What is Energy Psychology?
Energy psychology is a relatively new method of therapy that combines Eastern approaches to the mind and body with Western psychology and psychotherapy ideas. Practitioners of energy psychotherapy claim that tapping acupuncture points while thinking about an anxiety-producing event can cure anxiety and phobias.
Energy psychology (EP) is a collection of mind-body approaches for understanding and improving our wellbeing and mental health. This therapy looks at the relationship between thoughts, emotions, sensations, and behaviors, and known bioenergy systems (such as meridians and the biofield). It is believed that these energy fields exist, and interact, within individuals and between people.
An energy psychologist works on the emotional and physical issues that are present in the client’s personal energy field. Energy psychologists believe that the mind and body are related and if blocked through lived trauma and other external factors can lead to illness.
It is said that through energy psychology treatments that these blockages in our energy fields can be released and allow us to live more energetically happier lives.
A Short Demonstration of EFT, an Energy Psychology Method
In the above video, Janine from Change to Success goes through an EFT tapping demonstration to help with improving your self-belief. So EFT, emotional freedom technique, or ‘tapping’ helps you to remove negative feelings that are holding you back. As you can see, she is tapping on different parts of her face and hand, these are meridian points. Energy Psychologists believe tapping on these points removes blockages within our energy field that we all have. Once you have tapped on it enough it releases the feeling and thoughts allowing you to move forward in areas you previously couldn’t.

Although energy psychology, such as EFT ( emotional freedom technique), can sometimes be used in the NHS and be free for some ailments, it is a complementary holistic therapy that is offered mostly in private practice. We have several reflexologist specialists in our directory in the UK, USA, Europe, and Asia. Costs range from £30/$40 per session and sometimes can go up to £60/$100. On occasions, it can be more depending upon the therapist’s experience. Energy psychologists sometimes combine other services such as Chakra balancing, kinesiology, and also dreamwork.
How Do I Know Which Energy Psychologist To Choose?
One of the most important parts of any therapy is the relationship between yourself and the therapist. This helps you to be able to trust and allow someone into your personal space. Your therapist should discuss with you before your therapy starts what to expect and answer any questions you may have before your treatment begins. Usually, they also recommend you drink plenty of fluid before the therapy and after.
When you find the right energy psychologist that offers you the level of trust and relaxation you seek then you will benefit from a greater therapy experience.
What If It Doesn’t Work For Me?
