In "The Energy of Belief," Bender and Sise offer their own approach to energy psychology. They provide coverage on how to apply efficient techniques and protocols to uncover and resolve limiting beliefs and distressing emotional states. This book teaches how to use TAB (Touch and Breathe), a gentle mind-body technique where you think about an issue while taking a deep breath and touching key locations on your body. Similar to Energy Tapping, this technique helps to neutralize distress. The chief focus, as the title indicates, is on beliefs. And the authors cover beliefs in considerable detail. The protocols covered are simplified with useful diagrams so that anyone can apply them. This book will be of value for both self-help and to professional therapists. To some degree, this is a self-help version of an earlier professional book by Diepold, Bender, and Britt: Evolving Thought Field Therapy. I highly recommend it!

The Energy of Belief is that rare combination of profoundly important ideas imbedded in a clear step-by-step self-help modality. Sheila Sidney Bender and Mary T. Sise have combined their considerable expertise as psychotherapists and pioneers in the emerging field of energy psychology to create this gem of a book. They have provided well reasoned theoretical explanations with extremely effective strategies for helping readers to examine and change their self-defeating beliefs and behaviors. Using the innovative Touch and Breathe (TAB) technique originated by the BDB Group, Bender and Sise gently guide readers through a personal journey of discovery and healing as they explain exciting new strategies for dealing with difficult personal issues. Of particular importance is their teaching how to access the mind/body/energy connection using self muscle testing. This, combined with a basic understanding of the acupuncture meridian system and some basic tenets of clinical psychology, has the potential to empower the reader in ways that have not been made available to the general public in such a lucid and concise format. The well conceived illustrations are invaluable in helping readers achieve the goals of gently and mindfully addressing painful areas of their lives. I highly recommend this wonderful new book to both the clinical and general public.

I was hoping that this book would deliver on its hype but was quite disappointed. "Breakthrough book" it is definitely NOT, and all the hype just leads the reader astray.
This book is just a variation on Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which he adapted from Callahan's Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and both of which are borrowed from ancient qigong techniques for tapping or stimulating acupuncture points. There is nothing very new or dramatically different about this system, which leans very heavily towards TFT. Given the outrageous sums of money required for some levels of TFT, I am not a fan of Callahan.
If you know absolutely nothing about energy therapies or qigong, you might benefit from this, but I have found EFT to be far easier to learn and practice. I see no real need for this book, and would recommend checking out EFT first, as there is much information available for free on the EFT web site.
Not recommended.
