1. Introduction
Version followed: Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) as published by its owner, N.E.T., Inc. (NETmindbody.com: "What is NET?", "Background Concepts & Dynamics of NET", the page for mind-oriented practitioners, the 2004 patient brochure and the 2014 First Aid Stress Tool handout). NET is described below as its organisation publishes it; the intervention inventory is the psychotherapist's own work with a client who is having, or considering, NET from another practitioner. This guide does not teach NET itself.
What it is. NET is a proprietary mind/body method developed by the chiropractor Scott Walker, beginning in the early 1980s as a way for chiropractors to address recurring vertebral "subluxations", and later extended to non-spinal practitioners who use non-needle acupoint stimulation instead of spinal adjustment [source: NETmindbody, What is NET?]. A secondary account dates the founding story to 1985 and describes NET as drawing on chiropractic, acupuncture concepts and applied kinesiology (Walker's mentor's method) [source: McGill OSS, Jarry 2022]. Research on NET is funded and collated by the ONE Research Foundation (Encinitas, California), which describes itself as dedicated to NET [source: Bablis, Pollard & Monti 2006; Monti et al. 2017; McGill OSS].
Core idea of change, as NET holds it. A real or perceived threat can leave a "Neuro Emotional Complex" (NEC), which NET defines as a "subjective maladaptation syndrome": a conditioned (Pavlovian) physiological stress response that failed to extinguish. According to NET, each NEC may involve an emotion, a recallable memory ("SnapShot"), a meridian imbalance and active pulse point, a muscle that tests weak, and, for chiropractors, specific subluxations. Briefly re-engaging the memory while a physical "correction" is given (spinal adjustment or acupoint contact) is said to let the body complete extinction and return to homeostasis [source: NETmindbody, What is NET?; Background Concepts]. The meridian and Five Element emotion-organ correlations are NET's own attributed concepts drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine and applied kinesiology. NET states that it "is not counseling, psychotherapy, or CBT" in aim: it does not seek insight or advise behaviour change [source: NETmindbody, What is NET?].
At a glance (one line each).
- Who practises it: Certified NET Practitioners, who per NET must hold a master's degree or higher in a healing art and be licensed or governed by a state or national body; mostly chiropractors, also acupuncturists and other "body-oriented" providers, and some "mind-oriented" (mental-health) practitioners [source: NETmindbody, What is NET?; For mind-oriented practitioners; Erickson Foundation catalogue].
- Training: proprietary NET seminars with exams, leading to "Certified NET Practitioner" status maintained through continuing education; certification is by N.E.T., Inc. [source: NETmindbody, What is NET?]. Seminar names, levels and fees [uncertain: not verified].
- Regulation: NET is not itself a licensed profession in any main jurisdiction; it is practised under the practitioner's own licence and board (e.g. chiropractic, acupuncture, psychology) and that board's scope and advertising rules [synthesis; uncertain: not verified per jurisdiction].
- NET Remedies: homeopathic products sold through NET practitioners, offered as optional support after a correction [source: NETmindbody, What is NET?; Background Concepts; FAST handout]; their regulatory status as homeopathic medicines in each jurisdiction [uncertain: not verified].
- Evidence status: a small body of studies, many case reports and small waitlist-controlled trials funded by the ONE Research Foundation; independent commentators judge the theory implausible and the evidence weak [source: Monti et al. 2017; McGill OSS, Jarry 2022].
2. Framework
A. NET as its organisation describes a session (for the therapist's understanding only; not steps to perform) [source: NETmindbody, What is NET?; For mind-oriented practitioners; Background Concepts; patient brochure].
- The client names a focus (a symptom, behaviour or stressful situation). A "neuro-emotional case history" may be taken.
- Entry: the practitioner muscle-tests a simple statement such as an "I'm OK" personal declarative ("Mind Entry"), or the client touches an area of physical discomfort ("Body Entry") [entry names: source: Calandra practitioner page, secondary].
- If the muscle tests weaker, the practitioner locates an active pulse point (by touch, e.g. at the wrist) and an associated emotion from NET's emotion-meridian correlations.
- The client recalls a "SnapShot" of an emotionally significant event, which NET treats as "Emotional Reality", which may or may not match historical fact.
- Correction: while the client holds forehead "Emotional Points" and a pulse point, breathes and focuses on the memory, the practitioner gives a spinal adjustment (chiropractors) or acupoint stimulation (others). The statement is re-tested.
- Optional NET Remedies (homeopathic) may be offered afterwards.
- NET's training describes "15 basic steps" and "7 theoretical underpinnings" [source: Erickson Foundation catalogue, IC11 Short Course 46]; the individual steps are not published openly [uncertain: not verified].
- Format and count: sessions may be stand-alone (one practitioner describes 30-minute visits) or a segment within another session; NET publishes no standard course length [source: Calandra practitioner page; For mind-oriented practitioners; uncertain]. Published case reports describe long courses (e.g. dozens of sessions) [source: McGill OSS].
- Self-care tool: the First Aid Stress Tool (FAST), a home method in which the person touches the forehead stress points and wrist pulse points while breathing slowly and thinking of the stressor; NET says it is "not intended as a replacement for consultation, diagnosis or treatment" [source: FAST handout 2014].
B. The psychotherapist's alongside work [synthesis]. Typically folded into ongoing therapy rather than run as separate sessions:
- Ask and record (first session and at reviews). Move on once use, practitioner, frequency, costs, any remedies and the client's own aims are noted.
- Explore meaning and expectations (one to two sessions, revisited as needed). Move on when the client's explanatory model and hopes are clear and stated in their words.
- Support decisions (as decisions arise, e.g. delaying medical care, paying for a long course, acting on a "recovered" memory). Move on when the client has made an informed choice that fits their values.
- Coordinate (with consent) with the GP or physician, pharmacist and, if the client wishes, the NET practitioner. Done when roles are clear and medical care is in place.
- Monitor risk and review at every session; escalate immediately if risk signs appear (section 4).
3. Guiding principles
NET's own stated principles, useful when talking with the client and the NET practitioner:
- Emotional reality, not historical fact. NET says events found in a session are the client's "EMOTIONAL REALITY" and NET "never makes claims to past events" [source: For mind-oriented practitioners; Calandra page]. In practice: treat any memory surfaced in NET as material to explore, never as verified history.
- Muscle testing is not a yes/no oracle. NET says the test is never used as a "yes/no" or "true/false" indicator, to verify the past, predict the future or tell clients what to do [source: For mind-oriented practitioners; Background Concepts]. In practice: if a client reports being told otherwise, this departs from NET's published position; explore it.
- Not at a distance; no spiritual, exorcism or prediction work [source: What is NET?]. In practice: claims of remote NET or spiritual diagnosis are outside NET's own description.
- Refer for cognitive and behavioural needs. NET says body-oriented practitioners are trained to refer using a "13-point guideline" and that NET does not replace counselling [source: What is NET?; patient brochure]. In practice: the psychotherapist is a legitimate partner, not a competitor.
- The client can stop at any time ("just say the word") [source: patient brochure]. In practice: check the client knows and uses this right.
The psychotherapist's stance alongside NET [synthesis unless cited]:
- Curious, never judging. Clients disclose more when complementary use is met with interest. Ask, do not interrogate.
- Autonomy first. The choice to use NET is the client's; the therapist's role is informed, values-based decision-making without pressure either way.
- Do not perform, sell, prescribe or recommend. The therapist does not muscle-test, hold points, teach FAST, supply NET Remedies or refer to a named NET practitioner. A licensed psychotherapist who chooses to train in NET does so under their own board's scope; that is outside this guide.
- Attribute, do not adjudicate. Describe meridians, NECs and subluxations as NET holds them ("in NET's view…"), neither endorsing nor mocking them.
- No disease-treatment framing. NET materials link NECs to chronic physical problems and some reports concern infertility and hypothyroidism [source: patient brochure; Bablis et al. 2006; McGill OSS]. In practice: physical symptoms always go to the client's doctor; NET is never framed as treatment for disease.
- Safety and medical care before everything. Any sign of delayed diagnosis or stopped medicines triggers coordination with the prescriber.
- Touch is the client's to control. NET involves the practitioner touching the client (arm for muscle testing, wrist pulse points, forehead, and spinal adjustment for chiropractors). Consent before and during, the right to stop, and never sexual or genital touch, are non-negotiable; the therapist does not touch the client.
- Memory caution. Do not build therapy on "SnapShots" as evidence of events, especially abuse; follow standard trauma-informed, non-suggestive practice.
- Coordinate, do not split. Avoid placing the client between professionals; with consent, clarify roles.
4. Intervention inventory
All items below are the psychotherapist's own work alongside NET [synthesis, informed by NET's published descriptions where cited]. None involves performing NET, muscle testing, holding points, teaching FAST or advising on NET Remedies.
4.1 Routine, non-judgemental enquiry and recording
- Purpose / when: At intake and at reviews, so that NET use (and any NET Remedies or chiropractic care) is known and can be factored into the formulation and safety planning. Use also when a client mentions "muscle testing", "emotional release work", a chiropractor working on emotions, or homeopathic sprays.
- Steps: (1) Ask an open question about all complementary or body-based approaches, normalising them. (2) If NET is named, record: practitioner's profession and licensing body, how often, how long so far, approximate cost, what the client works on there, any products taken, and whether their doctor knows. (3) Ask what has been helpful and anything that has been unsettling. (4) Record in the client's words, without evaluative language. (5) Agree to revisit at reviews.
- Example language (illustrative): "Lots of people use other approaches alongside therapy, like chiropractic, acupuncture or body-based emotional work. Is there anything like that you're doing at the moment? I ask so I can understand the whole picture, not to judge it."
- Watch for: Hesitation or apology (signals expected disapproval: slow down, reassure); products not shared with the doctor; frequency or cost rising over time. It is working when the client volunteers updates on NET without prompting.
4.2 Debriefing the client's experience of NET sessions
- Purpose / when: NET deliberately elicits brief recall of distressing memories and can produce what NET calls "profound emotional releases" [source: What is NET?]. Use when a client arrives after a NET session distressed, flooded, unusually elated, or carrying new memories or interpretations.
- Steps: (1) Check present-moment state and safety first; ground if needed. (2) Ask what happened in the session in sequence: what was focused on, what was recalled, what was said to them, what touch occurred. (3) Separate experience ("I felt fear") from interpretation ("so my liver holds anger from age four"). (4) Validate the felt experience. (5) Note any material for the therapy and any boundary or safety concern (4.8, 4.9). (6) Agree on pacing if trauma work is under way in both settings.
- Example language (illustrative): "Before we get into meaning, how are you right now, in your body? ... Can you walk me through the session from the start, what you were asked to think about and what you noticed?"
- Watch for: Dissociation, intrusive images or sleep disruption after sessions (suggests NET is opening trauma material faster than the client can integrate: discuss pacing). Working when the client can describe sessions calmly and decide what to bring to therapy.
4.3 Exploring meaning, hopes, expectations and explanatory model
- Purpose / when: Understand what draws the client to NET: control, hope after medical disappointment, distrust of medicine or of talking therapy, a body-based identity, a family or community connection, or a wish for fast change (NET's brochure speaks of being able to "instantly resolve" long-standing problems [source: patient brochure]).
- Steps: (1) Ask how they understand their problem and how NET is meant to help (NEC, "stuck" emotions, subluxations), in their words. (2) Ask what they hope will change and by when. (3) Ask what it would mean if it did not. (4) Reflect the values beneath the choice (agency, being taken seriously, wanting the body included). (5) Link these values to therapy goals.
- Example language (illustrative): "How does your NET practitioner explain what's going on for you? ... And how does that fit with how you see it? ... What are you hoping will be different in a few months?"
- Watch for: All-or-nothing hope ("this is my last chance"), which raises the stakes of disappointment; explanations that locate all distress in the body and leave no room for relationships or behaviour. Working when the client can hold several explanations side by side.
4.4 Working with "Emotional Reality" and surfaced memories
- Purpose / when: NET uses the client's recalled "SnapShot" and states that this is "Emotional Reality" that may not match historical fact [source: Background Concepts; For mind-oriented practitioners]. Use when a client reports a newly recalled or newly interpreted event (especially abuse, early childhood or pre-verbal events) from NET.
- Steps: (1) Acknowledge the emotional significance. (2) Share NET's own position that muscle testing does not verify the past. (3) Use non-leading, open questions; do not add detail or confirm. (4) Help the client hold uncertainty and decide, without pressure, what if anything to do (avoid confrontations, accusations or family ruptures based on session findings alone). (5) If the memory raises a current safeguarding concern (e.g. a child now at risk), follow safeguarding procedures as you would for any disclosure.
- Example language (illustrative): "It sounds as if something came up with a lot of feeling attached. NET itself describes these as your emotional reality rather than proof of what happened. Can we give it room here, without needing to decide yet what it means?"
- Watch for: Rapid certainty about events never previously remembered; pressure from anyone to act on them; worsening family conflict. Working when the client can explore the feeling without being driven to act.
4.5 Supporting informed, values-based decisions
- Purpose / when: When the client faces a choice involving NET: starting, continuing a long or costly course, using NET for a physical condition, using it instead of or alongside medical care, or adding NET Remedies. No published decision aid specific to NET has been identified [uncertain]; use a general structure.
- Steps: (1) Name the decision. (2) List options including "both" and "wait". (3) Ask what matters most (cost, time, symptom relief, medical safety, sense of control). (4) Help the client find out what they need: what their doctor says about the physical condition; what the NET practitioner claims and on what evidence; total cost. (5) Summarise the client's own reasoning back. (6) Respect the decision and agree a review point.
- Example language (illustrative): "It's your call, and I'm not here to steer you either way. Could we lay the options side by side and look at what each would mean for the things you said matter most?"
- Watch for: The therapist's own bias (for or against); signs the client feels judged; decisions made under financial or group pressure. Working when the client describes the decision as their own and understands the trade-offs.
4.6 Coordinating with the client's doctor or pharmacist
- Purpose / when: NET materials link emotional patterns to physical conditions and offer homeopathic products [source: patient brochure; What is NET?]. Coordinate when the client has a physical condition, takes prescribed medicines, uses NET Remedies, is pregnant, or is considering changing medical care.
- Steps: (1) Ask for consent and agree exactly what will be shared. (2) Encourage the client to tell their GP or physician and pharmacist about NET and any products, including chiropractic adjustments where relevant. (3) Never advise starting, stopping or changing any medicine or remedy; route those questions to the prescriber or pharmacist. (4) If the client consents, write or speak to the doctor to share relevant psychological context. (5) Record the plan.
- Example language (illustrative): "Questions about the sprays or your thyroid tablets are really for your pharmacist or doctor; I'm not the right person to advise on medicines. Would it help to plan how you'll raise it with them?"
- Watch for: Reluctance to tell the doctor (explore why: shame, fear of dismissal); a doctor who reacts dismissively (support the client to stay engaged with medical care). Working when medical and complementary care are both known to the treating doctor.
4.7 Coordinating with the NET practitioner (optional, with consent)
- Purpose / when: NET states that its practitioners refer clients with cognitive or behavioural needs and that NET does not replace counselling [source: What is NET?; patient brochure]. Coordinate when both are working on the same trauma material, when sessions are destabilising, or when the client wants the two to talk.
- Steps: (1) Obtain written consent specifying content and purpose. (2) Confirm the practitioner's profession and licensing body. (3) Clarify roles: the NET practitioner provides NET under their licence; the psychotherapist provides psychotherapy. (4) Agree pacing for trauma-related work and how distress after sessions will be communicated. (5) Do not endorse, recommend or refer to the practitioner; do not request NET "findings" as clinical evidence.
- Example language (illustrative, to the practitioner): "With [client]'s consent, I'm getting in touch so we can avoid working at cross-purposes. She's noticed strong distress for a day or two after sessions, and we're pacing trauma work carefully here."
- Watch for: Splitting (the client is told one professional is "blocking" the other); muscle-test results presented to you as diagnoses. Working when the client experiences the professionals as cooperating.
4.8 Touch, consent and boundaries check
- Purpose / when: NET involves touch by the practitioner: arm pressure for muscle testing, contact with wrist pulse points and the forehead, other body points, and spinal adjustment for chiropractors [source: What is NET?; For mind-oriented practitioners; patient brochure; McGill OSS]. Use when a client describes NET sessions, and routinely with trauma survivors.
- Steps: (1) Ask what touch occurs and whether it was explained and agreed beforehand. (2) Check that the client knows they may decline any touch or stop at any time (NET's brochure says the session can end when the client says so [source: patient brochure]). (3) Ask whether consent was checked during the session. (4) Explore any discomfort without minimising it. (5) If touch was sexual, involved intimate areas, or continued after refusal, treat this as a serious boundary violation: support the client, explain reporting routes (4.12) and, where applicable, follow mandatory reporting duties. (6) Note that hands-off or self-contact options exist within NET's own materials (e.g. the client holding points themselves [source: For mind-oriented practitioners; FAST handout]); the client can ask the practitioner about these. The psychotherapist does not touch the client or demonstrate holding points.
- Example language (illustrative): "Some of the NET work involves the practitioner touching your arm, wrist or back. How has that been for you? ... You're always entitled to say no to any touch, or to stop, at any point, and to ask for a hands-off option."
- Watch for: Freeze or compliance responses in trauma survivors ("I didn't feel I could say no"); touch near intimate areas; sessions in isolated settings without clear explanation. Chaperone and documentation duties are set by the practitioner's own professional board [uncertain: not verified per board]. Working when the client can state limits and feels able to use them.
4.9 Recognising and responding to risk
- Purpose / when: Screen for harms that can accompany any complementary method; review at every session where NET is in use.
- Steps and responses:
- Delay or replacement of medical care: NET materials describe it helping chronic physical problems and case reports concern infertility, hypothyroidism and other conditions [source: patient brochure; Bablis et al. 2006; McGill OSS]. If a client is delaying investigation, treatment or medicines, express concern clearly, explore the decision (4.5) and encourage prompt medical review (4.6).
- Medicines and remedies: never advise on them; route to prescriber or pharmacist.
- Children: parents may bring children to NET. Explore consent and the child's assent; if a child is being deprived of necessary medical care, follow safeguarding procedures.
- Pregnancy: encourage disclosure of NET, chiropractic care and any products to the midwife or obstetrician.
- Eating disorders: screen if NET is linked to diet or "nutrition" advice (the brochure mentions nutrition as part of care [source: patient brochure]); respond to restrictive or orthorexic patterns as for any eating-disorder presentation.
- Financial harm: courses, remedies and stress products are paid for; ask about total costs and pressure to buy. Tiered trainings and certification businesses may also be marketed to clients who become enthusiasts.
- Trauma destabilisation: deliberate recall can produce strong abreaction; respond to flooding, dissociation, self-harm urges or suicidality with standard risk assessment and safety planning.
- Group or practitioner dependence: note isolation from other help, all decisions routed through muscle testing, or being told to distrust doctors or therapy.
- Example language (illustrative): "I can hear how much hope you have in this. I'd feel I wasn't doing my job if I didn't say I'm worried about the scan being put off. What would help you get it done while you carry on with NET?"
- Watch for: Concealment, escalating spend, missed medical appointments, a child's worsening condition. Working when risks are named openly and medical care remains in place.
4.10 Health anxiety and somatic symptom presentations
- Purpose / when: Some clients seek NET for persistent bodily symptoms, health worries or symptoms attributed to stored emotions. Use when symptoms are prominent, medically investigated, and accompanied by worry, checking or reassurance-seeking.
- Steps: (1) Ensure appropriate medical assessment has occurred (4.6). (2) Use an established psychological approach for health anxiety or somatic symptom presentations (see Domain II). (3) Explore whether repeated NET sessions, or searching for the next hidden "complex", function as reassurance-seeking or checking. (4) Build a shared, non-dismissive formulation linking stress, attention and bodily sensation. (5) Agree goals around functioning rather than certainty.
- Example language (illustrative): "Your symptoms are real, and your body and stress are clearly connected for you. I'm curious whether looking for the next thing to clear brings relief that then fades. Shall we look at that pattern together?"
- Watch for: Increasing session frequency with shorter relief; new symptoms replacing old ones. Working when the client tolerates uncertainty better and functioning improves (cross-ref Domain II).
4.11 Responding when asked to use NET or FAST in therapy
- Purpose / when: Clients may ask the therapist to muscle-test, hold points, run FAST in session, sell NET Remedies or recommend a practitioner.
- Steps: (1) Thank the client and acknowledge what they value in NET. (2) Explain the therapist's role and scope: no performing, teaching, selling, prescribing or recommending. (3) Offer psychotherapeutic work on the same goal (e.g. established grounding, emotion regulation or trauma-focused methods within the therapist's training). (4) Avoid financial or referral relationships with NET practitioners or product sellers; declare any conflict of interest. A psychotherapist who trains in NET is acting under their own board's scope; that decision lies outside this guide.
- Example language (illustrative): "I'm glad FAST helps between sessions. It isn't something I use or teach, so I'd leave that with your NET practitioner. What I can offer here is ..."
- Watch for: The client feeling rejected; the therapist being drawn into adjudicating NET. Working when the client understands the boundary and still feels respected.
4.12 Reporting routes
- Purpose / when: When there is a boundary violation, misleading health claims, harm from a product, or a safeguarding concern.
- Routes [synthesis; specific agency procedures uncertain: not verified]:
- Practitioner conduct (including touch violations or claims beyond scope): the practitioner's licensing board (e.g. a state chiropractic board in the US, the relevant national regulator elsewhere). N.E.T., Inc. can also be told, as the certifying body.
- Products such as homeopathic remedies: the national medicines regulator (e.g. FDA in the US, MHRA in the UK, TGA in Australia, Health Canada).
- Misleading advertising: advertising and consumer regulators (e.g. FTC in the US, the Advertising Standards Authority in the UK and New Zealand, which applies a therapeutic and health advertising code [source: ASA NZ decision 26/100]).
- Children or adults at risk: local safeguarding or child-protection services, following your jurisdiction's mandatory reporting rules.
- Steps: (1) Discuss with the client what they want and what is mandatory. (2) Support the client to report, or report yourself where required. (3) Document what was disclosed, advice given and actions taken. (4) Consult your supervisor and, if needed, your own professional body.
- Example language (illustrative): "What you've described isn't acceptable, and you have options. We can look at who to tell and you can decide what feels right, except where I have a duty to act, which I'll explain."
- Watch for: Client fear of retaliation or of losing a valued practitioner; mandatory duties that override confidentiality. Working when the client feels supported rather than pushed.
5. Handling problems
NET's published materials do not address the psychotherapist's side of these difficulties; all guidance below is [synthesis] unless cited.
- Client is stuck: NET "cleared" the issue but the problem persists. Avoid either "it didn't work" or "you need more sessions". Explore what changed and what did not; treat the persisting pattern as ordinary therapy material (behaviour, relationships, avoidance). Ask what the client makes of it.
- Client resists discussing NET or is defensive. Usually reflects expected judgement. Re-state curiosity and respect, then step back; return at the next review. Do not make discussion a condition of therapy.
- Therapist's own scepticism or enthusiasm leaks. Take it to supervision. Keep to attributed language ("in NET's view") and to the client's values. Critical commentary exists [source: McGill OSS], but debating it in session rarely helps the client decide.
- Overwhelm after NET sessions. Prioritise stabilisation: grounding, sleep, safety planning; consider asking the client whether to pause or space out NET or trauma-focused work while stabilising; with consent, coordinate pacing (4.7). Assess dissociation and suicidality with standard practice.
- Client wants to act on a memory or "finding" from muscle testing (confront family, end a relationship, change medicines). Slow the decision; recall NET's own position that the test does not verify the past or direct choices [source: For mind-oriented practitioners]; use 4.4 and 4.5; route medicine questions to the prescriber.
- Non-adherence to medical care. Name concern clearly and early, keep the alliance, encourage medical review, and with consent coordinate with the doctor. If a child or dependent adult is affected, follow safeguarding procedures.
- Rupture: client feels the therapist dismissed NET, or that the NET practitioner "knows them better". Acknowledge the rupture openly, own your part, and ask what would help. Avoid competing; clarify that each role is different.
- Splitting between professionals. Clarify roles in writing with consent; avoid communicating through the client; bring disagreements back to the client's goals.
- Financial strain or escalating purchases. Explore costs openly and without shame; support budgeting decisions in line with the client's values; watch for pressure to buy remedies, products or trainings.
- Client wants to become a NET practitioner or join trainings. Explore motives and finances like any career or identity decision; note that NET restricts training to licensed practitioners with higher degrees [source: What is NET?].
- Touch-related distress or a reported violation. Believe and support; follow 4.8 and 4.12; consult supervisor; document.
- Modality-specific: "the body says" language. Clients may report that muscle testing showed what they feel or want. Gently separate the test from the client's own judgement, using NET's own statement that the test is not a yes/no indicator [source: For mind-oriented practitioners; Background Concepts], and invite the client to say what they themselves think.
- Health anxiety maintained by repeated sessions. Address the checking and reassurance cycle with established approaches (4.10; Domain II).
