Let me first share what a QNRT session with me looks like. In the hour I am working with a client, we spend 20 minutes checking in to see how they’re feeling (therapy), several minutes of me using a cold laser along with muscle testing and the QNRT protocol to find the particular trauma that their body wants to release, me sharing the age and emotions that were found during my testing, and then the client and I working together, using muscle testing, to determine what situation or event these emotions correlate to. I am very specific in finding the meaning behind all of the emotions that surface because the client learns so much about themselves and their patterns. I will also ask them how this past trauma and emotions might relate to what is going on in their life currently. I’d say 85% of the time there is a connection and it’s powerful for them to understand how their past trauma is surfacing today.
We then process the emotions that QNRT presented, I will put words to their trauma and they edit it if needed (they take this information with them), and then the last 5 minutes of the session I do a QNRT reset which includes resetting a point on a particular brain lobe, as well as their nervous system, hypothalamus and cranial nerves. I will give the client homework they can do after the session so that they stay conscious of what they are shifting in their life and also stimulating the new neural pathway QNRT created. QNRT works perfectly without doing the homework, think of it as ‘bonus extra credit’.
What you’re going to read below is the age, emotions and subsequent trauma that was found using the QNRT protocol and the client’s explanation of how the QNRT reset shifted them.
Background: Liana came to me after trying to take her life repeated times and couldn’t find any relief or results after years of talk-level therapy and medications. She was emotionally shut down, in an abusive relationship, hated her career and felt she was broken.
Over the last 3 years, Liana has transformed her life in profound ways. She recently traveled out of the country for an advanced yoga teacher training, has been in healthy relationships and has felt drawn to do art again. She now has a sparkle in her eye and her heart is full of love. She is also learning how to care for herself emotionally and physically which has been an important journey.
She wanted to share 4 of her resets that were especially impactful for her. You’ll notice that it’s her words explaining each reset and what it meant to her.
QNRT Reset Example 1: Age 17 – Releasing fear, disgust with a situation, resistance, things I don’t want
“This reset was about my experience with doing drugs and having a horrible trip and falling into a deep, existential depression that lasted for years. I deeply questioned my own existence, God, humanity, and life itself. It was incredibly terrifying and radically changed my daily life. I remember waking up the next morning and staring at my ceiling with the most utterly empty feeling of hope and despair that I’ve ever known, and at such an early age. It was a fear I had never known. I pulled slowly away from friends, family, people in general and crawled into a dark, dark hole.
This reset was one of the most important and profound for two reasons. First, it was one of the few physical reactions I had with a reset. I excreted immediately after the session which was the old toxins that were stored from this trauma. (Maggie has taught me that it’s medically validated that toxins are released after trauma work.) Secondly, this reset allowed me to let go of those doubting beliefs about God, life, and people. I let go of the constant questioning of WHY. I remember that night of doing drugs and in my head I kept psychotically repeating “WHY?” over and over again.
This reset helped me release all of this vague doubt and confusion. I also felt incredibly positive afterwards because I no longer felt I had to hold on to that lost 17-year-old girl I still identified with and very much held on to. In many of my depressive episodes in the years after, I would return to this young girl and her worries and fears, because I felt that I knew her so well, I was comfortable with her. But all that comfort in darkness was holding me back. This reset released her.”
QNRT Reset Example 2: Age 11 – Releasing a lack of confidence, withholding love, unlovable, fear
“This reset was about my releasing the fear that nobody would love me at age 11 because I felt ugly, awkward, and not confident with how my body was changing. Also, I released a very deep, long-term pattern of withholding love from myself. This was an incredibly positive and impactful reset for me. That age was the most significant for determining my self-concept, self-image, and confidence and my trauma around this shaped my low self-worth and self-esteem in my teenage years that lasted well into my 20’s and beyond.
All of this was a catalyst for destruction—in behaviors, habits, men—seeking love and validations in incredibly unhealthy ways. I felt so deeply the positive impacts of this reset immediately! Embracing my divine feminine was something I had been trying to do for the past few years. But something was always holding me back from tapping into it.
Now, after this reset, I saw it was this trauma that started so early at age 11. Today, I feel so embodied by my beautiful feminine energy, so comforted by my body. I carry myself differently around others, my creativity has skyrocketed with art and writing, and my inner self talk is so much more loving.”
QNRT Reset Example 3: Age 25 – Healing the feeling of resentful, disappointment, loss and like her current situation defined her
“This reset was about law school and letting go of pursuing a career in law simply because that is my background. I released trauma around age 25 of feeling lost and allowing myself to be pushed into law, as well as influenced by society’s expectation. I also released a lot of internalized pain of feeling like I HAD to go to law school because I didn’t allow myself to say no and explore other options.
This reset was significant and positive, not only because I no longer feel any mental or emotional pressure to go back into a work field I disliked and is not aligned with me. It also radically shifted my perspective on my desire to do what others expected of me. There was a lot of forgiveness in this reset. I forgave myself deeply for not knowing what other options to explore, for not having the tools or support to do so, and for not having the courage to do so. I realized how scared I was at 25 to be my own person and figure out what my values in life were. This reset was recent, but was very significant because I feel I stepped into my own power in taking control of my life regarding work, vocation, and career focus.”
QNRT Reset Example 4: Age 31 – Healing the feeling of disappointment, used, not confident, not being able to trust others especially those I love, and fear
“This reset was around the trauma of not listening to my body and taking care of her. This trauma was at age 31 when I experienced very scary, out of control, and debilitating health symptoms. With this trauma, I carried around a lot of disappointment that I was not taking care of myself and shame that I didn’t choose to when I knew, deep down, that I should. I did not treat my body well and this reset helped me realize that I didn’t quite see that my body was a separate entity of love, in a sense.
Before this reset, I didn’t view my body as its own precious gift. It positively shifted my mindset to subconsciously make the right, helpful choices for my body and health and ones that make me FEEL good! And, to lean into that feeling of goodness. I remember waking up the morning after this reset and doing all the little things that are good for myself without hesitation or questioning—sunshine, vitamins, water, a good meal, and just feeling deep gratitude for absolutely everything :)”
Liana’s Response about QNRT Therapy: “QNRT has singlehandedly changed my life. More than any other therapeutic method or external support system. I’ve been in and out of talk therapy and on various medications for over 25 years and before starting QNRT I was sure of one thing, I hated TALKING about my feelings. Mostly, because I didn’t understand them or why and how I was experiencing all of the emotional highs and lows. It was not only a sigh of relief that I didn’t have to talk, but also that I didn’t have to know WHAT I wanted to talk about—because that isn’t necessary for the healing to occur.
In my experience, what I think will come up during a session, or even what I feel like I want to talk about, is not often the subject of a reset. This doesn’t make it harder, but more powerful. And, I feel a deeper sense of relief in the aftermath. I find the emotion/situation that my body presents in QNRT often reflects what I’m going through in life currently. It’s not obvious to the logical brain, but only to the heart. This was something I didn’t realize in the beginning stages, but again, I didn’t have to know why or even how.
I started QNRT as an even more analytical and brain-centered person than I am now. I have to say one of the biggest gifts QNRT has given me is to step out of this and into my heart—to lead with it and to trust it, because that’s where all of our true emotions come from. With each session, I’m able to see more and more how my brain, and ego, have produced the fear, anxiety, depression, worry, doubt, shame, and guilt that I suffered from for so many years.
Every session is a new story of my life and without knowing how to talk about it, understand it, or even remember all of the details, I release the trauma that my body, mind, and heart have harbored for many years. Some are from childhood, but the most impactful stories have been in the last decade or so. I feel this is because what I absorbed as a child, I put into actions and habits later in life. The trauma became my life patterns. These were destructive and harmful and created the cycles of relationships and choices I was trying to break.
QNRT can sometimes feel intensely emotional for the 30 minutes or so when I am processing the story of the trauma, but this emotional discomfort is eased at the end of the session when the resetting of the brain happens. This is where Maggie has been a true gift. I’ve never felt more safe, secure, and encouraged to express or even experience any emotion than in her presence during a session. The support in the ability to feel is something that every human should be encouraged to learn as a child. Sadly, that is not the case for myself and many others. QNRT, and Maggie, have gifted me one of the most important lessons in life as a human being—the ability to feel emotions authentically, without judgment, and with love.
Depending on the story that comes up in a session, the changes can vary. I’ve had physical releases through the digestive system and my skin. I’ve also had major subconscious shifts that show up in the choices and decisions I make each day, whether that is what I eat or how I spend my time. More specifically, it has shifted my mind to make choices for myself that feel good and are good for me. I don’t doubt or question the nourishing things in life anymore. I’ve also had more conscious changes like the ability to set boundaries with family, removing toxic relationships, being off all medications and stepping out of a career that no longer aligns with me.
What I find amazing is that these shifts feel effortless. I will just begin to show up in a new way and it feels natural. It isn’t something I have to ‘work’ on changing about myself. QNRT does the work. I have chosen to make the effort to change my life, but that felt possible after a specific trauma was healed.”
