This is what happens when you stop focusing only on the protocol and start following what is unfolding in the moment.

In this FREE masterclass, Alfred Heath, MA, LPC, co-developer of Be Set Free Fast™ (BSFF) 3.0, explores 5 essential skills that can deepen the way you facilitate Energy Psychology sessions.

Presence. Attunement. Observation. Curiosity. Elicitation.

But this isn’t just about learning the five skills.

You’ll watch Alfred put them into practice during a real-time demonstration with a volunteer—following subtle cues as the session moves from physical pain after a recent car accident into an unexpected experience connected to an accident from 20 years earlier.

See what can become possible when we listen, observe, stay curious, and allow the client’s experience to help guide the work.

Is depression simply caused by low serotonin? Emerging research suggests the answer is far more complex. 🧠

For decades, the “chemical imbalance” explanation shaped how many people understood depression. However, a comprehensive review found little consistent evidence that low serotonin alone causes the condition.

Depression can involve a complex combination of psychological, social, environmental, biological, and lifestyle factors. Recognizing that complexity may help create space for more holistic, individualized approaches to care.

This does not mean antidepressants are ineffective or that anyone should change their medication without professional guidance. Treatment decisions should always be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.

Which affirmation do you need today? 🌿

Affirmations can become more meaningful when we pause, breathe, and notice how the words land in the body. Choose one statement from the image and repeat it slowly. You might also pair it with tapping or another calming energy practice.

If the affirmation feels difficult to believe, approach it with curiosity rather than judgment. Simply notice the thoughts, emotions, or sensations that arise.

Save this post so you can return to these affirmations throughout the week, and tell us which one resonates with you today!

Do we move in and out of trance more often than we realize?

Trance does not always resemble the dramatic, sleep-like state portrayed in movies. From an Ericksonian perspective, it can be understood more broadly as a shift from our usual patterns of attention and awareness into a different flow of information and experience.

In this ACEP blog, Robert Schwarz, PsyD, DCEP, explores:

• How trance may change familiar patterns of thought and attention
• The relationship among trance, energy flow, and psychotherapy
• Whether tapping, TAT, and other energy psychology practices may help create altered states
• How focused attention and the therapeutic relationship can open possibilities for new patterns

The article offers an exploratory look at where energy psychology, hypnosis, interpersonal neurobiology, and traditional energy concepts may intersect.

Not all trauma looks the same, and understanding the differences can help inform more responsive, trauma-informed care.

Trauma may be described as:

• Acute, resulting from a single distressing event
• Chronic, resulting from repeated or prolonged experiences
• Complex, often involving multiple, ongoing experiences that can affect development and relationships

Although people respond differently, trauma may influence emotional, physical, cognitive, relational, and spiritual wellbeing.

This ACEP blog examines the different types and effects of trauma while exploring how energy psychology approaches, including EFT, TFT, AIT, and Holographic Memory Resolution, may be incorporated into trauma-focused work.

“With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and support we’d give to a good friend.”
— Kristin Neff, PhD

Many of us instinctively offer patience and understanding to others while responding to our own struggles with criticism. Self-compassion invites us to pause, notice what we’re experiencing, and meet ourselves with that same care.

Energy psychology practices can support this process by helping us calm emotional distress, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with a greater sense of balance.

Today, consider asking yourself: What would I say to a good friend who was feeling this way?
