** Blast From The Past: Origins & Current Trends in Energy Psychology in the UK & USA by Phil Mollon

Ed Grimshaw, NLP Trainer & Author of The Perfect Fit, Writes: "In working with clients and seeing people with a variety of issues, one thing that has changed in recent years is treating the client’s presenting problem as real. This was pioneered in the 70s by Virginia Satir (Family Therapist) then by Richard Bandler (NLP originator). They treated the literal meaning of what was said by the client as a true statement of affairs. Of course going back before then and even now with some of the current medical thinking, “the pull yourself together school of thinking” does not get anywhere, its destructive and simply invalidates the poor sufferer."

Nicola Quinn writes: "A lady phoned me last week desperate to know how to make the Dr. Claire Weekes’ method of overcoming panic attacks work. She was just too scared to try it out even though she knew in her heart, from what she had read, that if she could follow it through there was a very good chance she would be free from panic attacks forever."

In this article by AMT Director and author of Life Without Panic Attacks author Nicola Quinn explains how Dr Claire Weekes' methods can be used with EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Gary Craig, founder and creator of EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques, has just announced his impending retirement. This sad news comes after much consideration by Gary, but due to the stress of running a huge organisation, coupled with health issues, it was deemed a necessary step. Gary will be retiring on the 15th January 2010.

 Founded in 1998, TheAMT is the oldest and most respected certifying body of EFT courses and will be continuing to teach Gary Craig's good work well into the future. Together we can carry on teaching EFT to the world.

Author of 'Adventures in EFT' Dr Silvia Hartmann's reaction to the news can be found on her EFT site.

“If you are blaming the recession for a lack of clients, you are putting your attention in the wrong place. The reason you don’t have enough clients is nothing to do with the recession. It’s to do with your ignorance”

Why tap the top of the head in EFT? Here is a repost from 2002, in which Ananga Sivyer explains why she uses the top of the head or crown point in her EFT treatment protocols, with background information on the meridians involved.

"Modern energy psychology has the concept of an energy reversal. We talk about "being reversed" on a topic; and this comes from the intriguing observation made by kinesiologists that when a person says and thinks, "Yes!" their muscles are stronger than when they say and think, "NO!" Dr Silvia Hartmann discusses how we can use our power to say "Yes!" or "No!" to prevent self sabotage, psychomatic illness and damage to our self esteem and future aspirations.

EmoTrance, EFT and other therapies are well known for their abilities of helping people deal with negative emotions, but many people are sceptical of their ability to help relieve physical pain.

New research carried out in Canada has shown a direct link between emotional well being and psychical pain.

A recent YouGov survey of British 18 – 24 year olds has found that 66% feel stressed or anxious on a weekly basis, with money & job concerns being the main factor. The report has found that not only are they stressed, but a third of them do not talk to any one about these problems.

--Update-- Brand new research carried out in the UK has shown a direct link between depression, anxiety & stress and obesity.

How is Events Psychology different from Energy Psychology? What advantages does Events Psychology confer to a practitioner of Energy Psychology? Are the principles of Events Psychology proven, tried and tested? What impact is Events Psychology going to have on Energy Psychology? These and other questions are answered by Dr Silvia Hartmann, the Creator of EmoTrance and Project Sanctuary, on the eve of the launch of "Events Psychology".

* Two FREE special reports are available: Events Psychology & EFT, and Events Psychology Case Samples. See details at the end of this article.

In this client session, Sasha Allenby, co-author of the upcoming Matrix Reimprinting book available in October 2009, shows how to access and resolve a Preconscious Memory with Matrix Reimprinting in which her client had created the negative core belief that ‘people weren’t safe.’

International EmoTrance Trainer Sandra Hillawi Writes: "Lets talk about our Emotions, Emotional Fitness and Emotional Fitness Training!  

Our emotions arise as our response to life, as we process the energies of life within our human spirit. The human spirit is an energy system. We cant see this energy system but we can feel it ...as the feelings in our body accompanying our emotions indicating to us how we are handling the energies of life."

Welcome to the July edition of The AMT Newsletter. This month we discover how using EFT can help improve mental strength and affirmations, we also find out the dates for the 2010 EmoTrance Conference!

**News: The 2010 EmoTrance Conference – Dates & Venue Announced!

Mary Jones, an AMT practitioner and trainer, recently became one of the first UK people to be EFT Certified under Gary Craig’s new certification program. Here, she tells the AMT about her experience and reflects on what the new program now means for the AMT’s own practitioner training program.

If you intend to get to a destination and you decide to go by train, would you turn up at the station and tell the ticket officer that you don’t want to go to Manchester, you don’t like Grimsby and you are unsure whether to go to Birmingham? The attendant would expect you to know where you want to go and what time you need to get there.

Why should affirmations be any different?

Members of The AMT (Association for Meridian & Energy Therapies) in the UK have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of clients attending therapy sessions because of anxiety, stress and in more severe cases, Panic Attacks. This has been directly related to the Credit Crunch and personal money worries.

Kim Bradley writes: I was asked to talk to a group of stroke patients at West Middlesex Hospital, Isleworth, by Ahlam Wynne who has recently been awarded The Stroke Association’s Life after Stroke Excellence Award. The talk was initially about the benefits of massage for the recovery of a stroke but in talking to Margaret and Stan (two recovering Stroke patients) it became clear that how they are FEELING was their biggest concern.

Carna Zacharias-Miller Writes: Here is a technique I developed that combines the clearing work of EFT with the PS Classic Game and the Genius Symbols. “Magical EFT” is not for everybody: Usually, EFT trauma work needs to be done before entering into this realm. However, I have noticed that EFT works faster (less rounds) and often in a gentler, more “tearless” way when done in this metaphorical framework...

Exploring Different Worlds If you decided to tour the world, would you want to know which country you were in? I guess that you would – but why? Why not treat each place and each person as you find them? Well, it would be easier to navigate and communicate if you knew where you were! And at the same time you would still recognise that each person that you meet is an individual and not a stereotype. The same applies to the Enneagram personality system, which informs us that there are nine fundamental personality styles, which you might think of as “psychological nationalities”. If you work with people, it is extremely helpful to be able to recognise their personality style, just as a traveler you might find it helpful to know if you were communicating with an Italian or a Nigerian. By understanding “where a person is coming from” you will be far more effective in whatever capacity you work with them. By knowing your own Enneagram style, you open the door to profound personal development.

We are all familiar with the standard Set-Up Phrase, “Even though I have this __________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” It is an all-occasion, one-size-fits-all magic formula that names and counters objections, antidotes Psychological Reversal, and ‘sets the stage’ for EFT to work. And, amazingly enough, it does work ---- most of the time...

Sandi Radomski, ND, LCSW, DEP, and Tom Altaffer, LCSW, are finding ways of bringing energy therapies and especially their new technique called Ask & Receive to intervene in the causal cascade that is autism. Finding and healing allergies, resolving toxic exposure, changing and retraining neurology, resolving trauma and encouraging ego development are creating happier and more functional futures for many children with autism. Because of their power, ease of use, and flexibility, energy therapies are vital to bringing healing to this needed population.

Helen Mc crarren Writes:Jane came to see me after she had failed her driving test 11 times She is forty years old and lives in the countryside with her two sisters, both of whom cannot drive. Her father had died 6 months earlier and now she had no qualified driver to go out on the road with her. This was having a serious impact on her daily life.

To find out if Helen's client managed to pass on the 12th attempt, with the help of EFT, then please read on!

Nicola Quinn Writes:The recent trend to drop the finger points, not helped by an article in which Gary Craig says he rarely uses them now, is deeply saddening and a big mistake in my view.

Here is why.

Phil Mollon writes: Over twenty years ago, working in a psychiatric setting, I began to encounter one or two patients suffering with a Dissociative Identity Disorder [DID]. This is a condition, usually resulting from severe and repeated childhood trauma, in which the normally integrated and communicative processes and parts of the psyche have become dissociated. Different personality states and behaviours may appear at different times, sometimes with separate distinct identities and names. The different parts may express quite different attitudes, beliefs, mannerisms – and basically appear like different people inhabiting the same body. Work with such people can seem like family or group therapy but with just one physical body.
