Neuro-Emotion Release on the Fleurieu Peninsula

Neuro-Emotion Release is based on the Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT), developed by Dr. Benjamin Perkus. It also draws on principles from Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and Timeline Therapy. 

Why scent? Smell has a link to memory and emotion. The part of the brain that processes what you smell sits very close to the areas involved in memory and emotional response. This is more direct than your other senses.¹ AFT is built on this idea, pairing essential oils with focused attention on a specific thought or feeling.

What happens in a session:

1. You'll identify what's on your mind, a thought, feeling, memory, or pattern you'd like to work through. This could be something from today, or something that's lingered for a while.
2. Sutchain guides you through focused awareness on that thought or feeling, while introducing specific essential oils as part of the process.
3. You'll notice and describe how it feels for you as the session progresses, what the emotion is, where it shows up in the body, the intensity of the emotion. There's no set outcome expected, just space to notice what comes up.
4. You'll return to the original thought or feeling, and reflect on anything that feels different.

Sessions are conversational and guided throughout. You're never left to work through anything alone.
