Research

Church founded Soul Medicine Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to research, education and therapies that link consciousness with healing. Soul Medicine Institute has several programs. They include the Iraq Vets Stress Project, which connects veterans seeking energy psychology treatments with an international network of therapists and coaches who provide free help. Soul Medicine Institute also publishes the peer-reviewed journal Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, Practice, Training (not PubMed indexed^[4]). Through its research program, the Foundation for Epigenetic Medicine, it has funded or conducted several studies. They include an observational study of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) for war veterans with PTSD which has found significant results, with veterans scoring PTSD-negative after six sessions of treatment.^[5]
