5-NET vs EMDR: A Gentler Way to Heal a Lifetime of Trauma

EMDR is powerful, but many adults need something less intense.

Discover 5-NET — the method that quietly rewires decades of pain, often in just a few sessions.

Dr. Eric Gentry's CCTP booklet

With 5-NET, we gently walk your life story together—one memory at a time—or treat multiple similar traumatic experiences in one session.

No flooding. You stay safe. And after the first processed memory, most people say, “Wait… the flashback is gone... I can talk about it now, and it doesn't bother me... I notice I feel better already, etc.”

EMDR is wonderful for many.

But if you’ve ever thought, “I have too much trauma for that,” 5-NET was made for you.

Want to know if 5-NET or WET is right for your story?
