  • Neuro-Emotional Technique

    What is Neuro-Emotional Technique?

    Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is based on the concept that unresolved emotional trauma is stored in the body. Emotions such as excessive, unresolved anger, grief and fear may long affect us even after we have forgotten the event that caused them.

    Since our emotional reality dramatically affects our health, using NET to identify these negatively charged emotions and releasing them can normalize abnormal physical and behavioral patterns.
