PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
EFT SUCCESS STORY
KNEE PAIN RELIEF
Annie O’Grady, Certified EFT Practitioner
Carole Stern,
MS, RN-C, DCEP
Dear ACEP members,
It’s hard to believe my second term as
ACEP President will be wrapping up at
the end of this year. I am excited to welcome Debby Vadja as our President Elect.
Thanks go to all the board and committee members for their hard work that has
helped us accomplish some significant
achievements over the course of my two
terms at the helm.
As we work together as a board, we also
develop relationships with one another.
Although we come from all over the country and even different parts of the world,
we begin to feel like family. And so, when
a term is over or someone decides to leave
the board, we feel a loss. During my term
I have had to say goodbye to a number of
board members: Maria Becker, George
Pratt, Melinda Connor and, most recently, Mary Hammond. I miss all of you.
Without your tireless efforts ACEP would
not be in the exciting place of expansion
and growth it’s in now. You have put in
countless hours of volunteer time for this
organization that we love. Thank you so
much for your years of dedication. I know
that you continue to be ambassadors for
ACEP and will continue to support us in
many ways.

wing, and we can fly only by embracing
each other.”

A new client of mine, Delrae, an attractive woman in mid-life, walked slowly into
my office. She was limping and a little bent
over, because of severe pain in her left knee.
She later rated this pain at 10/10 “most of
the time,” so that she was constantly holding
back tears. Because of the pain, she had not
been able to bend that knee for six months.
Arthritis had robbed the knee of cartilage, so
she was walking, or limping, “bone on bone.”
Delrae assumed that the lack of cartilage
meant that she would always have to be in
pain. She was exploring her options around
knee replacement, visiting physiotherapists
and doctors. She had done some tapping
years ago, and wondered if EFT could help
her now.
An hour later she walked around my room
without that left knee pain. She easily bent
the knee to a right angle. She was standing
upright. Six weeks later Delrae emailed me.
She was jubilant that, not only was the knee
still free of pain, but the improvement in her
posture had apparently freed a trapped nerve
that had been creating a sciatica-type pain in
her lower back, so she was now free of that
too. She added, “I still need to do exercises
for the knee, but it’s all good.”
How did this happen?
Here is how this new freedom happened
so quickly for her. I explained to Delrae that
because I am not a medical practitioner, our
work together would address the emotional
and cognitive issues contributing to the
pain. I told her that, as unlikely as it seems,
I had read of cases where people with a
similar knee problem had become pain free,
although there was no guarantee this would
happen for her. I shortened my client intake
process with her as I was keen to start tap-
ping, because she was in such pain. Even so,
gathering information took up a third of the
session time.
I asked basic health questions. She had
been diagnosed with depression recently,
had a weight issue, and suffered from various
other aches and pains. She quoted a recent
X-ray on her left knee as showing “L4/5 and
L5/S1 disc height is lost, and Grade 1 anterolisthesis at L4/5.”
I next asked her to list traumas she’d experienced throughout her life, especially up to
age 18. I gave her a one page questionnaire
from the US Adverse Childhood Experiences
(ACE) major scientific study of how trauma
in early life is likely to result in serious illness or behavioral problems later in life. This
includes arthritis, as well as cancer, heart
disease, bone fracture, diabetes, and more.
Delrae briefly identified traumas from her
upbringing, including physical violence
in her home, lack of emotional support,
often watching her mother being physi—Continued on page 2

cally attacked, having a mentally ill family
member. She also included trauma caused
through her church upbringing. Simply listing these memories brought tears—and she
had not even thought about traumas beyond
age 18.
Where to start?
Delrae now said that she constantly felt
angry and tense, so to me that was the place
to start. I was of course looking for the fastest
way to relieve her suffering in the knee. If this
doorway did not lower the pain, I would try
another.
Her left knee pain was 10. Her anger about
having it was 10. I asked her to imagine the
color of the pain, and she said red. “Even
though I have this terrible red pain always
in my left knee, and I am so angry about it,
I love and accept myself deeply and completely.” I tap along with my clients. Our first
round took both the anger and the pain from
10 to 9. So we continued with this, and over
the rest of the session her Subjective Units of
Disturbance Scale (SUDS) slowly crept down
by ones. The color of the pain started to fade.
Along the way Delrae became overwhelmed a couple of times, and I taught her
the overwhelm protocol of tapping silent
rounds to swiftly restore calm. As we tapped
away the current stress, her anger focus
shifted between anger about the knee pain to
anger about her remembered childhood situ-
ations. We were still working generally about
her anger. Occasionally another aspect would
intrude, especially sadness, and we would
tap that down before returning to the anger.
When both anger and pain had reduced to 1,
we did the Choices process: “Even though I
still have some pain in my left knee, I choose
instead to have total peace (her words) in my
left knee.” She reached 0.
Testing the work
Then I asked her to test how her knee felt
when she walked on it. That was when she
walked around the room, marveling at being
free of the pain that had blighted her life, and
at her new mobility. I explained that we could
not predict how long freedom from this pain
would last. If it came back, I said, that would
probably be a signal that she needed to clear
more of her burden of emotional pain, but
she would need also to consult her doctor.
Some modern research suggests that emotional pain can exacerbate physical pain by
at least 65 percent. Here, we had done a lot
better.
Follow up report
As time went on and Delrae did not return
for another session, I was disappointed not
to be assisting her to heal from her many
traumas, to see what difference we could
make with other physical pain and with her
depression and weight.
But she had taken away my how-to EFT
book, Tapping Your Troubles Away with EFT.
Six weeks after her session she emailed me
that the knee was still free of pain. She also
reported that, because her posture was now
upright and she no longer limped, the lower
back sciatica-type pain had also disappeared.
“Tapping has very much become a regular
happening in my life now, and once again,
ever so grateful to you.” (As am I, to EFT and
Gary Craig…)
Delrae also wrote, “The surgeons are
saying yes, go ahead with knee replacement.
But just at the moment I’m doing so well.
I will give it some consideration if I’m in
trouble. I only wish we had stem cell work
going on in Australia as they are in the US,
having great successes with knees, rebuilding
the cartilage.”
She now has a breathing space to consider
her choices for longer-term care of the knee.
Meanwhile, she is able to return part time to
her own bodywork practice, which requires
her to be able to stand and bend for up to an
hour, and some of her depression has lifted.
She is no longer always on the verge of tears

Another Champion
More Exciting News
for the EFT/EP-in-Sports World!
Greg Warburton
During the 2010 wrestling season, the Oregon
State University wrestling
coaches told me they had
recommended that five of
their starters contact me to
focus on mental training.
Subsequently, one wrestler
out of the five did contact
me. I began work with Chad in 2010, focusing on
his mental training, including teaching him Emotional Freedom Technique/Energy Psychology
(EFT/EP) methods.
Since that time, Chad has followed one of the
primary tenets for winning championships. He
has sustained mental game practices (including his
use of EFT tapping); diligently practicing mental
and emotional self management skills, just as he
diligently practices his physical wrestling skills.
In 2011, Chad earned his first berth at the
NCAA wrestling championships in mid March. Then, in April, he
went to the University Nationals tournament. He said, in winning
six matches in a row to win the championship, that he defeated five
All-American wrestlers and defeated last year’s national champion.
In mid June Chad will participate in the upcoming tournament for
selecting US team members for the World Championships. To date,
Chad is the only wrestler on the current Oregon State University
team who has won a national championship.

During fall 2011, I talked with Chad about how he had handled
the mental and emotional challenges while under the pressure of
wrestling six of the nations’ top wrestlers in his weight class and,
ultimately, winning the championship. He said he used tapping
throughout the tournament, adding that he uses some face points
and torso points, even during his matches. He has figured out how
to activate key acupoints that work for him for the few second breaks
during the actual wrestling match. He said that he figures that his
fellow wrestlers probably wonder what he is doing when he is tapping
points on his body, but added that it’s OK because he is winning and
is now “super confident.”
I met again with Chad in early February, 2012, to review his success
this season and find out about his start in an international wrestling
competition. Chad let me know that now his training regimen is balanced between a physical and mental training focus. He said he still
taps before matches and during matches he always taps face points,
adding “I work on it (mental training) so much now.” Following is
a statement by Oregon State University wrestling coaches in mid
February, 2012, about Chad winning a silver medal in his first international competition
The club is busy competing in international competition around the
world. Yesterday Chad Hanke earned a silver medal in the Ukraine,
defeating multiple world class wrestlers, before dropping his match in
the finals to the 2011 World Bronze Medalist. This was a great breakthrough for Chad as he prepares for a shot at this summer’s United
State Olympic Team. Hanke…has a shot at competing in London.

Chad made by the Team USA coach, click on the link below:

make the U.S. Olympic team.

THE E NE R G Y F I EL D
Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology
—President’s message continued from page 1
We would like to welcome our new members to the ACEP Board of Directors: John
Diepold, Phil Mollon, and Bob Pasahow.
Phil Mollon is hard at work on the Ethics
Committee revising ACEP’s complaints
procedure and preparing a presentation for
the conference. John Diepold has joined the
Humanitarian Committee, now chaired by
Caroline Sakai. Bob Pasahow will be taking an
active role in the Research Committee as well
as acting as liaison to the ATFT members who
have joined ACEP.
Fred Gallo is working on the International
portfolio and has already made significant
progress in having sections of the website
and other materials translated into other languages. Lynn Karjala is the newest member of
the Executive Committee and will step into
the role of Secretary as Debbie Vajda moves
into her role as President Elect.
If any of the above committees sound exciting to you, please advise us of your interest.
This is your organization and the more you
give, the more you will get back.
The nominating committee continues to
look for candidates to fill current empty posi-
tions and to add a few additional members. If
you have suggestions, please share them—the
committee is always open to ideas from the
membership.
At our board retreat held in January, Jim
Klopman led the board on a brilliant visualization to set our intention for our goals for
the upcoming year and beyond. In fact, we
will be having a special session at the 14th
Annual Energy Psychology Conference on
Saturday morning at 8:00 am so that everyone
can participate in the same visualization process. We will videotape this gathering, so even
if you cannot attend the conference you will
still be able to participate.
With that in mind, I wanted to say a few
words about the value of attending the conference. Far beyond learning new skills (although
that is a significant aspect of the event), the
most important reason to attend the conference, in my opinion, is to renew your connection with Energy Psychology (EP) and
your colleagues. Over the many years I have
attended, my inspiration about practicing this
healing work has been rejuvenated. It is an
uncanny experience. I have talked with many
4
others who feel the same way.
Part of the renewal process is seeing people
that I have not seen in a year. In this digital
and virtual world, there is something special
about seeing someone in person, giving them
a hug, sharing a meal together. Our brains and
bodies and energy systems evolved for tens
of thousands of years to connect with people
who are near us. While subatomic particles
can interact at distance, I do not think it is the
same for people.
In addition, each year ACEP invites provocative and inspiring keynote speakers from
outside the area of EP. I am always amazed
how much I end up incorporating into my
practice from these addresses. This year we
have some of the best keynoters we have ever
had.
If you are thinking about attending, I urge
you to be kind to your wallet—registration
ends May 4 (which can help you save up to
$100).
I hope to have the opportunity to connect
with you in person in San Diego this June.
Here’s to renewal and inspiration,

How Do Energy
Psychology Techniques Work?
Philippe Isler, MA
We know that the energy psychology techniques we use are effective. We know it from
our own clinical experience, from innumerable accounts of others’ clinical experience,
and we know it increasingly from research.
One of the questions of immense interest to
me, and clearly to others—as it is the subject
of considerable discussion—is: “how are
these techniques effective?” Just within the
practice of Emotional Freedom Technique
(EFT) there is considerable debate over
whether the effect and the effectiveness of
the technique comes from tapping on the
acupressure points, or from other factors.
In Thought Field Therapy (TFT) there
is clinical and anecdotal evidence of the
effectiveness of tapping on specific points,
and in a specific order, for specific issues.
But some aspects of this discussion become
moot, when we consider the equal effectiveness of other techniques: for example, Tapas
Acupressure Technique (TAT), in which we
hold a fixed set of acupressure points and
make deliberate, intentional statements;
Heart Assisted Therapy (HAT), in which
the hands are placed over the heart chakra
and the focus is on breath and statements
of acceptance; Seemorg Matrix Work®
has been renamed Advanced Integrative
Therapy (AIT), in which the technique is to
place hands over chakras and make statements; and Logosynthesis, which works
even more simply with three simple sentences, intentionally acting on the energy
field with just words.
So if taken together, these techniques are
effective whether intentional statements are
used or not, whether acupressure points
are stimulated or not, whether chakras
are worked with or not, the only common
denominator between them is attunement
to the issue—the problem, and one’s reaction to it—while performing a behavior
(tapping, holding, speaking) that purportedly activates an energy system, and that
also keeps the attention in the present
moment. One could conclude from this—or
at least make a preliminary conclusion—
that the effect and the effectiveness of these
techniques, therefore, lies in doing just that:
being attuned to the problem and to the
problematic reaction, while splitting attunement and focus, and maintaining some of
it in the present.
This is what some research focuses on, and
on which more research needs to be done.
However, from personal experience I would
say that while just doing this can be effective
sometimes, it is not as effective as, nor with
the consistency and frequency of, any of the
above techniques. Furthermore, in using any
of these techniques we commonly experience
specific responses to specific stimuli that
vary with the intervention. With EFT it can
I think it tells us that we have
to be very careful to remember
that our concepts about these
energy systems and about
what we are doing with them
are models of reality, not
reality itself.
be a distinct and specific energy resonance—
a felt sense—while tapping on certain points,
at certain times, for certain issues while not
on others. (This, of course, supports the
premise underlying TFT.) In practicing TAT,
depending on the issue being worked on,
certain steps evoke more of an energetic and/
or emotional effect than others. Similarly,
in practicing Logosynthesis, I consistently
notice with myself as well as with clients,
that there are times when it is the sentence
about retrieving energy that results in a
more marked effect, whereas there are other
times when it is the sentence about removing
energy that has a more marked effect. And
5
I’ve certainly experienced, as I am sure many
others have, a sudden unblocking of the process as a result of working on Psychological
Reversals.
In other words, my personal and clinical
experience is that the specific, distinguishing aspects of each technique appear to
have specific effects. It is also my experience
and many of my clients’ experience that the
techniques—and the work with the techniques —is more effective when done within
a therapeutic relationship with a facilitator.
This speaks to the effectiveness of the therapeutic relationship itself, which has been
researched and shown to be significant.
This is a reminder that we are working
with complex, interactive energy systems—
or, rather, interactive parts of a whole energy
system, something which is integral to the
concept and teaching of comprehensive
energy psychology. But I think it reminds
us of more than that. I think it tells us that
we have to be very careful to remember that
our concepts about these energy systems
and about what we are doing with them are
models of reality, not reality itself.
While it is interesting, and useful, and
necessary to explore the specific mechanisms by which different Energy Psychology techniques work—if only to be better
able to explain and validate them within an
old mechanistic paradigm—it is important
that we keep in mind that those mechanistic
answers aren’t the real answer, and can keep
us within the old paradigm, even when we
think that we are changing it. Trying to
formulate the real answer draws us into a
different paradigm, where we have to think
and talk about ourselves, and all beings,
not as mechanistic creatures with mechanistic cause and effect mechanisms, but as
energetic beings, whose physical bodies
and mental bodies are manifested through
complex energy systems of which we only
have partial glimpses.

ACEP Canada Board Members Focus on Research
A Thought Field Therapy (TFT) Workshop
in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories
Recently ACEP board members have been focusing on the importance of research during their monthly teleconferences. Dean Hughie,
MEd, chair of ACEP Canada’s research committee, has accepted the
responsibility of leading the board members in a deepening understanding of the ongoing research in Energy Psychology. During the
Board’s February 16 meeting, Dean, having attended Dr. Claude
Swenson workshop during last year’s conference in Reston,
Virginia, engaged the group and evoked excitement and interest in
Dr. Swenson’s findings in his most recent book, Life Force, the Scientific Basis. Also, following the meeting, each member was forwarded
a copy of John Freedom’s excellent and most recent article, “Energy
Psychology: The Future of Therapy.”
Inspired by Susan Yazdanmehr, BSc, an ACEP Canada board
member, and Taravat Ostover, MSc, Susan’s friend in Yellowknife,
plans are underway to offer a TFT course in Yellowknife, Northwest
Territories. Susan and Taravat have both tested the interest level
and they feel confident that a TFT workshop would be successful
in Yellowknife. Taravat Ostover is a friend of Dr. Franzsi Ng, EdD,
Director of the Center for Extraordinary Living in Prince George,
British Columbia. Dr. Ng served on the board of The Association of
Thought Field Therapy and currently teaches TFT in northern British
Columbia and Alberta. There is excitement, energy and desire to see
this northern project come to fruition with confirmed support from
ACEP Canada and the Alberta Society of Energy Therapies.

Although
short, they are very
important so we know
about our members and what they are
experiencing. We sent the first one out in
the February E-news. The results will be
ready shortly. You may find the answers
surprising. I did. They will be posted on

next month.
The Conference
By now you have gotten your print
brochure for the conference. Looks great
doesn’t it? Notice that there are significant
many changes to conference schedule. Our
next price increase is May 4 So sign up now
and join over 400 people that are already
coming to the conference. Remember to
register at the hotel ASAP because it will
sell out. We are arranging overflow at the
Marriot but that is several miles away and
will probably be more expensive.
There does not seem much point in
repeating one more time how great the
keynoters, invited presenters and breakouts
are this year. I am also impressed with the
pre-conference seminars: The big problem
for everyone is the need to choose
just one. Check them out. If you do come
to one of these one-day events you can
attend the Gary Craig evening keynote for
free. I completely agree with what our President Carol has said about the main benefit
of attending the conference is renewal.
We have several special events. We will be
having Japanese drummers open the conference Thursday night and Friday morning.
Swami Beyondanonda will be Emceeing
throughout the conference. On Friday, the
conference ends at 7:00pm and the rest of
the evening is free We will be having buses
that will take you into and back from Coronado or San Diego. Also for this year only
there will be three free buffet lunches (and
additional $40 value). Here are a couple of

Changes to EFT certification
We are making some change to our EFT
workshops and certification program. The
title introduction to EFT failed to communicate the tremendous amount of information and learning that people were getting.
Effective immediately this training will be
called EFT Professional Skills 1. Upon completion of the training, attendees will get a
certificate of completion. Completing EFT
College will lead to a certificate of completion of EFT Professional Skills 2. Completion of the 3 Day Intensive EFT workshop
immediately leads to a certificate of completion of EFT Professional Skills 3. These are
not certifications per se. After successful
completion of the 4th step of individual
consultations, a student is certified as an
ACEP Certified Practitioner of EFT.
Our first 3 day intensive is immediately
after the conference June 5-7, 2012.. This
workshop is part of the certification program. We are bending the rules a little to
make sure that the workshop is filled. Normally, people in the certification pro- gram
must have passed the written test (EFT
Professional skills 2) to take this workshop.
However this time only we are allowing
people to take the written test later. Also we
have extended the lowest price until April
15th. For more information contact Leslie

BOOK REVIEW
Men Alive: Stop Killer Stress
with Simple Energy Healing Tools
By Jed Diamond
Philippe Isler, MA
Jed Diamond is a psychotherapist who has
written a number of books over the years
focusing on men’s issues, “men’s work” and
men’s health. His new book Men Alive: Stop
Killer Stress with Simple Energy Healing Tools
integrates this long-time focus with a more
recent interest in Energy Healing.
The book is divided into three parts. The
first part provides background summarizing: a) specific issues afflicting men, and the
significantly elevated health risks that men
face; b) the effects of stress on health, and the

Whether you’re a practitioner of Energy
Medicine, Energy Psychology, or any other
energy based healing modality, the Toolkit
for Energy Healing Practitioners is the “how
to make a successful practice” resource for
which we all have been waiting!
Following in the steps of Feinstein’s
seminal Energy Psychology Interactive (2004),
the interactive Toolkit is the most innovative
the practical application of these approaches
and techniques to specific issues that often
challenge men: depression, pain, and
mid-life transition (Andropause). Finally,
Diamond discusses the challenge and the
need to move beyond personal healing and
transformation, to social and global healing
and transformation.
This book is a significant contribution to
the literature of “men’s work” or “the men’s
movement” in that Diamond is introducing
concepts and techniques of energy healing to
this audience, and also in that he is expanding
the discussion of truly holistic and truly healing approaches not just to “male issues” but
also to the underlying patterns of thinking
and behavior that afflict men. I also see this
as a significant contribution to the literature
on Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine
for two reasons: one is that Diamond is
introducing the discussion of men’s issues to
a field that I find generally lacks awareness of
them; the other is in suggesting a very broad
and inclusive concept of Energy Healing that
includes relational attachment—something
with which I am in complete agreement. In

This unique perspective is often refreshing,
and the information and documents, being

The Ethics Handbook is a comprehensive
resource that addresses the complex issues
facing all clinicians. The practice of energy
healing presents many unique ethical, moral,
and spiritual challenges. Energy healing
practitioners, many of whom may not have
formal clinical training, will benefit from
this clear introduction to a variety of basic
topics, such as client confidentiality, scope of
practice, and professional liability. However,
even the seasoned professional will be challenged by many of the fifty case vignettes
that clearly expose and address the ethical
complexities and paradoxes arising in an
everyday energy based practice. How do you
maintain an ethical client centered approach
when faced with a medical intervention
that you view as unnecessary; or when you
sense your client has undiagnosed cancer; or
if your client is unhappy with the progress
made after numerous sessions with you; or
if an ongoing client asks to barter for your
services in order to continue the treatment?
The Ethics Handbook helps us think
through such dilemmas by illuminating the
fundamental clinical and ethical values in the
context of promoting the health of the client
and showing us how we can act from these
10
core values. An extensive chapter elaborating
an Ethics Code for Energy Healing and its
application to a wide variety of clinical issues
provides a set of guidelines that sets a standard for our field.
The Toolkit and the Ethics Handbook are
essential additions for your clinical library.

RESEARCH REVIEW
I
’m sorry to report that Dr. Melinda
Connor has resigned as research director
of ACEP for personal reasons. As you may
know, Melinda was instrumental in upgrading our website, applying for research grants,
networking with ISSSEEM and the Energy
Medicine Community, and bringing a new
level of professionalism to our committee.
We remain friends and colleagues, and she
has agreed to be available to us as an informal consultant, while we seek a new research
director.
W
e are happy to announce that we will be
presenting our second annual ‘Energy
Psychology Research Day,’ on Thursday,
May 31 in San Diego. This event will begin
with a keynote speech by Dr. Garret Yount
of San Francisco Medical Center. Dr. Yount
is the co-author, along with Dawson Church
and Audrey Brooks, of a study entitled “The
Effect of Emotional Freedom Technique
(EFT) on Stress Biochemistry: A Randomized Controlled Trial,” scheduled for publication in the Journal of Nervous and Mental
Disease. Papers to be presented will include
original studies re: TFT in the Treatment of
PTSD in Rwanda, EFT For Food Cravings
and Weight Loss, EFT and Soccer Performance, TFT Treatment of Chronic Pain, and
single case studies involving HBLU Treatment of PTSD, EFT Treatment of PTSD,
and WHEE and Energy Medicine in the
Treatment of Allergic Reaction. The day will
conclude with an overview of recent research
in EP by David Feinstein, entitled “Acupoint
Stimulation: Evidence for Efficacy.”
W
e have received approximately 16 submissions for grants from our Request
For Proposals. These have been sent to our
Evaluation Committee, consisting of Linda
Turner, PhD., Jack Rowe, PhD, Tiffany
Barsotti, Bob Hoss, and Robin Smith, PhD.
After the committee evaluates and ranks the
submissions, four proposals will be selected
to receive $5000 seed grants. We would like
to thank all the researchers who submitted
proposals for their efforts, hard work, and
interest in EP.
Suzanne Connolly and Caroline Sakai
conducted a study examining the efficacy of
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) in reducing
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder symptoms in
survivors of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. Participants were 171 adult survivors of the
1994 genocide in Rwanda between the ages
of 18 and 73, who volunteered to receive
brief treatment of trauma. The participants
were recruited by leaders of Women’s Foundation Ministries, and all participants were
members of various orphanages, AIDS, and
widows’ groups in the capital city of Kigali.
Testing and treatment were conducted in
their native language, Kinyarwanda.
The subjects were tested pre, post and
two years later using the MPSS (Modified
PTSD Symptom Scale) and the TSI (Traumatic Symptom Inventory). All subjects met
the DSM-4 A1 criteria for PTSD. Reduced
trauma symptoms were found on all scales
following TFT treatment; statistically significant reductions (p<.001) were found for nine
out of ten subscales on the TSI. (The specific
subscales of the TSI are measures of Anxious Arousal, Depression, Anger/Irritability,
Intrusive Experience, Defensive Avoidance,
Dissociation, Sexual Concern, Dysfunctional
Sexual Behavior, Impaired Self-Reference,
and Tension Reduction Behavior.) These
reductions in trauma symptoms were sustained at a 2-year follow-up assessment.
Their study entitled “Brief Trauma Intervention with Rwandan Genocide Survivors
Using Thought Field Therapy,” is being published this month in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Emergency Mental Health.
O
ne of the less-well known uses for EFT
and the new Energy Therapies is to
enhance sports performance. Tam and Mair
Llewellyn reported on a study involving
two Ladies’ Soccer Teams in Doncaster, the
UK. This study compared the use of a short
session of Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT) versus verbal feedback from a coach.
The study conducted both a randomised
controlled trial and a supporting uncontrolled trial, involving a total of 18 athletes.
It was designed to replicate the results of
an earlier American trial involving basketball players. The athletes place-kicked goal
shots, before and after EFT treatment. The
results showed a significant improvement in
12
goal scoring ability following one short EFT
session.
The authors conclude, “Clinical reports
and accounts from coaches and athletes
note that EFT is practiced in professional
and amateur level golf, baseball, American
football and soccer. This study indicates that
a very brief application of EFT, administered
in a very short time-scale can increase the
performance of high-performing athletes. The
use of EFT for stress reduction in sports warrants further empirical evaluation.”
In an update Dr. Llewellyn writes, “The
research took place some six months ago
at the start of the UK soccer season. Since
then we have continued to work with the
two teams (Open Ladies & Under 16 Girls)
using EFT to help as and when it was needed
in all aspects of the game and of the players’
psychological well being.
“As the season now draws to a conclusion
both teams have done exceptionally well. The
Open Ladies’ is currently top of their Division
and with three games to go is mathematically
certain to end the season in first or second
place. The Under 16 team (which did better
in the trial) has also done exceptionally well.
Although the season still has a little to go they
have already secured top place in their Division as no other team can now displace them
from their top place.
“The Under 16 team has won every match
to date and have already scored 147 goals the
season with only 9 scored against them. This is
a league record. Also their “striker” (the main
goal scoring position for non-soccer fans) has
personally scored 57 goals this season, which
is also a record. We will continue to support
these two teams and hope to expend our work
to two other teams for the next season…”

THE E NE R G Y F I EL D
A Physiological Basis for
Acupuncture???
Recent research by Dr. Morry Silberstein
of the Curtin University of Technology (Australia) may demonstrate a physiological
basis for acupuncture. Dr. Silberstein found
that the insertion of an acupuncture needle
into the skin disrupts the branching point of
nerves called C fibres. These C fibres transmit low-grade sensory information over very
long distances using Merkel cells (receptor
cells associated with the sense of touch) as
intermediaries.
“We have never really had a scientific
explanation for how acupuncture actually
works,” he said. “In the absence of a scientific
rationale, acupuncture has not been widely
used in the mainstream medical community.
If we can explain the process scientifically,
we can open it to full scientific scrutiny and
develop ways to use it as a part of medical
treatments.”
It has been known for years that acupuncture points show lower electrical resistance
than other nearby areas of the skin. His
research specifically pinpoints that the C
fibres branch exactly at acupuncture points.
Scientists don’t know exactly what role C
fibres play in the nervous system, but Dr.
Silberstein theorizes that “these bundles of
nerves exist to maintain arousal or wakefulness. The insertion of the acupuncture
needle may disrupt this circuit and numb our
sensitivity to pain.” This study, entitled “The
cutaneous intrinsic visceral afferent nervous
system: A new model for acupuncture analgesia,” appeared in the Journal of Theoretical
Biology, 261 (2009) 637–642. See also:

PTSD Treatment via
Home-Based Telehealth???
Technology is bringing health and mental
health service delivery full circle, with
house calls (virtual house calls!) on their
way to once again becoming the norm.
While patient convenience and cost savings
are two major driving forces, another factor
is the avoidance of social stigma, especially
for vets with PTSD. The VA is currently the
largest provider of telemedicine services in
the world, and it is using telemedicine technology to connect patients receiving care in
rural satellite clinics with larger VA medical
centers that offer specialty mental health
services. This treatment delivery medium
still requires patients to travel to officebased treatment sites. The VA and other
agencies are experimenting with Homebased telehealth (HBT) to circumvent these
problems.
Preliminary research suggests that HBT
is “associated with high patient satisfaction,
reduced frequency and duration of inpatient hospital stays, and overall symptom
improvement.” However, administrators
and clinical providers have been reluctant
to apply HBT service models to mental
health interventions, citing concerns that
HBT via video-conferencing may compromise therapeutic alliance, patient safety and
confidentiality.
Despite this skepticism, HBT for mental
health treatment appears to offer several
advantages over conventional, clinic-based
models. HBT circumvents stigma-related
avoidance of office-based mental health
care; second, HBT removes many logistical
barriers related to travel time and transportation; and third, HBT circumvents
system-level barriers (such as office space
constraints). The authors note that “we have
found that all procedures common to CBT
in general and PE (Prolonged Exposure) in
particular can be accomplished via HBT,
including homework review, audio recording of exposure scenes, completion of rating
scales, visual monitoring of patient distress
and facial signals, and the like.”
Dr. Peter Shore at the Portland, OR, VA
reports fewer than 1% missed sessions with
HBT compared to over 15% with traditional
clinic-based telemedicine. Reduced attrition is particularly important for those suffering from combat-related PTSD.
The authors consider the question of suicide risk with PTSD and vulnerable populations. “Our position is that HBT represents
an incremental increase in, rather than a
threat to, patient safety for two distinct
reasons. First, if a suicidal patient abruptly
leaves one’s facility or office, providers
have little idea where to send police or
13
Emergency Medical Services. By contrast,
HBT providers know exactly where to send
help if a suicidal patient cannot guarantee
self-safety…A second reason is that many
patients in extremely depressed or actively
suicidal states are less motivated to travel
to their mental health treatment center
for their appointment. These truly at-risk
patients often do not show up for their
office-based appointment…With HBT, the
effort required to connect to the therapist
standing by for their session is dramatically
reduced; indeed, ‘no-show’ patients are
simply called on the telephone and asked to
turn on their computer, and thus are more
likely to receive care…With HBT, we are
more likely to be in contact with suicidal
patients, we are more likely to be able to
intervene, and more likely to dispatch
resources to the necessary site while safely
maintaining contact with both the patient
and the emergency responders…”
The article concludes by noting, “Overall,
issues and problems confronting telehealth in
general and HBT in particular are relatively
easily resolved, as demonstrated by the aforementioned recent research in the area…We
predict expansion of the HBT model will
proceed at a tremendous pace, with services offered at the time and place patients
choose…”
