TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique) is a gentle, simple and powerful healing technique that combines lightly holding a few acupressure points on your head as you put your attention on a problem.
TAT is well established in America and Europe, though relatively new to Australia. In January, 2008, a small group of practitioners (including myself) attended a TAT workshop in Melbourne. It was the first TAT workshop ever held in Australia. The teacher was Reza Gunawan, an Holistic Health Practitioner based in Jakarta, Indonesia. He is a very gifted and insightful man who inspired everyone with his love and appreciation for the TAT process.
Reza is now returning to Melbourne to lead a special TAT group healing session in Burwood. This is a fabulous healing opportunity for anyone interested in experiencing the benefits of TAT.

How TAT Helps Trauma Victims
TAT for war VETS
In August, 2008, a TAT workshop was held in America for combat veterans and active military personnel. Retired Colonel, Brian Davis attended, just to prove that TAT wouldn’t help soldiers. The first night of the workshop, he decided to work on the very worst trauma that ever happened to him in combat. When he returned for the second night, the TAT team was in tears after he told them that he had dreamed of his children for the first time ever and that he’d slept well for the first time in years. He explained that previously, he’d typically wake up 15 times a night in one combat situation or another, pace through his home, sleep restlessly again and would finally greet the day in a torn up bed. After learning TAT, he reported that the bedding next to him was smooth and unruffled from his peaceful sleep. His story was reported in the local Columbus, Georgia newspaper.
Further workshops for veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are under way in America.
TAT for Disaster Relief
The same aspects of TAT that make it deal for war veterans also apply in the event of a major disaster because it is very simple to learn and always uses the same acupuncture points on the head. TAT does not require anyone to relive or re-experience a trauma. It is actually less language-intensive than other forms of
therapeutic intervention and allows a person to focus attention on the issue as s/he sees it, without having to describe what happened or put words to it in any way.
TAT has an outstanding track record for use in disaster relief around the world. The Mexican Association for Crisis Therapy used TAT with large groups of about 1,650 children after natural disasters in Mexico (floods), Nicaragua (floods and landslides), Colombia (earthquake) and Venezuela (floods and landslides). TAT was also used successfully for Tsunami relief in Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia.
