Older psychology approaches which tried to get by without taking the reality of energy and the human energy body into consideration had an impossible task in trying to understand what metaphors are, where they come from, how they work and what they do. In Energy Psychology, we have a completely different approach to the definition of metaphor and how and why metaphor work can be conducted in a structural, positive manner.

Wayne writes: I have been using energy release techniques for the past several years and have decided that my life mission is to be an energy psychologist. I read your article on energy psychology and I was very impressed with the writing and information provided. I was wondering if you could tell me what steps I need to take to become an accredited energy psychologist.

Do I have to study clinical psychology first?

Whilst some of the roots of energy psychology are ancient, drawing on traditional Chinese Medicine, shamanism, and other sources, the modern origins of Energy Psychology lie in the innovative explorations of chiropractor George Goodheart in the 1960s.

Dr Silvia Hartmann writes: For the FIRST TIME, EVER, I have written the following in the pre-requisites for this course: Please note that it is pre-supposed on this course that you are “energy psychology enabled”. This means that you are able to use EFT, EmoTrance or any other energy psychology method of your choice to resolve fears, blockages and reversals that might occur in response to these exercises. Procrastination “I'll do that later ...” thinking “I can't do that,” being afraid “of what I might find out about myself” or rejecting an exercise as being “unneccessary” to your progress in this course are all examples of blockages and reversals. Please treat them accordingly and as soon as you become aware of their existence for the best possible FLOW OF INFORMATION.

It wasn't until I read this back that I realised that I was on the other side of a watershed.

Many Christians are, understandably, concerned about innovative counseling methods such as EFT or Instant BE SET FREE FAST (BSFF), and other more traditional approaches like various types of hypnosis, psychotherapy, and a variety of healing methods. Some are concerned that virtually any kind of psychological counseling is un-Christian, demonic, occult, New Age, humanistic, etc. Of course, these approaches are clearly not of God. They are man-centered and/or Satan-centered.

I am writing to help concerned Christians put this in Biblical perspective, and to reassure you that there is nothing inherently unchristian about any energy psychology method.
