| Energy Psychology: Mind/Body Techniques for Emotional Management | ||||||||||||||||||||
Energy Psychology is a groundbreaking, highly effective new treatment approach that combines somatic procedures derived from ancient Eastern acupuncture systems with Western cognitive strategies to effectively manage trauma symptoms. By addressing the body, mind and emotions simultaneously, this technique rapidly decreases emotional activation and reduces stress, fear and anxiety, while increasing feelings of resilience, confidence and peace. This class will introduce participants to the most popular form of energy psychology, Emotional Freedom Techniques. Clinicians will leave the class with practical tools they can begin to use in their practice with clients as well as techniques they can teach to clients for home use. Energy psychology is rapidly proving itself to be among the most powerful psychological interventions available to disaster relief workers for helping the survivors as well as the workers themselves. - Charles Figley, PhD, Past Chair, Department of Veterans Affairs Committee, who coined the term “PTSD” The procedures used in energy psychology “can bring about remarkably rapid changes in the way people feel and move through the world.” - Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Boston University Medical School This class can be taken as a standalone or as part of our Energy Psychology workshop series.
