How Well is Empower Energy Technique (EET) Working for Other Clinicians?

Since my presentation of Empower Energy Technique (EET) on June 4, 2023 during the ACEP conference, I've been curious about how well EET has been working out for them.
I've heard from several skilled energy medicine practitioners who began applying EET in their practices. One of them who emailed me about his use of EET is Mark Bottinick, LCSW, who has been using energy medicine techniques since the 1990s and was the first person who taught me Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
He's been using EET with great success and came on my podcast to talk about some of his positive experiences with EET. We also explore EET's limitations and how to use it most productively.

I've been learning about the role of forgiveness in healing. I find that forgiveness is easier said than done. Perhaps you may agree. However, because I believe that forgiveness in healing may be as important as detoxification in living, it's worth knowing how to go from mere words to the embodiment of forgiveness. Read on as I share a couple of simple stories that illustrate the power of forgiveness and how to forgive more easily:

What are the Top Three Mindsets in Holistic Psychiatry?
Listen now: http://buzzsprout.com/1645573/12394735
Holistic psychiatrists think differently. Most holistic and integrative psychiatrists evolved from traditional training programs that taught clinicians how to approach medically.
In order to become holistic practitioners, three key shifts in mindset must occur. These changes may take years to fully evolve in order to transform a traditional psychiatrist into a holistic and integrative psychiatrist.
What are the three major differences between a traditional vs. a holistic psychiatrist's way of thinking? Where are you along this spectrum of change?

My Journey
Born in Taiwan, raised in Utah, and living now in Maryland, I have ranged just as widely in my interests: from an early interest in creative writing, on to allopathic medicine, into orthomolecular psychiatry, and onward to energy medicine. Life has been for me a mix of contrasting experiences, widely varied in perspective and effect, helping me to develop a knack for integrating ideas, creating synthesis, and connecting concepts.
As a holistic psychiatrist, I integrate at least three fields of study: allopathic psychiatry, orthomolecular psychiatry, and energy medicine. Each field has its history of supporting scientific and empirical evidence: biochemistry, neuroanatomy, nutrition, quantum physics, and Eastern medicine.
I was trained at the University of Maryland in adult psychiatry, spending a whole year concentrating on the treatment of eating disorders. Then I trained as a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. In both training centers, the education was superb and well balanced in both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy.
However, my work in orthomolecular psychiatry began when I encountered patients who came to me young, chronically ill despite being heavily medicated, and debilitated by medication side effects. I looked for a way to help these young people find a better way to health. My search led to nutritional supplements, and my early clinical experiences with them convinced me that they had powerful healing value. Those early patients have been able to come off all medications and move on with their lives.
