Energy
Psychology (EP) is the name for a broad range of psychological
treatments that utilize the human energy system. Included in
this group are treatments such as Thought Field Therapy, Emotional
Freedom Technique, Releasing Technique, Be Set Free Fast, Tapas
Acupressure Technique and many other such therapies.
Each of these intentionally utilizes one of the human energy
systems -such as the meridian system, the chakra system or the
aura system – during psychological treatment. Psychological
therapies such as EMDR (Eye-Movement, Desensitization and Re-Processing)
and other deep therapies that access subconscious material,
may act energetically as well (that is, they may cause energetic
releases and healing). However, such therapies, do not intentionally
utilize one of the body's energetic systems and are not, therefore,
called "energy psychology" therapies.
There are also many energetic healing modalities that do not
use psychological processes – such as chi gong, acupuncture,
aromatherapy, reflexology, therapeutic touch and so forth –
and these, too, are not called “energy psychology” treatments.
The term “Energy Psychology” refers only those therapies that
use both psychological interventions and energetic interventions
together in a particular treatment format
