Neuro Emotional Technique

Your health is more than the physical part of "you".

Mental and emotional stress are big parts of your health. When going through significant changes in life, these stresses significantly impact our health. Even the things we experienced earlier in life can have a lasting effect on how we feel AND how we heal.

We internalize what happens around us.

Hardships and stressors affect our emotions and even the chemical and physical makeup of our body on a daily basis. Research has shown that while the primary locations for the physiology of emotions are in the brain, spine, nervous system and acupuncture meridians, emotions do in fact affect all parts of the body. But what happens when negative emotions linger, and when our bodies don’t return to a balanced state after the initial stress reaction? Periods of prolonged emotional stress can result in neuro-emotional complexes (NECs), which tend to manifest in physical ailments such as headaches, body pain, phobias, anxiety, organ dysfunction and much more. A primary goal of NET is to identify and resolve NECs either via the associated spinal vertebrae or acupuncture meridian.

What is NET?

Drawing from traditional Chinese medicine, chiropractic and applied kinesiology, NET is a mind-body stress reduction method that helps treat behavioral and physical conditions by focusing on negative emotional blocks.

The goal is to identify the cause of the negative physiological reactions to events and help the patient release it and move on.

NET is recognized as a safe, gentle and effective treatment for people of different ages and diversities.

The essence of NET is that unresolved stress and emotional imbalances are often dominant factors in chronic or recurring conditions. Many emotions such as fear, anger, grief, etc., can become repetitive stress patterns repeating within the body long after the original event. If these emotional stress responses are left untreated the resultant physical disorders can become chronic. NET uses muscle testing, body reflex points and physiological reactions to help pinpoint the specific causes of negative emotions and when they first occurred.

Although the concept of dealing with emotions and stress has long been associated with psychotherapy, counseling, and other therapies, NET specifically works with the ‘physiology’ of emotional/stress responses. Extensive scientific research over the past several decades has verified that an emotional/stress expression is a complex reactive pattern of changes in response to a stressor. This includes changes in brain chemistry, blood flow, and muscle tone. The type and intensity of the reaction may occur in response to a specific person or event and may involve widespread physiological changes, such as increased heart rate, decreased immune response and poor digestion.

NET can be immensely helpful for adults, children and infants in addressing many issues including: anxiety, stress, sleep issues, allergies, past traumas, relationships, self-esteem, fear/phobias, bed wetting and birth trauma. Everyone’s life stressors are different, so every NET session is a personal process.
