Psychology in General; Thought Field Therapy in Particular: An Introduction
Presented by Sheila S. Bender, PhD
Dr. Bender is a NJ licensed psychologist and retired faculty member from Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (legacy UMDNJ). She was trained in hypnosis in 1974, and in EMDR in 1994. She was subsequently trained in Thought Field Therapy (TFT) in 1995 by Dr. Roger Callahan. She is co-author of two books: Evolving Thought Field Therapy: A Clinician’s Handbook; and The Energy of Belief: Psychology’s Power Tools to Focus Intention and Release Blocking Belief. Dr. Bender maintains a private practice in Morristown, NJ.
Attunement, Attachment, Transference and Compassion all may be ultimately understood in terms of human energy systems. In this talk, Dr. Bender will explain how a tool within the energy world, Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and its analog, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), fits into the psychotherapy toolkit.
Learning Objectives: 1. Define energy psychology
