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.

The workshop starts with the precise assessment procedures that determine treatment strategies. The combinations of treatment options including neurofeedback, braindriving, AVS, CES, energy psychology methods, craniosacral manipulations, harmonic sounds, electrostimulation, EMF stimulation and behavior therapies appropriate for a wide range of disorders are presented in detail so practitioners can immediately apply these efficient techniques. Conditions that require full QEEG and data base procedures will be identified as will conditions in which the more aggressive treatments are contraindicated.

Materials provided will include detailed procedures for the rapid assessment protocol, site location forms for acupuncture meridians, and procedure sheets for energy routines. Hands-on training for some craniosacral manipulations, acustimulation and energy routines is provided. This workshop is presented in response to many requests from previous participants in shorter workshops for one full day of training in these effective neurotherapeutic techniques.
