Summary of Results and Procedures of NET Study of Cancer-related Distress
By Anna Tobia, Ph.D.
The ONE Research Foundation, in partnership with Thomas Jefferson University, explored the impact of Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) in patients presenting with a history of traumatic stress from a cancer-related experience. The psychophysiologic “memory” of these events is what is referred to in NET terminology as the Neuro Emotional Complex (NEC). Below is a modified abstract of the study incorporating NET terminology, followed by a deeper explanation of procedures used, particularly the use of scripts. The primary purpose of this paper is not to dwell on the methodology or groundbreaking results achieved in the joint research study. Rather it is to share with NET practitioners the protocol utilized to obtain these significant results, including the development of scripts to help draw out the underlying Neuro Emotional Complexes (NECs).
