Addressing Christian Concerns About EFT and Energy Psychology Therapies

By Dr. Larry Nims of http://www.besetfreefast.com/

Many Christians are, understandably, concerned about innovative counseling methods such as EFT or Instant BE SET FREE FAST (BSFF), and other more traditional approaches like various types of hypnosis, psychotherapy, and a variety of healing methods.

Some are concerned that virtually any kind of psychological counseling is un-Christian, demonic, occult, New Age, humanistic, etc. Of course, these approaches are clearly not of God. They are man-centered and/or Satan-centered.

I am writing to help concerned Christians put this in Biblical perspective, and to reassure you that there is nothing inherently unchristian about any energy psychology method.

The term "psychology" comes from the Greek words "psyche" (soul) and "logos" (the study of). Thus, psychology means "the study of the soul."

Like so many of the discoveries in science, medicine, physics, education, etc., anything can be used for good or for evil. A mature Christian will be committed to using any method only for good, and do so under God's direction and empowerment.

I am an ordained Christian Minister since 1988 and a licensed Clinical Psychologist with 30 years professional experience in Psychology. I am born again and totally committed to following God in my profession.

Is EFT Part of an Eastern Religion?

I had talked to a Messianic Rabbi via internet who felt tapping is part of eastern religion, possibly Chinese.  Anyway, he said this should be avoided for it would open doors to the enemy. Do you know where the roots of tapping began?

My own feeling is that the roots of tapping and EFT go back to earliest human existence. All of us naturally use our hands to self-soothe our pain. If we have a headache, we often hold and rub our head in places that correspond to the tapping points. When we are straining with a difficult problem, we often rub our chin. When we have a shock, we often instinctly reach for the area at the base of the throat as we gasp.

It appears to me that these are natural actions. They are instinctive and can be seen in children and across all cultures. What EFT has done is take these points and made the approach more systematic.
