Talk:Tapas Acupressure Technique

untitled
I use this technique for me and my clients. I have twenty years of practice in psychotherapy and recognized methods known in the art, but none of the classical techniques is not as effective as psihoenergetice techniques. When TAT or EFT is applied to verbalize authentic and mental focus on the problem get some miraculous results. Sorry this technique is demeaning to people who have no idea what I mean. I think it's a lack of culture. About psychotherapy can not say that it is science, it is art, it is a spiritual work by manifestations of consciousness and go beyond what any scientist could demonstrate. For as we enter the sacred space!. Sorry for the spelling, I do not know English and use encoder. --79.114.97.63 (talk) 08:21, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

TAT vs. acupressure
How does this technique differ from standard acupressure? Can a section be added explaining the differences and and (dis)advantages? Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 22:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have studied and used TAT for specific allergies, for which it is designed for about 10 years. If there were a standard acupressure I'm sure one would find many differences between it and TAT. Acupressure uses quite a number of meridian insertion points to relieve physical stress, most often during massage. TAT uses two points at the inner eyebrows at the bridge of the nose and the occipital protuberance to remove emotional/mental stress from past traumatic events and/or conditions resulting such as allergies. In my personal experience and in treating clients in my practice it has been quite effective.

The entries for TAT and every other form of non-traditional medical or psychological methodology are highly politicized and not to be relied upon as accurate. It's clear to anyone who has ever taken even a cursory glance at TAT that the description here was written by those lacking any kind of direct knowledge on this subject.

 * Believe it or do not, the article is a lot more informative than when I found it. It also correctly describes the preliminary trial which is incorrectly touted as scientific proof. By all means, please source and describe what goes on when the technique is applied. - Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 00:14, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Encyclopedia article or advertisement?
Recent edits (summarized in this diff) have tended to bring the article closer to being an advertisement for this technique rather than a dispassionate overview of what other people consider important about this topic. Please can we discuss these changes, preferably in discrete batches? 2over0 public (talk) 02:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Whoever is editing this page isn't providing very much useful information...
I came her to get a summary of the technique, not a critique of it. Shows how the Wiki world is degenerating into a big pile of political BS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.13.50 (talk) 00:49, 3 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah... I see you're using the old tactic of branding any negative coverage of complementary medicine as politically motivated. Are you next going to suggest that all Wiki editors are being paid by "Big Pharma" to keep "The Truth" from the masses (when in fact that's exactly what Wikipedia isn't doing)? To counter your accusation, I find this page very informative indeed. It explains what a load of BS (to borrow your phrase) this stupid "technique" is. Famousdog (talk) 13:14, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * While you're comment is quite old, it's also narrow.
 * There is a significant amount of research on the Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT). By the NIH and

 * So what? There is a significant amount of research on homeopathy, and it is still bullshit. And the source you linked is a primary study and therefore not useable. See WP:MEDRS. --Hob Gadling (talk) 14:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The information that it does not work is highly useful. --Hob Gadling (talk) 14:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

regarding review of trials -
The article needs to be payed for, but it can be read here: innersource.net/ep/images/stories/downloads/mechanisms.pdf

The whole framework of procedures is mentioned (p. 5) as "a common though unconventional procedure that is appearing in a variety of clinical formats, with "Thought Field Therapy" (TFT), the "Tapas Acupressure Technique" (TAT), and the "Emotional Freedom Techniques" (EFT) being among the most widely practiced." Hence this review is applicable for all of those entries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pottinger's cats (talk • contribs) 15:21, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Per WP:FRINGE, we need to use independent source. Feinberg is a promoter of these "Energy Psychology" and is not an independent arbitrator of if it works or not. Yobol (talk) 22:21, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
