When Symptoms Speak: How Emotional Release Technique Helps Your Body Feel Heard
You’ve cleaned up your diet. You’ve fine-tuned your supplements. You’re moving your body and prioritising sleep — but something still feels... off.
Fatigue. Brain fog. A gut that just won’t settle. Tight shoulders. That “on edge” feeling you can’t shake.
If you’ve been told everything’s “fine” but know in your bones it’s not, this might surprise you:
Your symptoms could be emotional signals in disguise.
Emotions Don’t Just Live in Your Head
Emerging research is showing what many traditional healing systems have long believed: our bodies store emotion. That lump in your throat, that pit in your stomach, that shoulder that just won’t release? They might be clues.
When emotions like grief, resentment, fear or unprocessed stress go unacknowledged, they don’t vanish — they embed. Over time, these “stuck” feelings can create real physical tension and symptoms.
So, What is Emotional Release Technique (ERT)?
ERT is a gentle yet powerful way to explore and release emotional patterns that may be playing a role in your symptoms. It’s not counselling, and it’s not talk therapy. It’s a structured, body-aware process that helps you:
Acknowledge what’s been buried
Identify emotional “triggers” stored in the nervous system
Gently shift stuck patterns to restore flow and ease
Some clients feel lighter, clearer, and more energised. Others describe ERT as the thing that helped them finally break through a long-standing block.
Who is it For?
ERT is for anyone who:
Feels emotionally “full” or stuck but can’t quite access the release
Has tried all the physical stuff (diet, sleep, supplements) but still feels unwell
Is recovering from grief, heartbreak, stress or trauma
Wants to feel more like themselves again — emotionally, physically, energetically
Book a Session
You can book ERT as a standalone appointment
Or add it to your next naturopathy consultation
Available in-person in the Coffs Harbour (Sapphire Beach) clinic or online via Zoom sessions
(Choose ‘Emotional Release Technique’ or select ‘Add ERT to Appointment’ when booking.)
Sometimes, the shift you need isn’t in a supplement bottle — it’s in your nervous system.
And sometimes, all it takes is a safe space to feel what’s ready to be felt.
