In a pivotal moment for the field, Dr. David Feinstein, a leading authority in energy psychology, has published a landmark paper that seeks to bridge the gap between ancient healing methods and modern neuroscience. His work, “Physiological Mechanisms of Energy Psychology Treatments: An Updated Synthesis,” offers compelling scientific insights into why and how tapping works — and why it deserves a place...

On the surface, licensing might seem reasonable—a way to ensure quality and safety. But these proposals would impose heavy burdens on a wide...
