A case study of integrative psychospiritual techniques in addressing adolescent emotional distress and self-harming behavior with: Subconscious Energy Healing Therapy (SEHT)

This case study examines the effectiveness of Subconscious Energy Healing Therapy (SEHT) in treating a 20-year-old female presenting with depressive symptoms, self-harming behaviour, and low self-esteem. SEHT, integrating Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) with psychospiritual principles, was employed to address her emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms. The patient, "Miss K," exhibited significant emotional and behavioural challenges rooted in childhood bullying, family dynamics, and self-doubt. Through a structured approach, SEHT facilitated mindfulness, emotional release, and self-empowerment. A 2-step stress management framework emphasized awareness of stress responses and release through self-suggestions and tapping. Therapy outcomes included reduced self-harming behaviour, enhanced self-esteem, and improved academic focus. By incorporating personalized affirmations and spiritual elements, Miss K cultivated resilience, utilizing gratitude and Divine connection as healing tools. After five sessions, she demonstrated measurable improvement, including better academic performance and emotional stability. SEHT's holistic approach underscores the potential of integrating psychological and spiritual modalities to address complex mental health challenges. This case highlights SEHT's application as an adjunctive therapy for managing adolescent emotional distress.
