The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology

The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology ACEP is a nonprofit of licensed, allied health practitioners dedicated to energy psychology.

Energy Psychology (EP) is a family of evidence supported modalities that balance, restore and improve human functioning by combining physical interventions (using the acupuncture system, the chakras and other ancient systems of healing) with modern cognitive interventions such as imagery-based exposure therapy.

✨ Real transformation is possible. ✨

We hear stories like this again and again from healing practitioners who integrate energy psychology into their work — and from the clients whose lives are changed by it.

Heather LaChance, PhD, DCEP, shares:
“Clients are delighted with the results of energy psychology. They see that they can actually change things within themselves instead of just dissecting them, which is so common in conventional approaches. They may have been able to cope better as a result of conventional methods, but they didn’t experience the deep, transformational change that comes from energy psychology work. They often feel a profound sense of wholeness and well being they have never felt before."

If you're ready to deepen your skills and help clients experience this kind of meaningful change, we’d love to support your journey.

Raising your energy doesn’t have to be complicated. ✨

Energy psychology reminds us that small, intentional practices can shift our nervous system, support emotional regulation, and help us feel more balanced and resilient throughout the day. When the body and mind are supported together, even simple actions can create meaningful change.

Stress is a reality for many students — especially those in high-pressure academic environments. 🧠📚

This ACEP blog highlights research exploring how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) supported South Korean medical students in reducing test stress, anxiety, and negative emotional states through brief, group-based sessions.

The findings point to something important: even short, structured energy psychology practices may offer meaningful support for stress regulation and emotional well-being in demanding settings.

If you’re interested in the research behind EFT, academic performance, and stress reduction, this article offers valuable insight.

Feeling shaken by a stressful memory… or just carrying more emotional intensity than you’d like?
The Simple Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a gentle, evidence-informed way to help calm the nervous system, release emotional charge, and help you reconnect with yourself. It is an adaptation of the original Emotional Freedom Technique developed by Gary Craig.

This easy tapping process uses specific acupressure points to help shift stress, fear, overwhelm, and lingering emotional tension — anytime you need relief.

Here’s a quick overview of how Simple EFT works:

✨ 1. Bring to mind the upsetting memory or feeling
Just lightly connect with it — no need to relive it fully.

✨ 2. Rate your emotional intensity (0 = none, 10 = overwhelming)

✨ 3. Tap the karate chop points
Repeat the statement three times:
“Even though I have this ________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

✨ 4. Tap through the sequence of points
— Top of head
— Eyebrow
— Side of eye
— Under eye
— Under nose
— Chin
— Under collarbone
— Under arm
— Side of ribs

Tap each point gently 7–10 times while holding your feeling or memory in mind.

✨ 5. Recheck your emotional intensity
If there’s still charge, repeat another round. With each cycle, the intensity usually decreases — helping you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded.

The carousel gives you the basics, but you can follow the full guided steps at the link below.
