emotions: the hidden key to our health

We all experience stress throughout our lives, and it's normal to have emotional reactions to significant events and then return to our usual state.

However, sometimes we aren't able to express our emotions adequately when a stressful event occurs.

This can happen for various reasons. We might have been too young to understand what was happening. Perhaps we were in a crisis situation that required quick responses without time to process our feelings. We may also have been in an environment where expressing emotions was discouraged or deemed inappropriate.

Many of us were taught that it was not okay to express our negative emotions.

Most of us did not grow up in ‘emotionally healthy’ families.

We absorbed all sorts of messages about how to be and how to feel.

We found out quickly that if we followed these ‘family messages,’ we were usually rewarded in some way. Sometimes, good behaviors gave us good rewards. However, many times, these ‘positive rewards’ or ‘bribes’ became maladaptive coping patterns. Habitually escaping into food, video games, or TV sets us up later in life to NOT deal with the ways that we check out to stay ‘good.’

If we didn’t follow the messages or ‘rules,’ we were likely punished.

The punishment could be mild to severe, involving emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.

Many of us, especially men, are told that if we have emotions, it makes us weak or pathetic.

How many times have you heard things like “Don’t cry! If you don’t stop crying, I’ll give you something to cry about!” or “Real men don’t get angry, they get even.” We learn very quickly in life that it is better for us to stay inside the ‘family rules.’

Our communities are the other likely places where we learn how to feel or behave. Most of us have at least one story of feeling embarrassed or humiliated in school, gym class, at home, or in our place of worship.

The vulnerability is so painful that many of us vow to never experience that feeling again.

It does not feel safe when others are laughing and benefitting from our vulnerabilities. Often, these same people bring up the same painful events over and over, as they laugh at us and wound us again. It is humiliating, and these events sear into our psyche and bury deep in our core.

These are the events that we still replay on a loop in our minds today.

Many of these events in my life happened long ago. Is it necessary to bring it up again? Won’t that just make it worse?

Just because we don’t express our emotions doesn’t mean we didn’t have them.

**Our bodies remember how we responded in the past,** and our brains respond again in the same way as before.

Because our bodies remember what these events feel like, we are hypersensitive any time another event appears remotely similar to the original event.

After all, your brain and body remember how you survived that event or attack, and their job is to keep you safe and alive.

So, what do we do?
Is there a way to permanently address old, painful emotions?

Insert healing using Neuro Emotional Technique or NET. This technique is simple, non-invasive, quick, and very potent. NET can find old imbalances in your physical or emotional body, and with a carefully designed sequence of steps, NET can restore your physiology back to homeostasis or ‘normalcy.’

Although NET was originally developed as a way of finding and correcting an emotional/stress component that was related to a physical problem, very early on patients started reporting that the ‘dramas’ of their lives were improving too. Patients found they were feeling significantly less stressed, happier, more at ease, and so on.

how does NET help resolve traumas or painful memories?

How does it stop me from re-experiencing these events?

A skilled NET practitioner will identify the emotion that needs to be released, locate where it is stored in your body using applied kinesiology or muscle testing, and determine the age you were when the painful emotion occurred. Together, you and your practitioner will identify the significant event that happened at that time. Once the event is identified, a specific sequence is used to release your mind and body from holding onto it.

Think of your body as a combination lock. Remember getting your first combination lock in middle school? You practiced the sequence repeatedly: right to 27, left to 18, right to 3. When the numbers lined up correctly, the lock opened; otherwise, it remained locked.

Similarly, our bodies need the right sequence to unlock past events. A knowledgeable practitioner can help you unlock and resolve these events, allowing you to move forward with your life.
