What Is NET?
Emotions are part of the natural, healthy response process we have to virtually every situation we encounter. However, sometimes challenging emotional experiences and physical vulnerabilities create lingering stress in our mind-body architecture. Such stress can contribute to physical complaints, emotional difficulties, and problems with goal achievement. Developed in 1988 by Dr. Scott Walker, NET® is a powerful intervention that can assess and alleviate internal stressors that are creating barriers to health, emotional balance, success and positive change.

How Does NET Work?
Basic emotions like fear, anger, and grief are part of the normal response to everyday experiences. Generally, these emotional responses dissipate as the situation that triggers them resolves. For example, if you encounter a growling dog while you're walking down the street, you may feel fear. The fear, in this case, is part of the healthy emotional response that protects your survival, and it will normally dissipate when the threat is gone. However, sometimes there are factors that prevent the body from recovering from what was originally a healthy response. The result is a short-circuit or "glitch" in the nervous system, which can affect physical and mental well-being. Emotional reactions to situations can also be conditioned, and sometimes after just one life experience - especially if it was a traumatic one!

Similar But Different
Pavlov discovered that if a dog is conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell, the bell can be changed to another bell that sounds slightly different and the dog will still salivate. The same thing can happen with our conditioned emotional responses. For example, let's consider the case of a young boy who was severely scolded by his father for making a simple mistake. This incident caused him great anxiety and an upset stomach. Today, as an adult, he finds himself becoming overly tense and gets an upset stomach whenever an older man (e.g., his boss) criticizes him in any way. He doesn't consciously connect the two incidents, and can't figure out why he feels ill. NET® makes the connection and efficiently resolves the problem.

Finding the Short Circuit
The "emotional baggage" associated with past events in our lives can sometimes haunt us for years. Like a computer "glitch," unresolved negative associations are stored in our bodies, often short-circuiting our dreams, goals, even our health. A coach who practices NET® assists you with identifying and resolving stuck events (real or imagined) that are affecting your ability to have optimal health and well-being.

What Others Say About Clear Intentions and NET
"Barbara's work is fresh and amazingly efficient...her skill with NET® and inspired insights set her apart in the "going-below- the-surface" department. My results have been both immediate and cumulative...and remarkably liberating."
Jean Wood, Vice President, MHI Real Estate Development, Bend, OR

I have known Barbara over the course of several years and worked with her on family relationships and my tendency to become overly-responsible. Barbara has helped me bring healing on some issues held deeply in my consciousness. She creates a safe and centered environment within which to work together, is brightly intuitive, heart-centered in her approach, and wonderfully articulate. Barbara is gifted in her creative and expansive perspective, offering a much broader view in areas of challenge than I am accustomed to seeing on my own.

Take some time to identify the deeper reasons of why some things trigger you they way they do. Pick one or two situations that are guaranteed to trigger you (they have been in the past and you are certain that they will in the future).

Write down what is so upsetting about them and look for a similar situation in the past. Once you have found the past event, take some time to get complete with the event. That's easier said than done, I know. But remember, you can't do anything about the past. In most cases, truly forgiving yourself and any person who was involved will provide you with some relief.

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old questions from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.
