Energy psychotherapy is a growing field showing great promise in
current neuropsychological research. It is the generic name for a
variety of mind/body techniques. According to Chinese medicine these
interventions restore homeostasis to the energy meridians while Western
medicine would say they integrate emotions emanating from the more
primitive parts of the brain. This is especially relevant when old
traumas remain unaffected by talk therapy. Although several modern
techniques were developed fifteen to twenty-five years ago, it is only
recently that they have become generally known. This practicum will
focus on learning them well enough to teach them to clients who have
become discouraged by years of unproductive efforts. 

Presentation topics may include but not be limited to:
●	How energy psychotherapy interfaces with talk therapy
●	Adaptations and variations in applying basic methods
●	Using EFT phrasing without tapping to reframe thinking patterns

●	Links between meditation, acupuncture, hypnosis, affirmation,
kinesthetic learning, prayer, and EFT
●	What to do when there seems to be little or no response
●	Incorporating the patient’s sense of humor into set-up and
reminder phrasing
●	Finding related aspects and issues that underlie what the client
presents
●	Best resources to learn about research 
●	Why and how to keep your use of energy psychotherapy alive and
well 
Participants will have time to practice, ask questions, and give
feedback.
