How it all started
Meridian Energy Therapy was first developed by the US psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan in the early 1980s. Callahan was specially interested in treating the irrational fear found in diverse phobias, which turned people´s lives into a torment.
Since traditional Psychology was not bringing his patients the desired outcome, he started to learn Kinesiology, another method designed to relieve energy blockade developed by the US Chiropractor George Goodheart.
By that time, Callahan had a patient named Mary, who suffered since she was a child from water phobia. She was not able to take a shower or a bath, she could not see the rain or any picture of water on the TV without being in total panic. Symptoms like nausea, stomach pain and sweating were present even if she thought of water. Dr. Callahan´s progress on her treatment based on traditional Psychotherapy, was able to bring her to sit in front of the pool, but without looking at the water.
One day, knowing that Mary´s fobia brought her always severe stomach pain, he asked Mary to tap gently with her finger a point right under her eye. This point corresponds to the stomach meridian. And the result was almost unbelievable: Mary left the room, ran to the pool and started to play with the water and shout: It is gone, Dr. Callahan, it is gone!!!
This was the beginning of Meridian Therapy and after more than 20 years, Mary has no fear at all of water.
