Energy Psychology has been called “acupressure for the emotions.” It is a therapeutic approach as well as a self-empowerment tool that draws from ancient spiritual practices and healing traditions(e.g. acupressure and yoga) as well as contemporary psychological techniques and understanding. It provides simple methods for shifting brain patterns that maintain unwanted thoughts, actions, and emotions. Tapping energy points on the surface of the skin while focusing the mind on specific psychological problems or goals shifts the brain’s electrical and chemical activity to help you:
- counter emotions that hold you back, such as fear, guilt, shame, jealousy, anger, or anxiety
- change unwanted habits and behaviors by uncoupling undesired responses from their triggers
- set positive goals that enhance your ability to love, succeed, and enjoy life
The approach offers powerful tools for the clinician as well as potent back-home tools for the client. This class is a hands-on introduction that will teach you the basic principles and enough technique that you can immediately begin using Energy Psychology in your own life and make informed choices about how it might be integrated into your practice if you are a clinician.
