The Emotional Factor
Emotions are healthy human functions and normally pose no long-lasting physiological or psychological problems. In the past, people related to emotions as being primarily psychological and thought they were located only in the brain. Researchers have now proven that emotions are physiological and actually travel in many areas of the body in the form of biochemicals called neuropeptides.
It is human nature to have emotional responses to significant events in our lives. It's also human nature for our bodies to return to a "normal" state at some point after a significant event. Sometimes, however, we can have a neuro-physiological deficit at the time of a significant event and an emotional response can become "locked" in our bodies.
We call these "locked" emotional responses Neuro Emotional Complexes (NECs). NECs have reflex patterns very much like the conditioned response Pavlov documented so well in his experiments with dogs and ringing bells. Eventually, our "locked" negative emotional responses (conscious or unconscious) can manifest as symptoms. The result is ill health or an imbalance in one or more areas of our lives.
The Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is a methodology used to normalize unresolved physical and/or behavioral patterns that have become "locked" in your body. NET practitioners are trained to assist the body's own healing process by identifying and eliminating our unresolved NECs.
Before the discovery of neuropeptides (now known to carry emotions throughout the body), emotions were considered to be largely in the domain of psychology. Now emotions are also considered within the domain of acupuncturists, chiropractors, medical doctors and other vitalistic health care practitioners.
NET is not a "talk-it-out" therapy, nor is it a substitute for psychological or psychiatric therapy. NET is used by psychotherapists and health care practitioners of all disciplines in tandem with their other techniques to quickly enhance their patients' results. NET practitioners are trained to refer to the appropriate specialist, when indicated.
