I think that alternative therapies can be great sometimes. I personally prefer them to conventional psychotherapy. Of course conventional psychotherapy has been a "god-send" for millions. But alternative therapies have been more helpful to me. I am currently interested in "meridian tapping". one example of meredian tapping is "EFT" ( emotional freedom technique). some people would say that when we tap on, and give new messages to, certain meredian points in the body, that we can more effeciantly deprogram and reprogram the default settings in our body / mind ( cell memory) . I like Dr Patricia Carrington's work on meridian tapping. But Gary Craig is the person who made it most famous as he made it available to many with his reasonably priced courses and DVDs. A man named Nick Ortner and his sister Jessica are passionate about making meridian tapping available to as many as possible people. No one modality is right for everyone. For many, conventional psychotherapy is exactly what is needed. I personally am a fan of tapping
