AAT USES AN EVALUATION METHOD THAT ASSESSES DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR
IN THE BODY
The AAT treatment uses a dedicated and specialized stress assessment that allows practitioners to determine whether any organ system in the body is responding defensively to a specific stimulus/substance.
AAT’s evaluation method is completely painless and is carried out in person. The practitioner applies exposure of a digital representation of the stimuli directly to the client’s skin using a dedicated arm cuff, and then determines with a stress assessment if there is a presence or absence of defensive responses in targeted muscle groups.
Skin and muscles are subject to this type of assessment because they are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, which is the body’s primary defense system.
When a stimulus is perceived as threatening, the muscle momentarily freezes, followed by an immediate fight-or-flight response. During the stress assessment, an AAT practitioner can assess the change in muscle reaction and evaluate whether the stimulus is perceived as a threat or not, based on the results of the test. If harmless substances like chocolate, pollen, or soy trigger a defensive response in the muscles, the body is misinterpreting these harmless stimuli as threats and the muscle becomes weakened.
Directly following the completion of an AAT treatment, the practitioner can immediately reassess the muscle’s response and determine whether the body has returned to a normal response to the harmless stimulus it had previously perceived as a threat. The change in perception of the stimulus is immediate.
