FAQ's

1. Is Theta Healing permanent, or do you have to keep saying affirmations or having sessions for it to work?
   The changes Theta Healing causes are permanent, and clients do not need to say affirmations or keep coming in for sessions in order to reap the full benefit of Theta work. Of course, most issues are worked on separately: that is, if you have one issue, let's say depression, that is relieved in two or three Theta sessions, you would still have to work on an issue that arises a few months later, perhaps recurrent sinus infections, by having another session or two.
   
2. Is Theta Healing energy work, like Reiki or polarity therapy?
   Theta does not have that much in common with these hands-on energy techniques. Theta relies more on the science of epigenetics, quantum dynamics and kinesiology, as explained on the How Does Theta Healing Work? page on this website. Theta is not a hands-on energy technique; it heals by using the power of Source to change the vibrational patterns of the client's cells, thus changing the way they feel and their patterns of thinking and behavior.
   
3. What are the side effects of Theta Healing and New Decision Therapy?
   There are no side effects or risks with Theta or NDT.
   
4. Do I have to choose between getting Theta Healing/NDT and taking my regular medication or going to my doctor?
   No.  Theta and NDT work well in conjunction with regular medical treatment, and you are encouraged to use any form of healing, including Western medical doctors, therapists, etc., to achieve health.  Most Theta and NDT practitioners are not also medical doctors, thus do not give advice as to whether a client should take medications.  If clients find they need to reduce the dosage of a medication or decide they’d prefer to go off a med, they must work with their doctors to wean their bodies off the medication slowly.  They make this decision themselves, working in conjunction with their MD.  Healing comes in all different forms, including surgery, medication… and of course alternative methods.
   
5. Do you use massage or any kind of healing touch during Theta or NDT?
   No. There is barely any physical contact between the practitioner and client in these techniques. The exception is that when the practitioner uses kinesiology, or muscle response testing, she touches the finger and thumb of the client to see if their muscles are showing a strong or weak response.
   
6. How many sessions do most people need before they get better? And how much does a session cost?
   

   The number of sessions necessary varies from client to client.  Some clients have great success in just one session; others need many sessions over a period of time to address a deep-seated and complex condition.  But most clients find they can create significant physical and emotional change in 3 sessions. 

   The initial session, which lasts an hour and a half, costs $100.  Subsequent sessions, which last an hour, cost $80.  At the end of each session, the practitioner makes a recommendation regarding whether another session is necessary, and the client of course makes the final decision about whether to make another appointment.
   
7. Where is your office?  Can I get Theta and NDT over the phone?
   My office is located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and you can make an appointment by calling 212/260-5727 M – Fr, or by emailing me at taragreenway@aol.com.  You can receive Theta Healing by telephone.  NDT is done only in person.
   
8. Do you take insurance? What if I want this work done but I just can't afford it?
   

   I wish I could accept insurance, but I can’t.  Insurance companies have not yet come to the place where they cover CAM, or complementary alternative medicine, except for a few companies that will cover some specific short-term acupuncture, chiropractor or psychotherapy fees.  This is because insurance companies, like many medical doctors, feel that they cannot recognize the effectiveness of a technique until it undergoes replicable, peer-reviewed, double-blind scientific studies.  Theta Healing would probably hold up very well in a study like this, but this type of study requires tens of thousands of dollars and the interest of several researchers.  While Theta Healing techniques have been tested by doctors with equipment like electroencephalogram (which verify that practitioners are going into the theta brainwave in a matter of seconds, and that their pulse and breathing rates drop while in theta), and many clients do have medical tests like X-rays, blood work and brain scans from before and after Theta Healing that show marked improvement for no other reason than from Theta work, Theta Healing has not thus far undergone the type of rigorous scientific examination required by insurance companies.  (If you can help get a Theta study funded, please get in touch!)

   Thus, I do have a sliding scale for those who would like to receive Theta or NDT but find it impossible for financial reasons.  You can ask about this when you arrange your appointment.
