Abstract
Recently there has been increasing interest in investigating energy psychology theoretically and as clinical intervention. This article provides an overview of energy psychology, including its history, theory, active ingredients, and empirical research on the effects in general and for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. Personal and case vignettes are also provided to illustrate the treatment process. The therapeutic effects are also discussed with respect to neuroscience, cognitive restructuring, reciprocal inhibition, genetics, dis-traction, placebo effect, memory reconsolidation, and energetic and spiritual considerations.
Keywords: energy psychology, trauma, PTSD, Thought Field Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, midline energy treatment, energy diagnostic and treatment methods
