This study investigated the effectiveness of two modified Primordial Energy Activation and Transcendence (PEAT) protocols in reducing communication apprehension. Fifty-one participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: PEAT with acupressure, PEAT without acupressure, or a no-treatment control group. Results showed no significant differences in communication apprehension scores or subjective experiences between groups. However, qualitative feedback suggested that participants perceived the PEAT technique as beneficial. Further research is needed to determine the efficacy of PEAT for communication apprehension.

Primordial Energy Activation and Transcendence (PEAT) is one of the newer energy psychology protocols. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a PEAT protocol on individuals experiencing communication anxiety and compare results with existing protocols such as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Thought Field Therapy (TFT).
