generalised anxiety
  • “My family situation”
  • “I was bullied at school”
  • “My Mother”
  • “My money worries”
  • “My blocks to success”
  • “All the events that are behind this problem”
  • “My resistance to letting go of the problem”
  • “The Karma from my past lives”
  • “Writers Block”
  • “Im not good enough”
  • “Something terrible is going to happen”
  • “My immune system”
  • .. and many more.

Picture Tapping Technique may also be used on Specific Problems:

• • Specific problems where the cause is known but the event is felt too keenly to be addressed directly.  In this way it can be a very dis-associative technique.
  • Specific physical problems.  Eg: this headache, this pain in my knee, etc.
  • Specific emotional problems.  Eg: Spider Phobia, Anger at my boss etc.
  • Specific problems that appear to be blocked and are resisting clearance using other methods.

In Summary:

The Picture Tapping Technique:

• Is very simple
• Can be used on a wide range of issues but is particularly useful when addressing global issues and/or  finding the core issues that are driving the global issues.
• Is a very gentle technique.
• Does not rely on the practitioner to think up reframes, ask searching questions or perform mental gymnastics.
• Requires the practitioner to have the minimum of input into the process. (to get themselves out of the way!)
• Required the practitioner to use a number of specific ‘clean language’ phrases and questions to the client.
• Allows reframes, cognitive shifts, finding aspects and related issues all to be carried out by the client.
• Minimises ‘leading’ or implanting of ideas from the practitioner into the clients mind.
• Gives increased “stick” to the reframes and cognitive shifts that the client has generated simply because they come from within, and are not being imposed from outside the clients model of the world.
