The 9th Annual Energy Psychology Conference was held in Tokyo on July 26-27, 2025. We had nearly 100 participants come together over the two days to learn and share healing and trauma relief.
On the first day, we invited an instructor of the Feldenkrais Method because Dr. Callahan had developed the floor-to-ceiling eye roll protocol based on the method. The participants experienced various changes, such as the disappearance of pain, becoming aware of their own habits, realizing that their thoughts were limiting their physical movements, and gaining insight into the connection between thoughts, sensations, and emotions.
On the second day, reports were presented on support projects being advanced by the Japanese TFT Association.
- In disaster relief efforts special workshops were held for the therapists involved in relief of the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred in 2024.
- Since support remains limited in Japan for victims of sexual violence, the TFT Association will take charge of counseling services to be launched by the support organization “Thyme.”
- The Japanese TFT Association is also participating in the “Job Parent Project,” a support program for released prisoners by the Nippon Foundation, and is preparing to contribute TFT techniques to this initiative.
Case discussions were also held. Cases were presented where various therapies, including TFT Visual Focused Approach, Body Connect Therapy, Brain Gym, and so on, were combined to address pain, trauma, attachment, and others, leading to improvements. Experienced therapists provided comments from multiple perspectives on each case, resulting in fruitful discussions.
