Book Description

February 15, 2000
Does your fear of flying make travel with friends and family impossible? Are you having trouble coping with the loss of a loved one or forgiving yourself for a mistake you made long ago? For the millions of people who suffer from phobias, anxieties, or distressing emotions such as anger, guilt, and grief, the breakthrough science of Thought Field Therapy--an easy-to-use practice often referred to as "acupressure for the emotions"--can make a remarkable difference. In this groundbreaking new book, psychologists Peter Lambrou and George Pratt, two pioneers in this emerging field, make their highly effective techniques available to everyone through simple step-by-step exercises that anyone can use to treat everyday emotional roadblocks with immediate and permanent results.

Thought Field Therapy is a revolutionary blend of Western psychotherapy and Chinese medicine that uses the body's meridian energy systems to treat emotional issues that can take years to unravel through traditional, talk-based therapy. A combination of breathing and relaxation exercises, affirmations, and tapping specific pressure points on the body, Thought Field Therapy can instantly eliminate problems such as a fear of flying, public speaking, addictive urges, or painful emotions such as embarrassment or regret.

Drs. Lambrou and Pratt, who practice at the prestigious Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California, have used these techniques on over six thousand patients with a 95 percent success rate, teaching their methods to business executives, professional athletes, and celebrities. Instant Emotional Healing explores the science behind Thought Field Therapy, and presents easy-to-follow exercises that will enable you to master the breathing techniques, focused-thought exercises, and tapping methods that can restore complete emotional balance, relaxation, and well-being in a matter of minutes. You will learn how to quickly remedy emotional problems such as rage, negativity, loneliness, and fear.

As the doctors show, Thought Field Therapy is revolutionizing the way we think about and handle our emotions. Instant Emotional Healing allows you to experience this amazingly simple, astonishingly effective practice for yourself--and open the door to a lifetime of emotional control and well-being.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Drawing on techniques ranging from focused thought to breathing and acupressure, Lambrou and Pratt guide readers through an Emotional Self-Management program, which they contend will dramatically accelerate the therapeutic process. Clinical psychologists who are experienced in hypnosis, Lambrou (coauthor with Brian Alman of Self-Hypnosis: The Complete Manual for Health and Self-Change) and Pratt (A Clinical Hypnosis Primer) have found that the healing of anxiety, phobias and other emotional traumas is often delayed because of energy blockages that can stem from polarity reversals in a person's electromagnetic field. According to the authors, relief from chronic symptoms, often instantaneous, can be achieved once these blockages are cleared. ESM includes identifying emotional states, breathing and tapping along pathways, or meridians (the same ones used in acupuncture), to release energy for healing. Stories of patients, including children and teenagers, who have found relief through ESM provide a glimpse into a variety of applications. Those familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, the chakra system or Carolyn Myss's work will likely find much of this material oversimplified, but for those who are new to energy medicine, this is a good introduction to techniques that can be self-administered without risk of physical harm.

From Library Journal

Lambrou and Pratt are clinical psychologists with solid credentials, and this book is a cumulation of their research into using Eastern energy theories to heal unhealthy emotions. Their procedures, called "emotional self-management" (ESM), work for virtually any emotional issue, including pain, heartache, anger, and phobias. ESM is totally portable and offers instant relief once one gets the hang of the procedures, which include a combination of acupressure, tapping on pressure points, eye movements, and positive internal statements. This is do-it-yourself therapy. The authors are quick to point out, however, that serious clinical depression and addictions need professional intervention. Wonderfully detailed with step-by-step instructions and pictures, this book can offer a good dose of help to just about anyone. The authors' instructions are uncomplicated, and their anecdotal evidence of success rates is very encouraging. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars ESM is amazing, March 22, 2000
This review is from: Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for the Emotions (Hardcover)
I have found this book to be exceedingly helpful for many daily problems such as stress, anxiety, and procrastination. It is hard to believe that the simple protocols given in the book can result in such quick and complete relief, but they do. I have a hard science background (biochemistry) and do not give much creedence to fads and new age cures. After reading and trying the methods presented in "Instant Emotional Healing", I wish that I had found out about this field long ago. I have tried some of the protocols on friends with the same result. The book is well written and presented. All of the techniques presented are well documented and contain easy to understand illustrations. The book also contains a complete bibliography with references to research on which the book is based, as well as a glossary and a list of resources. Another nice feature is that book owners can access the author's "members" webpage. I highly recomend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A breakthrough in the treatment of emotional distress!, April 5, 2000
By 
B. Towns (Southampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for the Emotions (Hardcover)
Hi,

LOVED the book! I am a practicing kinesiologist here in the UK and have done extensive research into energy healing (part of my practice), Jin Shin Jyutsu which combines kinesiology and energy healing, as well as hypnosis and many other alternative modalities.

This book however, combines a number of these into an easy-to-apply format for the immediate relief of emotional pain - BRILLIANT!

Very practical and down-to-earth, I am recommending it to many of my clients, as well as applying it wherever necessary. A most useful addition to my alternative therapy 'armoury'.

Many thanks!

Bryn Towns

5.0 out of 5 stars This REALLY WORKS!, February 15, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for the Emotions (Hardcover)
I'm not one to dash out and buy the latest gadget I see on an infomercial. Nor am I into pop psychology, I'm-ok-You're-ok mode of thinking. But I was at a point where I thought something like this book could help me. This book was featured on one of the daytime talk shows (can't remember which). The authors were interviewed, and various patients gave their testimonies. Although I was not fully convinced, I figured the book was worth a try.
The beginning part is like a pep talk--I skipped that and read about the methods employed to help yourself in certain stressful situations. This book is excellent and the methods used to heal specific emotional problems WORK! I was skeptical until I tried the exercises and felt the results. They are effective even on a short-term basis; even more so on a daily basis. I would give this book 10 stars if I could.
