Emotional Release Technique
What Is It?
Emotional Release Technique (ERT) is a non-invasive, holistic approach to psychotherapy that addresses the body's energy to resolve emotional issues. ERT works by clearing the subtle energy pathways of the body. The uninterrupted flow of these subtle energies is the basis of health in major Eastern Medical Traditions. In both Chinese Medicine (acupuncture) and Indian Medicine (Ayurveda), it is interruptions and distortions of the flow of this dynamic, subtle energy, in and around, the body that is the ultimate source of illness. When this flow is corrected, the body can heal itself, often dramatically.
In the 1950s, Roger Callahan, PhD, discovered that tapping certain points along these energy pathways, while holding a very distressing event or thought in mind, caused the emotional distress to release and fall away, immediately and permanently. This was, and continues to be, a huge paradigm shift from traditional talk therapy! In our practice we have adapted the original protocols which have proven to work quickly and easily for a wide variety of issues. Using our adaptations we have created a very simple program for quick, dramatic relief of any emotional trauma and/or general stress.
Our clinical experience has been that clients respond immediately and ERT provides lasting relief, even in cases of long term disabilities resulting from sexual, physical or psychological abuse. These results have been achieved in as little as one session; without the use of drugs and no side effects. It is completely safe and effective. Our biggest obstacle has been that people can't believe something so easy, so quick and so simple can generate such profound results.
ERT is available through individual consultation or workshop. One of the outstanding benefits of ERT is that very little disclosure about the problem is required, unlike traditional talk therapies. There is no wrenching re-telling and re-enacting the events over and over. Just bring it to mind, tap it out and DONE.
