EMDR
(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy)
During a traumatic experience your body is in survival mode, therefore it does not process the disturbing experience as you are focused on getting through it. Due to the memory being unprocessed the negative emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and physical sensations that occurred at the time of the event are stored within your body.
EMDR focuses directly on changing the way the memory is stored in the brain, reducing, and eliminating the problematic symptoms.
To process your traumatic experiences you have the option of choosing the light bar, pulsators or head phones.
Ages 16 +
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is exercise for your brain. It trains your brain by monitoring your brain waves and providing feedback to your central nervous system about what it is doing. When the software detects a shift in your brain pattern the music you are listening to glitches, encouraging your brain to reset and self correct. It promotes brain health and self-regulation.
The number and frequency of sessions can vary on the individuals needs and goals, but long-term benefits are often observed with consistent practice. Research notes individuals notice changes within 6-13 sessions.
