What is NET?
NET is a therapeutic modality that focuses on the connection between the nervous system and emotional responses. It is designed to identify and help release unresolved emotional stress that can manifest in physical and behavioral symptoms. NET combines principles from chiropractic, traditional Chinese medicine, and psychology.
How Does NET Work?
NET operates on the premise that emotional stress can be stored in the body and affect physical health. The technique involves several key steps:
- Identifying Emotional Stressors: Practitioners use muscle testing, a form of biofeedback, to identify specific emotional stressors or "neuro-emotional complexes" (NECs) that are affecting the patient.
- Associating Emotions with Physical Responses: The practitioner links the identified emotional stressor to physical symptoms or conditions the patient is experiencing. This helps in understanding how the emotional issue is affecting the body.
- Clearing the Emotional Stressor: The practitioner helps the patient process and release the identified emotional stressor. This is often done through techniques such as tapping on specific acupuncture points while the patient focuses on the emotion.
- Reassessing and Reinforcing: After the emotional stressor is addressed, the practitioner reassesses the patient’s muscle response and overall condition. Reinforcement techniques may be used to help maintain the benefits of the treatment.
