Healing From The Body Level Up • January 2, 2024

At the May 2015 17th Annual International Energy Psychology Conference the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) honored Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. by awarding her the “Contribution to the Field Award” for her major contribution to the field of Energy Psychology.


Dr. Swack was nominated for this award by other notable leaders in the field including, Barbara Stone, Ph.D., author, teacher and developer of the Soul Detective work, Gloria Arenson, past President and member of the Board of ACEP, and Sharon Cass-Toole, PhD, CCA, RP, DCEP, President and Executive Director of the Canadian Association for Integrative and Energy Therapies (CAIET).


Judith Receiving Award Cropped 1In introducing the award, Dr. Phil Mollon, head of the ACEP Ethics committee said, “The recipient of this award represents a very important frequency within the ACEP spectrum. She is a real scientist – she has a PhD in biochemistry – and numerous publications in peer reviewed scientific journals. Her work addresses the embodied soul – working with the body, mind, spirit, and relationships, to facilitate the soul’s mission – and to identify and remove the interferences with this.


Naturally psychic, she displays courage in being willing to explore realms that might frighten others – engaging her enquiries always with the attitude of a true scientist. Over many years she has developed one of the major and most original approaches with the Energy Psychology family – sometimes copied (not always giving her credit). Refreshingly forthright, she can at times be gloriously honest. Her work is called Healing from the Body Level Up – and she is, of course, my good friend Judith Swack!”


In accepting the award, Judith said, “I have spent many years in my office/lab with my clients and colleagues developing HBLU. It is now a robust and extensive body of work, and I’m focused on making it readily available to all mental health and healing professionals. I have realized that it takes an organization to get that kind of reach. ACEP is my organization and I’m happy and honored to be a part of it.”

As a scientist I appreciated the NLP concept that all damage has structure, and that specific damage patterns can be cleared using reproducible protocols.

Many immediately jump to, ‘I'm impotent,’ or ‘I'll be rejected.’ That emotional imprint can create anticipatory anxiety that follows them into every future sexual encounter.” The result is a cycle in which anxiety itself becomes a contributing factor to ongoing performance issues. “Sex becomes tinged with anxiety,” she explains. “The fear of it happening again can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” She emphasizes that ED is rarely a one-size-fits-all condition. “For some men, there may be emotional conflicts, relationship concerns, unresolved trauma, hormonal issues, or physical injuries contributing to the problem,” she says “If you don't address the root cause and the original diagnosis shock, you're often only managing symptoms.” The same trauma response, she says, frequently appears in patients diagnosed with any type of serious illness.
