The Quantum Wellbeing Centre C.I.C. (QWC),
is a non-profit, asset locked, community
interest company set up to offer:
(1)
Evidence-based Complementary Therapies in
workshop environments
(2) To establish a UK National
EFT Research Platform;
it's focus being to co-ordinate UK evidence-based
trials using EFT for PTSD,
Depression, Addiction, Anxiety and Physical Pain.
This is supported by collaborating with the highly successful Iraq
Vets Stress Project in the U.S.A, (www.stressproject.org/)
under the direction of Dawson Church PhD,
Principal Investigator
Please note that while EFT Founder Gary Craig
(www.emofree.com)
encourages research, he cannot evaluate or endorse this EFT Research Programme and
we have agreed to
abide by his
'open hand policy'
(3) To list experienced Practitioners
Sponsorship and Public Donations are urgently
required, please consider helping this worthy cause
Every amount, no matter how small, is valued and will help those
in need to participate in our workshops for a low fee.
Although
the participants in this video are all USA soldiers, your
generous donation will enable us to carry
out similar programmes on our soldiers and
members of the public who have been
exposed to traumatic situations here in the
UK.
The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) comes
under the umbrella of Energy psychology
which is a scientifically validated body of
research and core set of treatment
techniques that conceptualises thoughts,
feelings, emotions and other psychological
phenomena as manifestations of energy
working though the system of the human body.
If some psychological phenomenon is causing
pain, distress, or a lack of function to an
individual, the somatic protocol of EFT
works to disrupt the flow of energy causing
that phenomenon. EFT is one of the more
common techniques in the Energy Psychology
repertoire and is also known as energy
tapping, a practice, similar to acupressure,
that involves manipulating and tapping
certain points along the body's energy
meridians to influence psychological events.
Research Funding For Complementary Therapies
Less than
one third of
one per cent of the funding available in the UK for medical
research goes to research into complementary therapies. With such a
small amount of money available for this research, it is very hard to establish
an evidence base for complementary therapies particularly as RCTs are extremely
expensive to conduct.
But when you consider that as many as one in five people in the UK have used a
complementary therapy, this low level of funding is clearly disproportionate.
Many people, especially those living with chronic conditions, will take the
reasonable view that since medical science does not have a simple fix (or in
many cases, any fix at all), they need to look elsewhere for solutions - or at
least for approaches that will improve their quality of life.
Where the efficacy of a
complementary therapy for a specific illness or condition can be demonstrated,
there's a much stronger chance that the therapy will become available on the NHS
– which means that people who currently can't afford complementary treatment
will have the same access to better health and wellbeing as those who can afford
to pay. Doctors speak the language of science and rightly demand proof that a
treatment is effective, but equally many acknowledge that it’s hard to measure
the effect of a feeling like hope on the
human body |
