How they work is a mystery. But the mind-body tools collectively categorized as “Energy Psychology” are truly remarkable. First introduced in the 1980s, they’ve gained adherents around the world because these techniques can help people change their thoughts and feelings with stunning speed.

Troubling emotions, undesirable thought-patterns and behaviors can very often be alleviated in minutes. And the benefits of these tools are generally long-lasting.

To use Energy Psychology tools, you normally focus your mind on the feeling or thought you are trying to change, while holding or tapping particular points on your body. In moments, you’ll notice the feeling has become less intense and you continue the process until you can no longer bring up the feeling or thought you were trying to eliminate.

To make the most of these tools to improve test performance, you’ll want to be thorough and address all aspects of your test-related anxiety. Mark Bottinick, LCSW-C has expertise in helping people first uncover – and then release – unhelpful feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.

Many are skeptical when they hear about Energy Psychology tools. How can this work so well, so quickly? Some scientists and doctors believe biochemical processes are at work. Others look to the theories that underpin eastern medicine such as acupuncture to explain Energy Psychology.

Fortunately, Energy Psychology works for skeptics who are willing to try out the techniques. The tools do not rely on any kind of belief system. And since the techniques work quickly and dramatically, it’s not easy to remain skeptical.

“I will always be grateful to Mark Bottinick, LCSW-C, for teaching me the techniques of Energy Psychology. I have proven to myself again and again that if I apply the simple methods, amazing healing can occur at a tremendous pace. Before I used Energy Psychology in my private practice, it was as if I was trying to cut through problems with a stone knife, while now I can use a space-age cutting tool. I save patients both time and money, and personal suffering by using Energy Psychology as a complementary part of my psychiatric practice.”
