Tapas Fleming developed the process of TAT in the course of her acupuncture practice working with allergies.
She describes TAT as:

"An accelerated information processing technique, which has shown extraordinary promise
in the treatment of traumatic stress, allergic reactions, and negative fixed emotional states."

Contact with your fingers on these points opens up a flow of energy that allows the brain to rapidly process and release information that has become blocked through certain thought patterns and beliefs.

We have found that incorporating Tapas Acupressure Technique into our range of therapies can bring about a balance of harmony and wellbeing for individual clients.

TAT has been successfully applied to treat a wide range of emotional problems and issues including:

What Is A Trauma And What Does TAT® Do?
Tapas Fleming describes what a trauma is, how it occurs in the body and how TAT can heal trauma.

A trauma occurs when life becomes unbearable and you tell it "No." Or variations on the theme which could
include:” I’ve had enough”, "Hold it right there." "This is too much for me." "If this happens, I won't survive."
This is not necessarily a conscious choice. It is a natural response to your life in that moment.

This response sets up patterns of mental, emotional, and physical behavior and health. A blockage, or energy stagnation has just been put in place and your life has been impacted. It seems like a good idea at the time, but you lose the ability of distinguishing the difference between a truly life-threatening event and an event that
merely has certain aspects that resemble the original traumatic event.

It is as if life were a flowing stream, and at one point, out of fear, you roll a boulder into it to try to
dam the flow in order to keep a traumatic event from happening to you. The water, of course,
simply flows around the boulder, but in your life - in your body, mind and emotions -
there is a blockage that wasn't there before.

From the view of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a blockage of energy flow creates disease. If you consider the blockage as a boulder in your body's life flow, you can easily imagine that the life energy that would naturally be flowing along certain streams is going to be diverted.

On the upstream side of the boulder, there will be dammed up energy, on the downstream side you will find a lack of energy. This creates emotional, mental and physical disharmony which is also known as a yin-yang imbalance.
On one side is too much, on the other is not enough. The goal of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to achieve balance.

TAT is a way of saying to your whole body-mind: "Have another look at this."

It is an opportunity to change, based on taking a new look, rather than continuing to look away. By taking another look, within the context of TAT's direction of the body's energy flow, the charge that is still being held is removed from the past event and the event can now be integrated into your whole system.

What has that charge been?
It's traumatic stress which is simply the stress to your system of continually trying to hold off a trauma. That event really did happen. Working to deny its existence or hold it away from you is stressful.
Traumatic stress ends when the trauma is no longer resisted. TAT accomplishes this in moments.

I would say that TAT reunites a person with parts of himself or herself that have been locked away or frozen in
time. There are many ways to describe the results of TAT. Integration, harmony, peace, unity, connectedness, relatedness, oneness and wholeness are a few of the terms people have used to express how they feel after
doing TAT.

Consumer Guidance:
TAT provides impressive results for most people but there is no guarantee it will achieve your goals or be as painless as it is for others. It is recommended that you consult your GP regarding the use of Complementary therapies. These techniques are used to minimise pain. These techniques are not a substitute for medical treatment.
