What is Energy Psychology?

At the intersection of contemporary Psychology, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Biophysics are a number of experimental treatments that show promise in assisting people who are unresponsive to traditional psychotherapy.  This family of mind-body interventions (including Thought Field Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques and the REMAP process) have been consistently clinically observed to help alleviate a wide range of psychological concerns including traumas, anxiety, phobias, grief, stress and to promote a higher level of health and peak performance in physical, mental and creative arenas.   These methods are rewriting the rule-book for psychotherapy.  By combining the use of acupressure and psychology, emotional pain is eased quickly and more comfortably than in traditional psychotherapy.  Like acupressure for the mind and emotions, these methods present a natural, drug-free system to eliminate negative emotions.  The results are rapid and effective. 

Research:  Preliminary Report of the First Large-Scale Study of Energy Psychology

At the 5^th Annual Energy Psychology Conference International 2003, Dr. David Feinstein reported that: “In preliminary clinical trials involving more than 29,000 patients from 11 allied treatment centers in South America during a 14-year period, a variety of randomized, double-blind pilot studies were conducted.  In one of these, approximately 5,000 patients diagnosed at intake with an anxiety disorder were randomly assigned to an experimental group (energy psychology) or a control group (Cognitive Behavior Therapy / medication) using standard randomization tables and, later, computerized software.  Ratings were given by independent clinicians who interviewed each patient at the close of therapy, at 1 month, at 3 months, at 6 months, and at 12 months.  The raters made a determination of complete remission of symptoms, partial remission of symptoms, or no clinical response.  The raters did not know if the patient received CBT / medication or energy psychology.  They knew only the initial diagnosis, the symptoms, and the severity, as judged by the intake staff.  At the close of therapy:                       

·         63% of the control group were judged as having improved

·         90% of the experimental group were judged as having improved.

·         51% of the control group were judged as being symptom free.

·         76% of the experimental group were judged as being symptom free.”                                                  

At one-year follow-up, the patients receiving energy treatments were less prone to relapse or partial relapse than those receiving CBT / medication, as indicated by the independent raters’ assessments and corroborated by brain imaging and neurotransmitter profiles.  In a related pilot study by the same team, the length of treatment was substantially shorter with energy therapy and related methods than with CBT / medication.”

REMAP Research Pilot Study:
Results from Treating 8 Trauma Survivors with the REMAP process and
Measuring Treatment Effects with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Analysis

We found that HRV measures greatly improved after REMAP treatment and correlated with client self-reports that presenting symptoms were significantly reduced after an average of 77.5 minutes of treatment.  Subjective Units of Distress eased by 87%.

More About the REMAP process:

The REMAP process is the state-of-the-art, acupressure-enhanced psychotherapy in the exciting new energy psychology treatment paradigm.  It utilizes the pathways and treatment points of the entire acupressure/acupuncture system to relieve emotional distress.  It provides a complete map of this system and also includes, brain balancing eye movement techniques and other leading-edge interventions.  The synergetic effect of this treatment is used to alleviate mental, emotional and energetic patterns of distress within the mind-body matrix.  The goal of this approach is to eliminate trauma, stress and self-limiting patterns while promoting wholeness, inner harmony and higher levels of functioning. 

The REMAP process is the only method that routinely utilizes all of the 361 acupuncture treatment points in a process that is so easy that you don’t even have to memorize any of the points. Elements of the REMAP process have even been successfully taught to children who have utilized the approach in their own self-help.  Now you can join therapists from around the United States and other countries who are discovering this powerful and exciting new treatment.

Other Comments About the REMAP process Professional Training:

“How immediately useful this approach is.  Steve has real mastery of the most valuable and powerful approach available and mastery of empowering others to acquire these skills.”

“REMAP goes way past TFT and EFT in the ability to deal with tough issues quickly.  REMAP leaves EMDR in its dust.  It is one of the most exciting and useful modalities available, definitely on the leading-edge of therapy and a pioneering endeavor.  Steve’s work with REMAP in the training has accomplished in minutes more therapeutic growth than months of more traditional approaches.  It should be required teaching in all schools of counseling, psychology and social work.”    Donald C. Mappes, Ph.D. (Licensed Professional Counselor)

“Totally comprehensive and useful.  Steve B. Reed’s REMAP process breathes new life into therapy and brings true healing to the therapeutic process.”    Lee Ann Rogers, MSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) 

“I have trained with Ellis, Glasser, Shapiro, and NLP trainers.  Steve Reed is by far the best teacher and trainer for therapists.”    Dana Lehman, Ph.D. (Psychologist) 

“The REMAP process is amazing.  It is the most effective technique I have seen in dealing with the treatment of trauma.”    Meg R. Thompson, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) 

“This presentation was very well prepared, profoundly effective and an absolute must for anyone who wants to be on the cutting-edge of the psychiatric, psychological, social work and human healing community.”
       Before doing this workshop I was trained in EMDR, TFT and EFT, all of which I have been using in my private practice and consultative work.  So far I have found that this works faster and smoother than the others.  The reduction of intense affects and abreactions seems to go faster with the REMAP process.  In the past using other methods I have not always been successful in bringing the SUD down all the way.  EFT and EMDR are effective helpful tools but the REMAP process moves like a rocket.  I have been using it only a short time but thus far it has not failed.  I would recommend this training to any trained therapist to help intensify and speed the treatment process.”   Myron H. Koch, M.D. (Psychiatrist) 

Who should attend?  Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Drug & Alcohol Counselors, Psychiatric Nurses, Life Coaches and serious students of the mental health field.
