Emotional Freedom: Techniques for Dealing with Physical and Emotional Distress

Garry A. Flint was educated at Indiana University and received a doctoral degree in experimental psychology specializing in learning (1968). For six years he worked with abused teens in Ukiah, California eventually becoming a staff psychologist at the county mental outpatient clinic. Here he continued to work with abused children and adults. It was at this time that he began to search for treatment techniques that worked faster than Behavior Modification. This included extensive training in hypnosis and Neurolinguistic Programming. Eventually, he became the program manager of a psychiatric health facility where he was able to work with severely disturbed persons. In private practice (1987 '--), he was further trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Thought Field Therapy, Tapas Acupressure Technique, and, later, Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Shortly before he moved to Canada, he found that the subconscious could treat emotional issues internally. The subconscious learned the treatment method. He developed a theory of the personality that explained mental issues as memory structures. It turned out that the subconscious could be an ally in problem-solving issues and as well as treating them. This permitted the direct and painless treatment of beliefs, emotions, painful history, and emotional or auditory intrusions.

Flint current resides in Vernon, British Columbia where he is a practicing clinical psychologist.

He has previously published three books entitled "Emotional Freedom: Techniques for dealing with emotional and physical distress," "A Theory and Treatment of Your Personality: A manual for change" and is a co-author of a third book with Jo C. Willems entitled "A Healing Legend: Wisdom From the Four Directions." His forth book in preparation will be entitled "Healing Your Mind and Soul: A view from the hidden reality."
