Emotion Code sessions online and in Gdańsk
The Emotion Code is a gentle form of energy work in which I identify and release what dr Bradley Nelson calls trapped emotions: the energetic residue of experiences your body and mind never fully processed. A session takes about 45 to 60 minutes, costs 222 zł, and happens online or in person in Gdańsk. It is a good first step if you carry tension, keep meeting the same situation in your relationships, or feel stuck, and you would rather not tell the story of what happened.
What the Emotion Code is
The method was developed by dr Bradley Nelson and set out in his book "The Emotion Code". It is taught by Discover Healing, where I am a certified practitioner.
The idea is straightforward. When something strong happens and the circumstances do not let you finish feeling it, because there is no time, no support or no sense of safety, part of that experience stays in the body as an energetic trace. In the language of the method that trace is a trapped emotion. In Nelson's model such traces can shape how you react, what you expect from people, and where you feel tight.
The work is a matter of naming them one at a time and letting them go. Three tools do the job: a chart of sixty emotions, muscle testing as a way of putting questions to the body, and a magnet drawn along the governing meridian, which runs up the middle of the back and over the head. None of this is a medical diagnosis and none of it replaces medical care. It is an orderly way of asking questions and closing what stayed open.
I look at all of it through the lens of the nervous system, polyvagal-informed. There is more about that on the nervous system page.
What a session looks like
- A short conversation. You say what you are bringing. One or two sentences are plenty, with no detail needed.
- Muscle testing. In person in Gdańsk I test on your arm. Online I use proxy testing, which means that with your consent I test on myself on your behalf. This is standard practice in the method.
- Identification. Step by step I establish which emotion is trapped, roughly what period it comes from, and whether it is yours or inherited.
- Release. I draw a magnet along the governing meridian, doing this by proxy in an online session. You simply sit and breathe.
- A short integration talk. We close the session and I check how you are feeling.
Afterwards you receive a written summary by email or WhatsApp, a list of everything that was released with a little context. You can come back to it a week later and a month later.
For 24 to 48 hours there is a gentle integration period. Some people feel tired, sleepy or more emotional than usual, others notice nothing in particular. Both are normal. Drink more water and keep the day light if you can.
What people bring to a session
- tension and overload, the feeling of constant rush
- difficult relationships with a partner, a parent, a grown child
- feeling stuck, with no movement on something that matters
- low confidence and difficulty asking for what you need
- repeating patterns, the same story with different people
- getting ready for a change: a move, a separation, a new job
- grief and longing after a loss
- fear of speaking in public and of being judged
These are themes people bring, not a promise of outcome. If you are not sure whether yours fits, write to me through the contact page and we can talk it over.
The Heart Wall
In Nelson's model trapped emotions can settle into a layer around the heart, called the Heart Wall. It forms in hard times as a kind of protection and often stays long after it stopped being useful. It is worked with over several sessions, and I describe it in full on the Heart Wall page.
Online or in Gdańsk
Both work the same way. Online we meet on Google Meet, or, if you prefer, I run the session by proxy with no call at all and send you the summary. In person I work in Gdańsk by arrangement. The remote format is described step by step on the online sessions page.
Price
An Emotion Code session costs 222 zł and lasts about 45 to 60 minutes. The first step is a free 15 minute call in which we check whether the method suits you. Everything is listed on the pricing page.
Common questions
Do I have to talk about difficult events?
No. The method works with the body's responses rather than with your account of the past, so you say only as much as you want to. One sentence about what is bothering you now is enough. Sometimes a memory surfaces during a session, but you do not need to describe it or go back into it for the emotion to be released.
How many Emotion Code sessions will I need?
There is no honest way to promise that in advance. Many people book one session and decide afterwards whether to continue. A single narrow topic often takes two or three sessions. Heart Wall work usually runs over two to four. You get a written summary each time, so you can see for yourself what is happening.
How is the Emotion Code different from the Body Code?
The Emotion Code works only with trapped emotions and the Heart Wall. The Body Code is broader, covering six areas of imbalance that the method helps identify, from energies to structure. If your topic is clearly emotional or about a relationship, I usually suggest starting with the Emotion Code. Both sessions cost the same.
Can the Emotion Code be combined with PSYCH-K®?
Yes, and I often work that way, though in separate sessions. The Emotion Code tidies up what is left over from the past, while PSYCH-K® works with a belief you want to carry forward. We agree on the order during the free intro call, depending on what you bring. There is no obligation to use both.
Can I book a session for my child?
Yes. Sessions for children happen with a parent present, or by proxy through the parent, and the parent decides how they run. I describe this on the sessions for children page. During the free call we agree whether your child should be present or whether proxy work will be easier for everyone.
Energy work is a complementary practice and does not replace medical consultation, diagnosis or psychotherapy. If you are in crisis, contact a doctor or your local crisis line.
