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.
