Age related declines in cognitive functioning can be mitigated with neurotherapy focused on Gussying up the alpha response and frequency. Procedures for keeping the brain sharp are presented. Basics for getting started with neurotherapy. Artifact problems and minimization. Rapid assessment and diagnosis procedures. Case presentations demonstrating efficient methods for immediately using neurotherapy in your practices.
Methods for potentiating neurotherapy are very useful for clients who have limited capacity to attend for neurofeedback (e.g., autism) and for clients who are at a therapeutic plateau or barrier. Methods include braindriving, CES, AVS, craniosacral therapy, harmonics and energy techniques.
Neurotherapy is rapidly evolving into a primary care option for many disorders. Problems with mood, anxiety, sleep quality, learning, cognitive processing, pain, addictions, anger management, and age related memory are all amenable to rapid assessment and treatment. The assessment procedures are simple and straight forward involving assessment of a limited number of brain sites. Treatment options other than neurofeedback have been developed to markedly accelerate neurotherapy. These complementary techniques markedly facilitate neurotherapy as a viable primary care alternative to dangerous and often ineffective pharmaceuticals.
Emotional trauma is often revealed in the intake QEEG. The pattern is a blunted or absent alpha response. Behavioral consequences of the blunted alpha include poor memory, anxiety conditions and sleep qualitiy problems. Methods for treating trauma with neurotherapy and emotion al release techniques are presented
Details:
Plenary #144): Has your get-up-and-go got up and gone? Gussying up the EEG for us seniors.. The "dental plan" is the term we use in my clinic for twice yearly visits of "seniors" for brfainbrightening. After the QEEG is normalized and the client is gotten of the senilizing drugs periodic visits to make the alpha responses more efficient are scheduled two or three times per year. Home treatments including cranial electrical stimulation, visual stimulation and harmonic sounds to sustain the gains are also prescribed. Details of the procedures are discussed along with case studies.
EEG Foundations Course #118): Identification and control of artifact, Overview of QuickQ, Case exxamples on rapid diagnosis and treatment A major problem for beginners is the idfentification of artifact and methods for limiting these problems in neurotherapy. Overview of the rapid assessment and diagnosis procedure and review of several adjunctive methods that markedly potentiate neurotherapeutic treatment of many disorders. Case studies showing different distinct patterns found in the QuickQ and therapeutic strategies for rapid treatment of many disorders will be discussed. The use of potentiation techniques for braindriving in neurotherapy will be presented. These techniques are exceptionally useful for clients that lack the capability for volitional neurofeedback protocols. The use of braindriving techniques with HEG as well as EEG for clients such as those with severe autistism who cannot attend to normal neurofeedback will be discussed in case study format.
Workshop #5): Methods for potentiating neurotherapy Although neurofeedback is the primary therapeutic tool, techniques are available for increasing the efficiency and accelerating the process of modifying brain functioning. Many neurotherapists do provide clients with various adjunctive self-administered treatments to facilitate the therapeutic process. These “add ons” include relaxation exercises, self-hypnosis, energy psychology routines, life style modification recommendations, subliminal affirmation devices, cranial microamperage stimulators, audiovisual stimulators and therapeutic harmonics. The reason for prescribing these procedures, of course, is because they are believed to potentiate the therapeutic process.
Pre-Conference #4): Neurotherapy as primary care Neurotherapy is rapidly evolving into a primary care option for many disorders. Problems with mood, anxiety, sleep quality, learning, cognitive processing, pain, addictions, anger management, and age related memory are all amenable to rapid assessment and treatment. The assessment procedures are simple and straight forward involving assessment of a limited number of brain sites. Treatment options other than neurofeedback have been developed to markedly accelerate neurotherapy. These complementary techniques markedly facilitate neurotherapy as a viable primary care alternative to dangerous and often ineffective pharmaceuticals.
Plenary #139): Treatment of emotional trauma When working with Vietnam combat veterans who were beign treated for PTSD I discovered that these veterans had no alpha response. Later when working with clients of all ages and presneting disorders the trauma QEEG signature of absent or blunted alpha was observed in most clients who report an emotional trauma history. The methods for treeating the trauma and dealing with any emotional abreactioons associuated with trauma rfelease i neurotherapy are discussed . Case studies are presented
