Therapy is 90% placebo anyway, so why criticize a particular technique for being a placebo? Personally I think TFT and EMDR just provide a focusing ritual. I do think it works somehow, but I'd guess that different rituals are interchangeable, like that woman discovered with the "sham" tapping points. I think there have been similar EMDR-debunking experiments that removed the eye-movements from the sequence and got the same results as the 'official' technique.
