Energy psychology is an umbrella term for mind-body therapies and techniques that address disruptions of subtle energy that appear to cause emotional distress, negative thinking and unwanted behaviors.
Energy psychology (EP) is an umbrella term for mind-body therapies and techniques that address disruptions of subtle energy that appear to cause emotional distress, negative thinking, and unwanted behaviors.
Practitioners include psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, physicians, nurses, chiropractors, drug and alcohol counselors, life and business coaches, educators, and others in the helping professions. Many lay people have learned and use energy psychology techniques to help family and friends.
Methods include working with the human energy system through acupressure-like techniques that feature self-tapping on particular points on the body, such as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Other techniques work with the body's chakra, aura or biofield. It is not uncommon to find practitioners combining energy psychology with other methods such as meditation and visualization.
Some techniques are based on the idea of "thought energy fields," which proponents believe are information fields that operate at the quantum level.
