NET: A fresh perspective.
Recently I read a superb comment by mental health practitioner who has been practicing NET for 20 years. I wanted to share it with my clients. So below are excerpts from an article written by Mark Fohs, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and ONE Board of Directors Vice President. ONE stands for Our NET Effect and it is the research arm for this marvelous technique. Here are Mark Fohs insights on NET:
“Most clients who enter therapy are both intelligent and motivated to get out of the pain that they are in. They come with expectations of talking about their problems, working on solutions and understanding the relationship between their patterns and their circumstances in order to experience different outcomes in the future.
“NET gives the client and the therapist direct access to the affective structure that keeps the client stuck in repetitive patterns that deliver the same negative results. NET helps the client unhook the “drive mechanism” of these patterns and disconnects the pattern’s ability to control their lives through re-establishing the strength of the connection to who they actually are.
Frequently this takes the form of questions of how the earlier originating event, which locked the NEC in place, is related to the present-time problem. Even though I inform patients that understanding the pattern is not necessary for the correction to be effective, many clients feel the desire to understand the linkages. At first this may require more “process” in sessions, but over time this naturally becomes much less of an issue.”
“…NET is still not for the faint of heart [because] there are the conceptual challenges of brand new concepts, e.g. ‘Emotions are physical not psychological.’ Then there is the steep learning curve of muscle testing, meridians, pulse points, allergies, nutrition and homeopathy! In short it is not really an ‘add on’ technique.”
Mark and I are among many NET practitioners who believe NET is a powerful and effective treatment technique for emotional difficulties.
