WHAT IS ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY?
 

The premise of Energy Psychology (EP) is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. These disruptions in the body’s energy system result in emotional distress, negative thinking and unwanted behaviors.

Energy Psychology (EP):

  • relieves depression, alleviates anxiety or eliminates negative thinking more quickly and thoroughly than traditional methods such as cognitive, behavioral or talk therapy.
  • combines the most effective of traditional therapies with the inherent movement of energy in the body.
  • treats the whole person: the mind, the body’s energy system (meridians and chakras) and the spirit. Symptom relief can result on all three levels.
  • uses a variety of methods to bring about symptom relief. For example, tapping or putting pressure on acupoints, holding your hand on a chakra, moving your hand over a meridian, and muscle testing (or kinesiology) to name a few.
  • is a family of treatment techniques that were first popularized in the mid 1980’s. While many clinicians and clients are reporting success, it is still considered a relatively new method for symptom relief.
