Not all of the new energy therapies evolved from Thought Field Therapy. Therapy involves the client thinking about a distressing issue and moving their eyes back and forth in a lateral field or being tapped on their body rhythmically. Developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro, it has had a wide array of research and is recognized, even by skeptics, to have a high degree of success. L icensed Acupuncturist Tapas Fleming came up with a very different technique. Tapas Accupressure TechniqueTM uses a specific holding pattern on energy points on the skull with focusing on a series of thoughts and feelings.
Results are equally powerful and lasting.
N ahoma Clinton created Matrix Work, a process that uses the chakras as the focal energy points. She works with core beliefs rather than feelings. What is most impressive about all these Energy Therapies is their results. Resolution means that the client will be exposed to a feared object or situation or think about a past trauma and feel no distress, usually permanently. Karen E.
