Harmonizing the Brain and Body for a Happier Life

SERIES 16

Webinar

February 22, 2023
12:00 pm ET

Description

We will delve into an evolving paradigm for working with human beings who have suffered from emotional, physical, psychological, and developmental trauma; have neurological issues including seizures, migraines, head injuries, and information processing differences; and evidence the array of “mental illness” including anxiety, and depression using neuro enhancement approaches such as neuro-entrainment and neurofeedback training. We also will address environmental effects on the brain, body, and ultimately the behavioral manifestations of underlying issues.

Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to explain what “out of control” also known as challenging behaviors really means.

2. Participants will be able to plan for a variety of interventions geared to support a person to have control and be able to modulate their challenging behaviors

3. Participants will be able to implement holistic principles around neuro-regulation to individuals with dual diagnosis and complex needs

 

Host: Tim Barksdale
