Mary was the first client treated with what is now called Thought Field Therapy (TFT). She had been treated by the author for a year and a half with a variety of psychotherapeutic methods and although her behavior improved somewhat, the therapy experience was a terrible ordeal and nightmares about water "getting her" continued.
