occasions when the record (trauma) comes off the shelf and plays again, but if it goes back on the shelf it has become a bad memory not a trauma.
NET is the main technique used to achieve emotional desensitization by physicians while The Emotion Code is used frequently by the general public. NET is an excellent way to help the mind acknowledge, accept, process and move on from past traumas and stressors. It is not cognitive therapy or talk therapy but instead a technique that quickly allows for a trauma or stressor to be recognized and processed through a series of questions and tapping of the acupuncture meridian system (no needles). A recent study on NET revealed that normal brain function is restored for PTSD sufferers in as few as six sessions. NET can often relieve years of emotional trauma starting with the first session while a full program may take 6-12 sessions.
NET seems simple, so how can it be so effective? Most people exposed to a trauma will naturally processes the event and moves on with just a bad memory. A percentage of the population will not be able to process a trauma and the mind will continue to play the event over and over again trying to make sense and find a way to process it. NET simply and effectively identifies the trauma and then gives the mind a pathway to process it. NET works because it is simply assisting the brain to do what it wants to do.
Note: There is no way to predict who or what trauma will cause PTSD. The factors involved in developing PTSD include: genetics, personality traits, history, present state of mind, nutritional status and numerous other intangible factors. An example is an introvert may get past a friend being hurt in a battle, but an extrovert may not. An extrovert may tolerate general combat as long has he/she is with their squad, but an introvert may find it traumatic being in constant close quarters.
