NET (Neuro Emotional Technique)
Scottsdale Naturopathic Doctor

What is NET (Neuro Emotional Technique)?

Neuro Emotional Technique is a stress-reducing technique that removes neurological imbalances related to the physiology of unresolved stress patterns.

Simply put, NET can help resolve stubborn symptoms, self-limiting beliefs, phobias, or pain by helping your body release unprocessed emotions.

How Does NET Work?

Imagine cutting a lemon, smelling it, and then biting into it. As you continue to visualize this juicy, sour lemon, you may notice that you start to salivate, even though the lemon is not actually present. Your body has a memory of that prior experience where a lemon made you salivate.

The same may be true if you hear someone talking about bugs or lice. You may start to scratch your skin or head as you hear about crawling critters, even though no actual bugs are present.

When a past experience causes any emotion to arise, the body replicates continued physiological responses that are similar to the ones that occurred with the original event. This ongoing response is often unwanted, such as feeling anxious anytime you fall short of perfection. This “original event” may be from a past relationship where you felt insulted or had love withheld anytime you made a mistake. Even if a person is in a healthier relationship now, they may notice that they still get anxious or feel worried that this loved one will be upset with them if they are imperfect (which we all are of course).

Neuro Emotional Technique combines elements of applied kinesiology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and physiology to restore balance to a person’s emotional and physiological systems. This stress-reducing technique helps process unresolved emotion or trauma that is stored in the body from prior stressful event or memories. This technique helps a person to be less reactive and no longer held back by pain, self-limiting beliefs, or anxiety.

Together, the patient and practitioner are able to find the original emotion and event that are contributing to the current undesirable symptom or emotion. The nervous system is then allowed to process the stuck emotion, and the patient is able to move forward, no longer being held back by past trauma or stress.

The majority of patients notice immediate relief and leave their NET session stating that they feel “lighter” or “more relaxed”.

NET Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about NET with our most frequently asked questions. If you still have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Check out our blog to learn more about how NET compares to different types of therapy.

How Many NET Treatments Will I Require?

This is impossible to predict, and really depends on a person’s goals, lifestyle, and duration or intensity of symptoms. Children, in general, or people with a specific concern such as resolving a phobia, may only require 1-3 sessions. People with PTSD or chronic/severe issues may require 10 or more sessions.

Although people can notice drastic results in a single session, it’s unrealistic to expect one session to heal and resolve decades worth of stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotion, just as brushing your teeth once a year doesn’t suddenly heal your entire oral cavity.

In an ideal world, we would all get regular treatments to continually succeed in the process of healing. This is not practical for many people, therefore, we recommend starting with ~3 sessions so you and your body can feel the benefits, then you and your physician can discuss what is in your best interest moving forward.

Can I just do NET if I already have a health care provider or don’t want to do a comprehensive health program at your office?

Yes! We welcome people wherever they are at in their healing journey and respect boundaries, therefore, you are welcome to do NET as a stand-alone treatment at our office. Please be aware that any additional advice related to labs, supplements, homeopathic remedies, etc. will not be offered or discussed for professional and ethical reasons out of respect for you and your health care providers.

When other practitioners refer patients to us for NET, we love helping to incorporate additional pieces to the healing puzzle. We can either solely perform NET, or as appropriate, combine QNRT with NET into each session which can provide incredible results for patients.

How long is an NET session and what is the cost?

Typically, initial sessions are $225 for a 45-minute appointment. Follow-up appointments may be 30, 45, or 60 minutes, depending on the patient’s preferences and needs. The cost for a 30-minute session is $150, and 60 minutes is $300. The price of each appointment is based on time, and does not vary whether a person has NET, QNRT, or a combination of both which can offer incredible results.

Is NET worth it?

As with any journey to self-improvement, NET's benefits are best seen when you are ready to do the work and commit to feeling better. The benefits of NET can be:

stress reduction
better control over one's emotions
improved communication and relationships
reduced limiting beliefs
better alignment with oneself and one's purpose
better sleep
overall improved physical wellbeing
reduction in self-sabotaging behaviors
