Where healing traditions and science meet. 


In the quest to bring energy psychology and energy healing more into the mainstream, ACEP honors the path of integrating the wisdom of healing traditions with benefits of the scientific method. 
 
Tens of thousands of professionals throughout the world, and a robust body of research show these methods work, time after time, in a wide variety of situations. 

 

Tapping methods have a robust body of research, several methods have some research, and others have none (yet). You can learn a wide variety of methods, including tapping. Plus, you'll discover findings from other fields that impact your understanding of energy psychology and energy healing, such as neuroscience, biology and physics. 

Over 176 research studies on energy psychology have been published in professional and refereed journals, and 99% document its effectiveness.


  • 88+ randomized controlled trials


  • 88+ pre-post outcome studies


  • 6 meta-analyses show energy psychology is an effective treatment for depression, anxiety and PTSD 


There are over 400 identified forms of psychotherapy, many of which have little or no research to validate them. Many energy psychology methods are both evidence-based and in the top 10% in terms of published research for psychotherapy modalities.

Make a bigger difference in your clients’ lives 


Energy psychology approaches… 


  • Are highly flexible and can be used with a wide variety of clients, including adults, children and families. 


  • Can be used in multiple settings, including private practice, schools, businesses, and hospitals. 


  • Excel because of their use of the body as part of the work. They can give your clients a way to rapidly and gently regulate their emotions without the use of medication.

 

  • Can be easily integrated within trauma-informed work, interpersonal neurobiology, and polyvagal theory. 



  • Empower your clients by providing simple self-help tools they can use themselves. 

These methods can be used to facilitate transformational change at many levels, including:


  • Resolving trauma, anxiety and other clinical disorders 


  • Working and living in flow 


  • Improving performance in the arts, sports, school and business



  • Living with greater connection, love and clarity 

"These treatments eliminated the chronic anxiety that I have had throughout my adult life and allowed me to recover an emotional clarity and simplicity of emotional experience that I possessed as a child. I consider this experience on the miraculous level - both the elimination of the anxiety and the cognitive experience."


 - P.C. / Pennsylvania 


"I was skeptical when my executive coach taught me energy psychology techniques. But now I use them all the time to reduce my stress and improve my ability to function at work."

Help your clients reduce stress and heal trauma more quickly, gently and effectively 


Many clients experience emotional pain, dysfunction and chronic stress as a result of past trauma. When the effects of trauma and stress are released from the body-mind system, the nervous system can return to a state of safety, giving your client new capacity to live in the present. Energy psychology tools are extremely efficient and are tailored to clear trauma gently from the body-mind system when combined with talk therapy.  

For example, studies have suggested that EP approaches may be twice as effective in half the time compared with prolonged exposure for veterans with PTSD.  

"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 

Enhance your self-care and avoid burnout 


Keeping yourself in better shape allows you to help others more effectively. These methods not only help your clients; they can help you work and live with greater presence and ease. 


"Clients have shifted from long-standing anxieties to a greater sense of courage, balance, and calm. And all the while, I’m doing the energy work alongside them, so my risk of burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization is greatly reduced. It’s a win-win approach and has been a complete game-changer." 


 - Matt Hersh, PhD, DCEP 

Grow your business and increase your income 


The global complementary and alternative medicine market size is expected to reach over $400 billion by 2028. More people than ever understand the importance of the body-mind connection, which makes it easier for you to attract new clients when you add energy psychology techniques to your service offering. 



You can also decrease your dependence on low-fee managed care contracts. Energy psychology is so effective that clients are willing to pay out-of-pocket for this service. 

ACEP works hard to increase general awareness of the power of these methods, which means more business for you. In fact, ACEP persuaded Psychology Today to list energy psychology as a treatment modality in its online therapist finder application. 


"I was contacted by a physician new to the area. She learned that I had treated several of her patients. She wanted to know more about what I did with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. The doctor wanted to offer her patients something other than medication.   

 

I told her that I had been using energy psychology for over 20 years and gave her clinical examples. Then she asked me, "Is there any research backing up your methods?" I told her, and then sent her a summary of studies in the field. Within the week, she referred several new clients."

"ACEP is a wonderfully enriching and supportive community, and it has kept me grounded during the covid 19 crisis and even through a few life transitions I’ve made during my membership, including a move and knee surgery (which I partially healed from during the conference!)" 


 - Aviva Chansky Guttmann, LMSW 


"For people who are looking for a place that matches their level of integrity, sensitivity and awareness, ACEP is that place. I can almost guarantee that you're going to find a resonance, a connection in this organization that you might not have found anywhere else." 


- Holly Timberlake, PhD
