Forgiveness isn’t always easy — and it isn’t about forgetting, excusing, or rushing past pain. But it can be a powerful act of personal wellbeing. 💛

In this thoughtful ACEP blog, Lori Chortkoff Hops, PhD, DCEP explores what forgiveness really means, why it’s often so challenging, and how intentionally releasing resentment can support emotional balance, healthier relationships, and improved overall wellbeing.

If you’re navigating your own journey with forgiveness — or helping clients through theirs — this reflective piece offers compassionate insights and practical steps for moving toward greater inner peace.

Feeling shaken by a stressful memory… or just carrying more emotional intensity than you’d like?
The Simple Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a gentle, evidence-informed way to help calm the nervous system, release emotional charge, and help you reconnect with yourself. It is an adaptation of the original Emotional Freedom Technique developed by Gary Craig.

This easy tapping process uses specific acupressure points to help shift stress, fear, overwhelm, and lingering emotional tension — anytime you need relief.

Here’s a quick overview of how Simple EFT works:

✨ 1. Bring to mind the upsetting memory or feeling
Just lightly connect with it — no need to relive it fully.

✨ 2. Rate your emotional intensity (0 = none, 10 = overwhelming)

✨ 3. Tap the karate chop points
Repeat the statement three times:
“Even though I have this ________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

✨ 4. Tap through the sequence of points
— Top of head
— Eyebrow
— Side of eye
— Under eye
— Under nose
— Chin
— Under collarbone
— Under arm
— Side of ribs

Tap each point gently 7–10 times while holding your feeling or memory in mind.

✨ 5. Recheck your emotional intensity
If there’s still charge, repeat another round. With each cycle, the intensity usually decreases — helping you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded.

The carousel gives you the basics, but you can follow the full guided steps at the link below.

“Mindfulness is loving all the details of our lives… life begins to open up, and you realize that you’re always standing at the center of the world.”
— Pema Chödrön

This reminder beautifully echoes the heart of energy psychology: when we bring gentle awareness to our inner world — our emotions, patterns, and nervous system responses — we create space for clarity, regulation, and deeper self-connection.

Mindfulness and energy psychology complement each other, helping us move through stress, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters most.

If you’re looking for tools, training, or community to support this work, ACEP is here for you.
