"I was trained at some of the best schools and yet wasn’t able to get far with some people, particularly those with trauma and addictions. And then I started using energy psychology. I made more progress with patients in a session or two than I had in several years of treating them. It blew me away." ~ Anthony Tranguch, MD, PhD

Energy psychology consists of practical mind-body-spirit methods to heal trauma and restore wholeness, and can be beneficial in a variety of areas.

Energy psychology's mind-body-energy approaches may be successfully integrated into psychotherapy, healthcare, and coaching for the treatment and enhancement of emotional and physical health, and performance.

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new." ~ Socrates

Energy psychology methods focus on a client’s thoughts, feelings and emotions at the same time as the client activates some aspect of the bio-energy system of the body such as meridians or chakras.

This is the first time these three processes have been integrated into a coherent narrative about EP’s effectiveness within an interpersonal neurobiology frame: https://bit.ly/EPneuroscience

What is Energy Psychology?

Energy Psychology (EP) is a mind-body approach to understanding and improving
human functioning. EP focuses on the relationship between bioenergy systems, neuro and electro physiological processes, and mental functions involving thoughts, emotions, sensations, and behavior. These systems and processes exist and interact within the individual and between people. They are also influenced by cultural and environmental factors.

Within an EP framework, emotional and physical issues are reflected in bio-energetic
patterns within and around the mind-body-energy system. Since the mind and body are thought to be interwoven and interactive, this mind-body-energy system involves complex communication involving neurobiological processes, innate electrophysiology, psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), consciousness, and cognitive-behavioral-emotional patterns.

The use of EP has resulted in the development of associated methods and models to treat psychological and emotional problems, facilitate health and wellbeing, and improve human performance. These models and methods are usually used within an integrative or holistic frame and include but are not limited to psychotherapy, counseling, coaching, integrative medicine, and other healing modalities.
