Energy Psychology

 

Energy Psychology, developed by David Feinstein, Ph.D., Donna Eden, and Fred P. Gallo, PhD., integrates several different conventional techniques of therapy with yoga, acupressure, qi gong, and energetic medicine and empowers people to facilitate life altering change. The goal is to alter the electrochemistry of the brain by applying pressure to different energy points in the body and administering stimulation. Simultaneously, psychological methods such as cognitive therapy or imagery-based exposure techniques, are conducted, which bring about the energetic transformation. Rather than rely on the conscious mind’s capabilities to create change, this technique employs the aid of the unconscious forces within. Many people who undergo this form of treatment often report the immediate elimination of negative and maladaptive behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and memories.

Energy Psychology Techniques

The techniques used in Energy Psychology are responsible for helping people achieve fundamental, profound and permanent transformations in belief systems, emotions and behavior patterns. Because Energy Psychology uses a mind-body approach, the system is easy to master and even children can quickly begin applying these techniques to themselves independent of a facilitator. The results, however, are extreme and powerful and are being recognized by organizations around the world that respond to severe traumas. These organizations have chosen to integrate this relatively simple and highly effective system into their practice. Although this method of therapy is still under debate within the mental health community, there are widespread accounts of promising results. Energy Psychology has been shown to improve the symptoms of depression,anxietyphobiaspost-traumatic stress disorder, addictions, and improve athletic and academic performance.

 

Healing through Integration of Mind, Brain and Body

By integrating the resources of the mind, brain, and the body, the person is able to draw from multiple layers of healing mechanisms in order to expedite recovery through interconnected energy pathways. This form of therapy is used to help heal many different emotional states including guilt, anger, and fear. In addition, this technique can help create a shift in behavior patterns and maximize one’s capacity for loving, succeeding, or appreciating life.
