What Is Energy Psychology?
Energy Psychology is a new field within psychotherapy which integrates work with the human energy system to bring about emotional relief of trauma and anxiety. It utilizes the subtle electromagnetic energies present in relation to the physical body that jointly comprise the human vibrational matrix. These components include the human biofield as a whole, the major energy centers called chakras and the meridian pathways and their related acupoints.
One form of Energy Psychology has been called acupressure for emotional relief. Stimulating specific acupressure points can help to relieve emotional distress of past, present and anticipated future as seen in generalized anxiety. By encouraging the client to be aware of the thoughts associated with the anxiety and touching treatment points along selected meridians, counselors can facilitate relief of distressing emotions. Over the past twenty years therapists have arrived at specific patterns to relieve phobias, traumatic experience, love pain and the stressors that lead to addictions.
