In a NBC6 news segment, reporter Arlene Morante introduces viewers to Neuro‑Emotional Therapy (NET) as a method for quickly uncovering and neutralizing hidden emotional stressors. Certified NET practitioner Jason Wasser explains that the mind‑body system stores past traumas like an "emotional allergy" that can keep people stuck. The segment demonstrates the Mind Body Stress Healing Method, which blends modern scientific research with traditional Eastern practices such as acupuncture. Using muscle‑testing and pulse‑point palpation on the wrist, Wasser helps reporter Lee Bornstein (a parent of a two‑year‑old) locate a stress trigger linked to past parenting worries. By holding specific acupuncture points, the nervous system is said to reset, allowing negative feelings to be released. Within about fifteen minutes, the demonstration claims to have identified and neutralized the stress trigger, illustrating how NET can fast‑track therapeutic insight for everyday concerns like parenting stress.

Welcome back. 6:44 is your time Monday morning. The thought of Monday down the road might be stressful to you. Stress and negativity, all very real emotions so many of us deal with, right? Whether it's a tough morning, a tough month, maybe even a rough year, it is not uncommon. It's not an uncommon technique there that some experts say could change your life if you try it. NBC 6's Arlene Morante did. She helps us break down neuro-emotional therapy and gives it a try.
I won't be doing enough for my child. Our daily stresses can be rooted in our memories, pinpointed not with machines, but with the response from our muscles. That's according to Jason Wasser, a certified neuro-emotional therapy practitioner.
The goal at the end of the day is to fast-track the therapeutic process to find how your mind and body is storing old traumas and old experiences and are keeping you stuck today. So in other words, I would kind of call it an emotional allergy.
The Mind Body Stress Healing Method combines scientific research and centuries-old Eastern healing techniques such as acupuncture. I gave it a try for what many of us deal with day to day: parenting stress. Hey, I have a 2-year-old.
So I'm going to palpate certain pulse points on my wrist. So keep saying that phrase for me.
Okay, I'm okay doing it for my child. Pulse points on the body combined with the arm's resistance sends him a signal.
Which is like stubborn, emotionally repressed, like you're holding in or someone else is holding in their emotions.
The lower he can push gets him closer to an answer.
When you're thinking about something, the nervous system will respond. What we're doing is using the muscle test will actually help us access what's going on in that limbic system, the fight-or-flight response to your body. And are you okay with it, or are you not okay?
In just about 15 minutes, Wasser found a stress trigger from my past related to my parenting worries.
So while holding that acupuncture point, while we were doing that, it kind of did a reset of the nervous system. Okay. So just hold that over there. Awesome. Okay.
Neutralizing negative feelings by letting them go. Wasser said that's what's helped many of his clients.
It's actually helped them get to the issue behind the issue that they didn't even know was there that's holding them back.
