New to Emotion Code®?

Start here. We’ll keep it simple.

If you have never heard of the Emotion Code® before, you are in the right place.

You do not need any experience with energy work, muscle testing, or emotional healing.

We will start from the very beginning.

Why Was the Emotion Code® Created?

We all experience emotions — sadness, anger, fear, rejection, grief.

Usually, we feel an emotion and it passes.

But sometimes it doesn’t fully go away.

The event may be over, but the emotion may still affect how we feel today.

Sadness may keep us feeling sad.

Anger may keep showing up as anger or irritation.

Fear may keep us feeling afraid or unsafe.

Rejection may make us especially sensitive to being rejected again.

And often, we don’t even know we’re still carrying it.

This is why the Emotion Code® was created — to help find and release emotional baggage we may still be carrying.

So, What Is the Emotion Code®?

The Emotion Code® is a method created by Dr. Bradley Nelson.

Its purpose is simple:

Find trapped emotions → release them.

But what exactly is a trapped emotion?

What Is a Trapped Emotion?

A trapped emotion is an emotion from a past experience that didn’t fully let go.

The experience may have happened yesterday — or many years ago.

You may remember it.

Or you may have completely forgotten it.

But the emotion may still be there.

How Can a Trapped Emotion Affect Me?

A trapped emotion may continue to affect how you feel and react.

Sadness may make you feel sad.

Anger may make you more easily irritated.

Fear may make you feel afraid or unsafe.

Rejection may make you afraid of being rejected again.

Sometimes the reaction feels much bigger than the situation in front of you.

And you may wonder:

“Why do I feel this way?”

The answer may be connected to something you experienced long ago.

If I Don’t Know It’s There, How Do We Find It?

You don’t have to remember everything that happened to you.

The Emotion Code® uses muscle testing to look for trapped emotions.

Think of it as a way of asking your body simple yes-or-no questions.

One question at a time, we narrow it down until we identify the emotion.

What Is Muscle Testing?

Muscle testing is a technique used to look for a yes-or-no response from the body.

We might start with:

“Is there a trapped emotion we can work with?”

If the answer is yes, we continue asking questions until we identify it.

You do not need to know the answer yourself.

What Happens When We Find the Emotion?

Once the emotion is identified, we check whether we need any more information about it.

Sometimes we do.

Sometimes we don’t.

Then we use the Emotion Code® release technique to release the emotion.

And then we check again.

Do I Have to Talk About Painful Experiences?

No.

You do not have to tell me your whole story.

You do not have to explain every painful experience.

And you do not have to relive something you do not want to relive.

Sometimes we can identify and work with an emotion without knowing the whole story behind it.

Can We Find Emotions From a Long Time Ago?

Yes.

Sometimes an emotion may be connected to something recent.

Sometimes it may be connected to childhood.

And sometimes the Emotion Code® identifies emotions from even earlier periods.

You do not have to remember when it started for us to explore it.

How Can a Session Work Remotely?

You do not have to be in the same room with me.

Emotion Code® sessions can be done remotely using proxy muscle testing.

I do the muscle testing on your behalf while we work with your emotions.

You can simply relax.

What Do I Need to Do?

Very little.

You do not need to understand muscle testing.

You do not need experience with energy work.

You do not need to meditate.

And you do not need to know which emotions you are carrying.

That is what we explore together.

Do I Have to Believe in It?

No.

You do not have to convince yourself of anything.

You can simply be curious.

Ask questions.

See how the process feels for you.

You can come exactly as you are.

Still Have Questions?

That is completely okay.

If all of this is new to you, you do not have to understand everything at once.

That is why I created this page.

And if you would rather talk about it, we can start with a simple conversation — no pressure and no commitment.
