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.

🌿 ICYMI: What if the struggle to stay sober isn’t about willpower at all?

Recovery can feel like an internal tug-of-war—part of you moving toward healing, while other learned patterns pull you back toward familiar coping strategies. Understanding those forces can be a powerful first step toward change.

In this ACEP Blog article, author Mark Bottinick, LCSW-C, explores how energy psychology approaches may help address the emotional patterns, conditioned responses, and internal resistance that can make sobriety feel like an uphill battle.

Whether you're a practitioner supporting clients in recovery or someone interested in mind-body approaches to healing, this thoughtful article offers valuable insights into addiction, resilience, and transformation.

What makes energy psychology different?

Energy psychology integrates mind, body, and emotions to support healing, resilience, and personal growth. By incorporating body-based approaches, these methods can help clients regulate their emotional responses, process difficult experiences, and develop practical skills they can use long after a session ends.

Energy psychology approaches are flexible, adaptable, and used with a wide range of populations, including adults, children, families, and groups. They can also be integrated with many established frameworks, including trauma-informed care, interpersonal neurobiology, and polyvagal-informed approaches.

Perhaps most importantly, energy psychology equips clients with simple, accessible tools that support self-regulation and empower them to participate actively in their own healing process.

“Energy psychology invites us to explore the interplay of emotions and energy within our bodies, unlocking the potential for transformation.” ~ Dawson Church

Every thought, emotion, and experience affects us on multiple levels. Energy psychology offers practical, evidence-informed approaches that help people work with stress, emotional challenges, and patterns that may be holding them back—supporting greater resilience, balance, and well-being.

When we learn to tune in to both our emotional experiences and the body's energetic responses, meaningful shifts can occur.

What if awe isn’t just a fleeting feeling—but a pathway to healing, connection, and resilience? ✨

In this ACEP blog, Lori Chortkoff Hops, PhD, DCEP, explores the science and experience of awe — from nature, music, and creativity to community, spirituality, and moments of deep human connection.

Research suggests that awe can help reduce stress, broaden perspective, support emotional wellbeing, and even shift how we relate to ourselves and others. Through the lens of energy psychology, awe can also help us reconnect with presence, openness, and the larger rhythms of life.

✨ In this blog, you’ll discover:
• How awe impacts the nervous system and stress response
• Why moments of wonder can increase connection and creativity
• Practical ways to cultivate awe in everyday life
• The relationship between awe, gratitude, mindfulness, and healing
• How community and shared experiences amplify wellbeing

Sometimes healing begins with simply slowing down enough to notice the beauty, mystery, and meaning already around us.

Mental and spiritual wellbeing are often strengthened through small, consistent practices that help us reconnect with ourselves and others. 💙✨

Simple habits like practicing gratitude, nurturing relationships, engaging in meaningful experiences, and offering kindness can positively support emotional resilience and overall wellbeing.

Energy psychology adds another layer to self-care by offering body-based techniques that help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and support greater balance between mind, body, and spirit. Practices such as tapping, grounding, breathwork, and mindfulness can become powerful tools for daily regulation and restoration.

No matter where you are on your journey, small intentional actions can create meaningful shifts over time.
