Hi, Mike —
Java is doing fine by engaging in
traditional talk therapy and refusing energy
medicine.
The personal relationship is important
in therapy, so if you have found
a therapist with whom
you are able to talk about the issues
important to you, then that is a
good first step.
As long as the therapist is willing
to respect the limits Java has set,
and does not try to push some new-age philosophy, then it is reasonable
to continue. Obviously, Java cares
about pursuing her therapy according
to Christian principles; I think
she will be able to recognize any
mistaken ideas the therapist proposes.
As far as I can tell, EMDR doesn't
really fall into the category of energy healing: it's a psychological
technique that does not seem to be
based on some energy concept. There
is research showing it as effective,
although there is not yet a generally
accepted explanation of how it works.
EFT, on the other hand, does appear
to be based on unproven ideas of energy and it is even labeled as pseudoscience.
I would recommend avoiding that.
I hope this helps!
