Stress and the suppression of emotions is THE SAME THING
Various parts of the body react to stress, with a notable player being the jaw. The tension in your jaw can prevent certain emotions from surfacing, effectively acting as a barrier to emotional overload. This physical response is like hitting a mute button on your feelings.
​
Research in psychomotor development has shown that muscle tension plays a significant role in emotional regulation. By tensing our muscles, we can actually dial down uncomfortable emotions.
​
In the practice of Neo Emotional Release, the underlying causes of this physical tension are directly targeted through a range of therapeutic approaches, including hypnotherapy, osteopathy, breathwork, bodywork, and more.
These modalities work together to create a life-changing, transformative process at the forefront of psychosomatic healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Neo Emotional Release, and how does it differ from traditional therapies?At SoulSync Lab Transformation, we offer NER (Neo-Emotional Release), a holistic therapeutic approach that integrates various techniques, including psychosomatic bodywork, breathwork, trauma-informed therapy (IFS), somatic experiencing, inner child work, and more. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which mainly focuses on the mental aspects, NER addresses the mental, physical, and emotional layers, targeting the root cause of symptoms. We achieve this by identifying and releasing deep-seated emotional imprints (trauma) stored in the body. Together, we create a safe space of unconditional presence and non-judgmental acceptance for any emotions or patterns that may arise. In this sanctuary, you can fully express yourself, allowing yourself to be seen and heard, and feel encouraged to explore your emotions without fear of criticism or rejection. By fostering a trusting and nurturing environment, SoulSync Lab Transformation facilitates the deep exploration and processing of emotions, leading to profound healing and personal growth.
-
Is NER right for me?At SoulSync Lab Transformation, NEO Emotional Release (NER) is ideal for individuals facing emotional and physical challenges, particularly those rooted in unresolved emotions or past traumas. It is a great fit for those ready to take personal responsibility, connect with their bodies, and confront difficult emotions. However, NER may not be suitable for individuals who are not yet prepared for deep self-exploration or who prefer a purely cognitive approach to therapy. In such cases, traditional talk therapy might be more appropriate. The key factor is the individual's willingness to explore their inner world and embrace the mind-body connection. NER is most effective when participants are open to the process and fully committed to their healing journey.
-
What does a NER session look like?A NEO Emotional Release (NER) session at SoulSync Lab Transformation typically involves a 1.5 to 2-hour immersive experience guided by a trained facilitator.

The session incorporates various techniques, including breathwork, psychosomatic bodywork, expressive breathing, unconscious visualizations, and verbal guidance. The primary focus is on creating a safe space for you to explore, feel, and release suppressed emotions that are ready to surface.

The facilitator provides ongoing support, and sessions may include an integration discussion the following week to help you process and apply your experiences to daily life.

How do I prepare for a session? What do I bring?General Preparation: To maximize the effectiveness of your NEO Emotional Release (NER) session at SoulSync Lab Transformation, it's important to reflect on your physical symptoms, mental patterns, and emotional challenges beforehand. Journaling and setting an intention for the session can also be highly beneficial. Upon booking, you will receive an intake form to assist with this reflection and provide me with the insights needed to prepare for your session. While not required, practicing self-care before the session can help you feel more grounded and connected to your body. Activities such as yoga, breathwork, nature walks, or meditation are recommended. For In-Person Sessions: Arrive a few minutes early to avoid starting the session stressed from the drive. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Consider bringing an eye mask, though one can be provided if needed. Avoid having a heavy meal just before the session; eating light is fine. Feel free to bring any personal items that help you feel safe. Come with an open mindset, free from expectations, but with a willingness to engage deeply in the process. For Online Sessions: Find a comfortable, private space where you won’t be disturbed for 1.5 to 2 hours, and inform anyone you live with. Arrange a comfortable place to lie down, with pillows or a blanket if needed. Ensure you have a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions. Check that your audio is working properly so you can hear and speak clearly, even from your lying position. Make sure your camera is functioning well and positioned so you can be seen comfortably. Use the restroom before the session begins.

How many sessions do I need?The number of sessions required for long-term effects in NEO Emotional Release (NER) at SoulSync Lab Transformation can vary greatly depending on individual needs, the state of your system, and the complexity of the emotional and physical issues being addressed. While a single session can provide immediate relief and valuable insights, allowing you to experience the transformative aspects of NER, deeper and more sustained changes often emerge through ongoing sessions. Multiple sessions help cultivate a cumulative sense of safety and trust between you and the therapist. This evolving relationship fosters a secure space for emotional exploration, facilitating a more profound and lasting impact on your well-being. Each session builds on the previous one, reinforcing a foundation of safety that is crucial for effective emotional release. Consistent engagement offers sustained benefits, including increased emotional connection, clarity, and personal growth over time.

Can NER address both emotional and physical issues? What about chronic illness?NEO Emotional Release (NER) at SoulSync Lab Transformation is designed to address a wide range of issues, including emotional, physical, and chronic illnesses. It's important to note that while many individuals have reported benefits from NER in these areas, as a non-medical practitioner, I am not licensed to diagnose or treat illnesses or make medical claims. However, I can share that the philosophy behind NER is rooted in the understanding that unprocessed emotions and trauma can impact both emotional and physical well-being. The techniques we use are designed to facilitate healing on multiple levels. NER is based on the belief that unprocessed emotions and trauma can become stored in the body, particularly in the fascia, which connects and surrounds muscles, organs, and tissues. These blockages can contribute to tension, pain, and even potentially lead to chronic illnesses. Additionally, these unresolved emotional wounds often manifest as recurring patterns and triggers, such as attracting unhealthy relationships, self-sabotaging behaviors, or addictive tendencies. During NER sessions, we employ various techniques such as psychosomatic bodywork, breathwork, and hypnosis to help clients connect with and release these stored emotions. By addressing the root emotional causes, this therapy aims to alleviate both emotional and physical symptoms and support the body’s natural healing processes.
-
What mental symptoms is NER useful for?NEO Emotional Release (NER) at SoulSync Lab Transformation can support a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, and grief. It is also beneficial for more specific issues like social anxiety, addictive behaviors, and trauma-related symptoms. NER techniques can help individuals navigate entrenched patterns, limiting beliefs, and dysfunctional attachment styles that may hinder personal relationships, growth, and overall well-being. Those struggling with low self-esteem, anger management issues, or phobias may also find relief through NER sessions. It's important to emphasize that while NER can be a valuable tool in addressing these mental symptoms, it is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. For severe conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, individuals should seek guidance from a psychiatrist or qualified mental health professional.
-
Can NER be beneficial if I don't have any specific physical or emotional symptoms?NEO Emotional Release (NER) at SoulSync Lab Transformation can be highly beneficial for personal development, even in the absence of specific physical or emotional symptoms. Here’s how: Enhanced Self-Awareness: Engaging in NER allows individuals to explore their inner world, fostering a deeper understanding of their emotions, thought patterns, and underlying beliefs.

Breaking Limiting Patterns: Even without obvious symptoms, individuals may carry subtle limiting beliefs or behavioral patterns that hinder personal development. NER helps uncover and release these subtle barriers, enabling a more expansive and fulfilling life. Stress Reduction: Everyday stressors and life challenges can accumulate, impacting mental well-being. NER offers a proactive approach to releasing stress, promoting mental clarity, resilience, and a more balanced emotional state. Improved Emotional Resilience: Building emotional resilience is essential for navigating life’s uncertainties.

-
Is NER science-based or a spiritual practice?NEO Emotional Release (NER) at SoulSync Lab Transformation is an integrative approach that combines insights from both western science-based modalities and spiritual holistic practices. Grounded in principles from psychology, neuroscience, trauma therapy, polyvagal theory, psychosomatics, and osteopathy, NER bridges the gap between mental health issues and physical symptoms. While rooted in scientific findings, NER also incorporates elements that align with spiritual practices, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul. This blended approach aims to offer a comprehensive and inclusive understanding of emotional healing, accommodating diverse perspectives on well-being. One way to explain this is through the concept of transrationalism, which acknowledges that emotional healing extends beyond purely rational or logical processes. In NER, practitioners recognize the complexity of human emotions and the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Rather than relying solely on cognitive approaches, NER embraces intuitive understanding, spirituality, and holistic perspectives to address deep-seated emotional tensions.
-
Is it suitable for children and teens?NEO Emotional Release (NER) at SoulSync Lab Transformation can be highly beneficial for children and teens, addressing emotional imbalances that young individuals may experience. It helps them process difficult emotions, improve self-esteem, and enhance overall well-being. Sessions for children are tailored to be age-appropriate, ensuring that the approach is suitable for their developmental stage. For young children, it is often beneficial to work with the parents as well. Children frequently mirror the emotional states of their parents, so by addressing the parents' emotional needs, it can positively impact the child's emotional well-being. Additionally, parents can learn techniques to support their child's emotional development outside of therapy sessions, creating a supportive environment for continued growth.

Can Emotional Release help individuals heal from (childhood) trauma? (PTSD/CPTSD)NEO Emotional Release (NER) at SoulSync Lab Transformation has shown promising results in helping individuals heal from childhood trauma. By addressing the emotional imprints of trauma stored in the body, NER assists in processing and releasing deep-seated emotional tension associated with past traumatic experiences. It is important to emphasize that while many people find NER beneficial for healing, it is not a replacement for traditional therapy or psychiatry, especially in cases of serious mental disorders. As a non-medical practitioner, I am not qualified to diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions. Individuals experiencing severe trauma-related symptoms should seek professional help from qualified mental health professionals who specialize in trauma therapy. NER can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan under the guidance of a trained therapist or counselor. Here’s how NEO Emotional Release can effectively address and heal trauma: Trauma-Informed Approach: NER adopts a trauma-informed approach, recognizing the profound impact of past experiences on an individual’s present well-being. This compassionate framework honors each person’s unique journey and supports healing. Exploration of the Subconscious: NER sessions delve into the subconscious mind, allowing individuals to explore and release emotions and memories from childhood. This exploration helps in understanding how past trauma influences current emotions and behaviors. Visualization exercises can help reframe traumatic memories, create new associations, and foster a sense of safety and empowerment. Integration of Body and Mind: Acknowledging the body’s role in storing traumatic memories, NER employs bodywork and osteopathic techniques to release tension and trauma. This comprehensive approach facilitates deeper healing that addresses both physical and emotional aspects. Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Inner Child Work: NER incorporates principles from Internal Family Systems therapy to address internal dynamics shaped by trauma. By working with internal parts and reconnecting with the inner child—the vulnerable self that experienced trauma—individuals can heal fragmented aspects of their psyche, fostering integration and wholeness. Release of Repressed Emotions: NER provides a safe and supportive environment for expressing and releasing repressed emotions related to trauma. This process of emotional catharsis facilitates healing and paves the way for greater emotional freedom and well-being. Interrupting Patterns & Negative Beliefs: Childhood trauma can create persistent negative patterns and beliefs. NER helps interrupt these patterns by addressing the root emotions, enabling individuals to reframe their understanding of past events and develop healthier perspectives. Building Resilience: Healing from childhood trauma involves building emotional resilience. NER supports this process by empowering individuals to confront and process difficult emotions, fostering resilience to cope with life's challenges.
-
Does NER replace conventional therapy or prescribed medication?No, NEO Emotional Release (NER) does not replace conventional therapy or prescribed medication. Conventional therapy, including talk therapy or psychotherapy, and prescribed medications serve distinct roles in mental health treatment. They may address specific psychological conditions, provide coping strategies, or manage symptoms through medication. NER, while holistic, is not a substitute for these established therapeutic interventions. Individuals considering NER should consult with their healthcare professionals to determine the most suitable and effective combination of therapies for their unique needs. It's crucial to maintain open communication with healthcare providers and explore integrated approaches to well-being while respecting existing therapeutic plans and medications.
-
Is it safe to receive a NER session while pregnant, and what benefits can it have?Yes, it is generally safe to receive a Neo Emotional Release (NER) session while pregnant. However, it is important to inform me about your pregnancy, so that I can tailor the session to ensure both your safety and comfort. Benefits of NER during pregnancy include: Emotional Support: Pregnancy can bring a wide range of emotions. NER helps in managing and processing these emotions, providing a sense of calm and emotional balance. Stress Reduction: The techniques used in NER can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and overall well-being, which is beneficial for both the mother and the baby.

Neck Tension:
Uncovering Hidden Emotions
The neck is a highly sensitive area that can feel stiff and painful not just from physical strain but from underlying emotions like fear and anger.
It serves as a significant indicator of our fear surrounding communication and the expression of our true thoughts and emotions.
​
Acting as a conduit between the head and heart, the neck determines whether our voice is empowered or stifled.
Often, neck tension reflects unspoken words and the suppression of various emotions such as joy, sadness, lust, or anger.
This suppression is typically rooted in a fear of conflict, rejection, or judgment, which leads to an inability to authentically speak our truth.
​
Specific neck muscles tend to tighten when we feel judged or mistreated by individuals we perceive as having authority over us. This can trace back to conflicts with figures of authority in childhood, which later might manifest in struggles with teachers, bosses, or other authority figures.
​
Neck tension may indicate an internal dynamic where one feels like a victim, misunderstood, and constantly battling for acknowledgment and understanding. Many individuals struggle with identities built on people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, or hiding their true selves, reinforcing the body's tendency to constrict further.
​
Continuously suppressing these emotions not only depletes our physical energy but also perpetuates a cycle of victim mentality.
While temporary relief can be found through methods like stretching or massage, true resolution requires addressing the root emotional causes behind the suppression.
This involves acknowledging and expressing the feelings and situations that contribute to this pattern.
​
Take a moment to reflect on:
-
What words are you holding back, and how is this affecting your neck?
-
In what ways are you caught in cycles of feeling undervalued, disrespected, and judged?
