Would you say that most physical problems are caused by emotional conflict? That wouldn't be accurate. I do say that health problems are caused by physical, biochemical, or emotional factors. Any one or any combination of these can cause dysfunction. For example, a whiplash resulting in damaged tissues and misalignment is a physical cause of dysfunction, a nutritional deficiency or toxic overload is a biochemical cause of dysfunction, and a perceived negative experience that results in a Neuro-Emotional Complex is an emotional cause of dysfunction. Any of these or all of these can be involved in any one health problem, and they can all negatively influence each other.
Are stuck emotional patterns universal? Yes, we have found this to be true. While our emotions bring richness to our lives, many times they don't fully resolve on their own. When they don't, their residual presence can diminish our health, affect our relationships and sabotage our success.
Do all emotional traumas result in NEC's? No. Just as all falls don't cause subluxations and thus heal naturally, many emotional traumas are not involved in NEC's and therefore resolve naturally. For example, one person may have a few weeks or months of grief in the event of an unfortunate loss of a loved one. This grief usually resolves in a natural healing process, and the person again goes about their daily life. Yet another person may have grief for decades. It just does not seem to extinguish. This is called protracted grief. Grief is associated with the lungs and large intestine. In time it may lead to a lung disorder.
Does this take the place of psychotherapy? No. Locating and resolving these emotional snapshots from the past does not take the place of counseling, analysis or other types of therapy. Actually, many psychotherapists use NET in their practice. Rest assured that we make appropriate referrals as necessary.
How do emotions get stuck in the body? It seems emotions do not resolve properly at times when our body's resistance is compromised. If the energy of the emotion is not felt and expressed, then it is not discharged and gets stuck in the body. Our job is to find these unresolved emotions and help you finally discharge them in a healthy way.
