The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology

Call Directions Website

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.

What does the research say about energy psychology? 🔬

The evidence base continues to grow in both quantity and methodological rigor. According to ACEP’s October 2025 research summary:

📘 More than 400 studies, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and review articles have been published in professional, peer-reviewed journals.

📊 The literature includes more than 100 randomized controlled trials.

🧠 Five fMRI studies have documented neurological changes following energy psychology interventions.

📚 Thirteen meta-analyses have examined effectiveness related to depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Research has also explored outcomes involving pain, stress, trauma, food cravings, and athletic performance.

There is still more to learn, but the growing evidence base gives clinicians, researchers, and healing practitioners an increasingly strong foundation for informed conversation and responsible practice.

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”
—Jimmy Dean ⛵

We can’t always control what happens around us, but we can strengthen our ability to respond with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.

Energy psychology practices can help us notice stress activation, support self-regulation, and create enough space to choose our next step. Adjusting our sails doesn’t mean ignoring difficult emotions or circumstances. It means meeting them with tools that help us move forward. 💙

Take a moment today to ask yourself: What is one small adjustment I can make to better support where I want to go?

Setting an intention can be powerful—but intention alone doesn’t always lead to lasting change.

Competing habits, unclear strategies, and everyday demands can create a gap between what we want and what we actually do. In this ACEP blog, Lori Chortkoff Hops, PhD, DCEP, explores how greater clarity, a meaningful “why,” conscious action, and energy practices can help us move forward with more alignment.

The article offers practical suggestions for:

🌱 Identifying what you truly want
🌱 Connecting your intention to why it matters
🌱 Using energy practices to feel more centered and focused
🌱 Tracking your progress and adjusting along the way
🌱 Recognizing and celebrating small steps forward

Positive change isn’t simply about declaring an intention. It’s about supporting that intention with awareness, action, flexibility, and tools that help you stay connected to your purpose.

Feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected? The Soothing Butterfly Hug offers a gentle way to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your body. 🦋

Originated and developed by Lucina Artigas, this self-help technique combines alternating touch with slow, mindful breathing.

Try the streamlined three-step version:

1️⃣ Place your hands: Cross your hands over your chest and rest them on opposite upper arms.

2️⃣ Tap gently: Alternate taps from side to side, like the wings of a butterfly.

3️⃣ Breathe slowly: Continue breathing and notice what changes.

Move at a pace that feels comfortable, and stop if the practice causes discomfort.

A professional field grows through relationships, shared learning, and a willingness to welcome new voices. 🌊

In “The Ripple Effect: Building the ACEP Our Field Needs Next,” ACEP Executive Director Dawn Eidelman, PhD, reflects on the organization’s roots and the opportunity ahead: to widen the circle while remaining grounded in ethics, evidence, and responsible practice.

ACEP’s next chapter depends on creating stronger connections among clinicians, researchers, educators, healing practitioners, and other thoughtful professionals exploring how people heal, grow, and respond to stress and trauma.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
—Rumi 🌊

Energy psychology invites us to see ourselves as whole and interconnected. Our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, relationships, and energy systems do not exist in isolation. A shift in one area can create ripples throughout the whole.

Take a quiet moment today to breathe, notice what is present, and ask: What part of me needs care right now? 💙

There’s a special kind of relief in finding a professional community where you don’t have to explain why the work matters before the conversation can even begin.

Candice Rasa, LCSW, came to ACEP seeking like-minded professionals who shared her interest in energy psychology, along with the academic rigor and respect for evidence-based research she valued. She found colleagues who could explore the same questions with rigor, curiosity, and heart.

That is what a professional home can offer: people to learn from, people who challenge us, opportunities to collaborate, and a place where our individual work becomes part of a larger field. 🤝
