Thinkalot Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Just wondering if anyone has tried this, or heard of it? It is an emotional healing therapy developed by Roger Callahan, an American clinical research psychologist. It looks at using merdians, or energy pathways, to treat emtional problems, and help eliminate anxiety, fears, obsessions, phobias etc It involves tapping on certain points on the body, while doing other exercises, such as breathing etc, along with other things. I am about to start trying it, as a lady I know through my meditation etc, has begun teaching it. I am hoping it will further help reduce my obsessions and anxiety.
johan Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Never heard of it. Sounds kind of quackish, to be honest.
whichwayisup Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Wow, that sounds really cool. I have never heard of it. When you go, make sure to post about it, I'd love to know more!! I do Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (no meds though) for my anxiety disorder. Has helped me so much. But learning other ways to better yourself always catches my eye! Good luck!!
johan Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 If it works, I'd like to hear about it though. Sounds interesting.
moimeme Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Sounds like a variation on EMDR. These folks would do better, IMHO, if they didn't propagate pseudo-theories. It may well be there are such meridians, etc. but they'd sound less quackish if they'd stick to the facts.
Author Thinkalot Posted October 3, 2004 Author Posted October 3, 2004 LOL! I was having lunch with this lady the other day, and she took me through a few exercises. If nothing else, it made me feel very relaxed and sleepy!! That in itself is a good thing for me, considering I usually find it very hard to slow down and relax. She also does many other things, such as counselling, and talking to her was also theraputic.... so I reckon...I'm going to see her a bit more...
johan Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Any therapy that makes you feel relaxed and sleepy can't be all bad. Now I'm thinking I might look it up. I need a nap.
