Treatments...
"What does a session look like?" is a very common question we hear. Sessions are done in a typical counseling setting. Client and practitioner sit upright, across from one another and muscle-testing (see "More On Muscle-testing" from the home page) is administered with the client holding an arm out straight in front of the torso. The client accesses their own Meridian alarm points, mirroring the practitioner. There is no hypnosis or suspension of consciousness involved in the process at all. The client is fully conscious and emotionally present throughout the treatment.
Our Healing Protocol is a comprehensive mind-body protocol combining three styles of "circuitry" and spiritual dimensions such as prayer and warfare.
Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.)
N.E.T. was designed by a chiropractor, Dr. Scott Walker as a way to incorporate the body's energy system into structural alignment and balance. As somewhat of a serendipity he discovered that the treatment is also useful in emotional healing. It is only in the last few years that the world of psychology has begun to discover N.E.T. and its benefits. Sarah Thiessen, the designer of Splankna Therapy™, happened upon N.E.T. through a chiropractor friend and colleague. The style of "circuitry" employed by N.E.T. is simply to place the fingertips on the Meridian point where a trauma emotion is thought to be stored, while placing the other hand on the part of the head that pertains to the trauma's general category (for instance on the right temple for future/left temple for past.) The tool of muscle-testing was gleaned from the N.E.T. protocol. It is a common practice among the chiropractic community.
Thought Field Therapy (T.F.T.)
Thought Field Therapy was originated by Dr. Richard Callahan who had a background in body psychology and chiropractics. He designed a system of "algorithms", or orders in which to tap, on Meridian points that he found to correlate to emotion sets. For instance, an order in which to tap on particular points when clearing something in the "grief" category, as opposed to "anger" or "pain." These algorithms are especially helpful for acute emotional overload or subconscious resistance. Splankna Therapy™' heavy emphasis on forgiveness and collarbone statements was gleaned from T.F.T.
E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Dr. Francine Shapiro discovered, quite accidentally, that rapid horizontal eye movement seemed to assist the brain in resolving "stuck" trauma processes. Through the exploration of the phenomenon, it was discovered that bi-lateral brain hemisphere stimulation is a powerful neurological change agent. Splankna Therapy™ incorporates this simple, but effective tool in several ways.
It must be clearly stated that proper medical attention is crucial and should not be disregarded in spite of this available mind-body therapy.
