This technique involves balancing the body's energy system through tapping on accupoints in the body, to alleviate emotional and physical problems. It is thought to effect the mechanics of the amydyla, the part of the brain which deals with fear and pain. It is especially effective when dealing with phobias, anxiety and problematic memories, visions and thoughts. Because the technique itself is very simple people sometimes underestimate it's effectiveness, however our therapists are trained to "chase the problem" and deal with the many aspects of the problem rather than simply dealing with the presenting issue. It is this skill that makes this difference to the success of the therapy. Epsycholgy can work very quickly on simple phobias and probems is therefore sometimes the first technique we will use. However, if a problem is more complex, it will take time to work through all the aspects and psychological reversal (the inner conflicts) that are part of the overall problem. We use Epsychology alongside our other therapies because sometimes it is more effective than other tools for certain kinds of problems, however studies have found it to be less effective at other times meaning that we have a variety of techniques we use according to the depth and type of problem we are working with.
