NEURO-EMOTIONAL TECHNIQUE (NET)
NET is a psychosomatic/somatopsychic stress reduction intervention aimed at emotional and physical health improvement.NET is a neuro-emotional intervention for organism (mind/body) health.NET is a tool for mind/body practitioners who are seeking.
Originally the essence of NET was to help chiropractors fix the chronic recurring vertebral subluxation. Often the recurring subluxation is due to the overlooked primary subluxation(s). And, these primary subluxations can be partially due to an aberrant emotional overlay (or emotional complex). In turn, this emotional complex (see NEC below) influences muscles, which, of course, are the movers of vertebrae and other jointed bones. Many chiropractors and osteopaths have used the NET technology in this way since 1988, when the first NET seminar was taught. The original NET approach, as valuable as it is, turned out to be a launching pad for other innovations.
However, it was soon eagerly reported by the patients of NET practitioners, that while the NET intervention for the body was causing much physical relief (especially from chronic problems), they noticed that the “drama” of their lives was improving too; that they were less stressed, happier, felt more at ease, etc. This was a very welcome emotional “side effect” indeed. And over time, this “side effect” of emotional well-being was often judged by the patient to be the “main effect,” with the relief of the original physical complaint now re-categorized and proportionally relegated to be a side effect!
20 /20 Hindsight: In retrospect, knowing now that the mind and body are inseparable in physiology, it only makes sense that if the intervention is successful, then both aspects of the mind/body are benefited. But it evolved more slowly.
Early on, knowing there was a mind/body viewpoint, and using some minor modifications in the procedure, the NET technology evolved another step. This was a reverse of the original approach. The new approach used methods of utilizing emotional complaints to isolate and correct physical problems. Even pre-symptomatic conditions. Thus, we now had a somatopsychic (relating to the effects of the body on the mind) approach.
In summary and in each instance and approach, psychosomatic or somatopsychic, there was found to be BOTH a mind and body improvement. Again, on retrospect, this befits a true mind/body model and approach. At this point, word got around to the members of psychotherapeutic community who wanted to use this tool of NET in their practices.
And, at about this same time, the technology evolved to include the use of a non-needle acupuncture point stimulation, which, in effect, energetically “adjusted” the bodily subluxation via attached muscles and via the meridian system. This resulted in non body- oriented practitioners (i.e., practitioners who are oriented in the mental health professions, etc., and not licensed to adjust the spine), to also be able to utilize the NET technologies.
