During an NET session, the practitioner uses gentle manual muscle testing to help locate where stress patterns may be held within your nervous system. By combining focused attention with addressing these physiological responses, NET helps the body release what are often referred to as Neuro-Emotional Complexes (NECs), allowing your nervous system to return to a more balanced state.

No. NET is not a substitute for psychological or psychiatric therapy and it does not involve counselling or talk therapy. Instead, it is a body-oriented technique that works with physiological stress responses and aims to lessen how unresolved stress impacts your nervous system and physical function.

NET may be beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic stress or tension, physical symptoms that don’t resolve with traditional care, nervous system imbalance, or ongoing discomfort linked to past stressors. Many people also find NET helpful in reducing overall stress responses and supporting greater ease in daily function.

NET does not aim to treat or analyse emotions in the way that counselling or talk therapy does. Instead, it identifies and addresses imbalances in the body’s nervous system that are associated with unresolved stress, allowing your body to process stress patterns more effectively.

Yes. Neuro-Emotional Technique can be used as a complementary therapy alongside psychology or counselling. While counselling focuses on conscious emotional processing and behavioural strategies, NET works with the body’s physiological stress responses and nervous system regulation. When used together, these approaches may offer more comprehensive support by addressing both the mental and physical components of stress and wellbeing.

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) helps children by identifying and releasing unresolved emotional stress that may be affecting their nervous system, behaviour, or physical health. Stored stress can contribute to issues such as anxiety, phobias (Eg; fear of dogs), frequent tantrums, difficulty with focus, heightened emotional reactions, or physical symptoms including headaches and abdominal discomfort.

Using gentle muscle testing, NET assists the practitioner in identifying how emotional stress is being held within the body and nervous system. By addressing the associated physical or neurological imbalance rather than focusing on the emotion itself, NET supports improved self-regulation, reduced reactivity and a greater sense of emotional balance.
