Our Positive Results

After hundreds of successful treatments, our results speak for themselves. Read some of ourTrue Stories

  • Case Study #1 – 18-year-old girl hurt by the break-up of her mother with a new boyfriend
    • Susie lived with her single-parent mother and 15-year-old brother. Her mother and her current boyfriend and his two kids had recently bought a new house. However, after two months in the new house, the guy was finished with the relationship. One day without warning or saying goodbye, he and his kids just left. Susie was very hurt and couldn’t stop thinking about this event. It felt like a major betrayal. The FJ-TTT helped Susie, her brother, and her mother to work through their distress so that they could feel peace and hope again. 
  • Case Study #2 – 40-year-old professional devastated by grief
    • Jerry was a competent professional with a family of his own. One day, both of his parents were killed in a car accident on their first retirement trip. The shock to Jerry’s system was huge. He took time off, then sought grief counseling, but it didn’t work. He hated having to tell his story over and over. After four years, he was still crying between appointments with his patients. He had developed full-blown Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He had tried everything he knew but was unable to get his life back and move on from this tragedy. The FJ-TTT helped him to overcome his PTSD in one session. He was astounded at how quickly and easily it worked and was thrilled that this happened without him having to retell his story about the accident one more time! 
  • Case Study #3 – 76-year-old retired academic traumatized by her wedding night
    • Marissa had lived a full and satisfying life, but there were a few events that continued to haunt her. One was the wedding night with her first husband. She was too embarrassed to say what exactly had gone on, but it was traumatic for her. Within one session of the FJ-TTT, she was able to resolve this stressful memory. She also gained wonderful insights into the behavior of her abusive father, which released her from the guilt and shame she had felt for over 60 years! 

What is unique about FJ-TTT?

There are several features that are unique to this therapeutic technique. We say that it is:

Safe and secure

There is no need to revisit the details of the distressing situation being targetted. We begin with a target that is only slightly bothersome. In this way, the client and therapist can gently discover how the client processes information. Once a minor concern is addressed, any past, present, or future issue can be targeted no matter how disturbing to the client. What a relief it is when they are finally freed from these burdens!

Quick and easy

Healing happens rapidly and without a lot of effort on the part of the client or therapist. The manualized protocol or guideline is followed and healing emerges spontaneously. Significant relief can be experienced within a couple of hour-long sessions. It is gratifying to see the the ripple effect when the client reports how the FJ-TTT made a difference in other unexpected and positive ways that have truly brought joy!

Tried and true

With the use of a manualized protocol, the 12-steps of the FJ-TTT are predictable and the results are consistently positive. We have seen how this process has worked well for many years now. Our follow up research has indicated that after a couple of sessions, most clients have resolved significant traumas. And the results they obtain is lasting! See the testimonials below for a sample of client reactions and therapist opinions.

Advantages

  • Time-effective! One client compared it to a ‘laser beam’ in terms of how quickly her trauma was resolved.  Another client compared it to traveling on a plane instead of taking a bus to a destination.  
  • Cost-effective! Some clients choose to use the FJ-TTT process independently, saving them expense and time. No need for lengthy treatment. 
  • Calm and Peaceful! This is not traditional ’talk therapy’. Clients do not need to revisit experiences in detail; therefore, the risk of re-traumatizing is reduced.  
  • Convenient! Sessions can be held in person or online anywhere, including from the comfort of their home.
  • Empowering! Clients will have an effective tool with which to manage their life stresses whenever the need arises.  
  • Simple to learn and easy to do! Nothing is required of clients other than to be present, trust the practitioner, and to report their inner awareness.

There was a lot to be angry about but it kind of washed away after doing FJ-TTT.” Male in his early-50s

Practitioners say…

Enjoy watching your clients soar like an eagle!
  • “I love the FJ-TTT!  The technique facilitates a gentle, deep and lasting healing in a very short period of time. More importantly, the client develops a highly effective tool which they can use independently – empowering!  Also, I find that when completed early in our work together, clients are able to utilize their newfound energy to apply to other therapeutic strategies that may be needed.”
  • Lauraine Laudel, MA, Registered Psychologist, Senior Trainer
  • “FindingJoy-TTT is my first choice in helping to release the effects of life’s challenges and day-to-day traumas and stresses for my clients. I appreciate how well it works in supporting individuals virtually in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. It feels safe for people to work through the effects of triggering experiences in a state of calm and grounded awareness while being guided through the structured protocol. It is remarkable to me how quickly, easily, and effectively the FJ-TTT works.
  • Clearing the effects of distress and disturbance allows people to use their energy differently, in therapy and in life.” 
  • Dr. Ilze Matiss, Registered Psychologist, FJ-TTT Trainer
  • “FJ-TTT training has given me a new strategy to help empower my clients to overcome past traumas and to face upcoming challenges with confidence and strength. I love that it is the client’s own inherent wisdom that creates healing which allows them to appreciate that they are capable of sustaining their own mental wellness going forward. 
  • It is a lovely way of leading a client to appreciate that they are already whole and wonderful as they are, and that they can find healing and strength from within themselves.”
  • Maureen Theberge, MA, Registered Psychologist
