I first learned of energy psychology as a teenager - when it helped me to ease the pressure that schoolwork and romantic confusion was creating in my life.
I first learned of energy psychology when I was in high school. I was immersed in new and very confusing relationships, and like most of us as teenagers (and some of us as adults!), I believed that my emotions and my romantic entanglements were the hugest, most serious things in the world - and, certainly, that no one could understand what I was experiencing or help me with it.
Enter “Energy Diagnostics and Treatment Methods” (EDxTM), a form of energy psychology.
At first I scoffed. Tapping a few points on my fingers and my face, and repeating some cheesy affirmations, was going to help me to feel better about all my drama? Get real.
I was the first one to be shocked when the energy psychology tapping protocol I was directed to try really worked.
I could still think of the problems I was experiencing... and I knew that they had bothered me a whole lot. But for hours after the treatment, I was amazed that the problems and people I had been obsessing over suddenly weren’t in the forefront of my mind, and the pain and inner turmoil associated with thinking of them was gone.
Several years later, studying to become a practitioner myself, I learned EDxTM and basic EFT. I have used energy psychology techniques since then personally and to help others to relieve stress, heal depression, soothe heartbreak, and create calm. I’ve helped friends and clients to release pre-exam fears and improve their studying; to calm anger and soothe troubled animals and children; to help resolve problems that are too emotionally charged to even think about; to release phobias and other fears and anxiety. I’ve even heard of using energy psychology to improve your golf game!
I count energy psychology as one of the foremost tools in my healing and self-improvement arsenal. Knowing the power and versatility of energy psychology, EDxTM is a technique that I wouldn’t be without and that I expect I’ll be using - for my own benefit and others’ - for the rest of my life.
