Evoking a healing response…

Evoking a healing response… Once in awhile a client, either a child or an adult, will not return to neurofeedback training after experiencing what they see (or their parents see) as a side effect of the training.  In truth, given that we never ever push the brain whatsoever, the brain is MOVING THROUGH a block that has been there, usually the reason why they came in for help in the first place.  This is a healing response (remember neuroplasticity) and has been known my humans for thousands of years- though today, much of allopathic medicine tries to suppress symptoms rather than help support the immune system to strengthen itself by going through the response and thus building immunity.

I recall so clearly a client telling me, ”I don”t want to go back to the past”, when in fact this unresolved issue that she had obviously been carrying around for years and which caused her tremendous anxiety (the reason she came to see me in the first place), was ready to be digested and assimilated so that she could live a fuller and happier life- but she saw it differently.

 

Stopping too soon…

I get a call from Jack’s mother (not his real name) after only 2 sessions saying that they are canceling his sessions.  He experienced a bit of depression which is why they brought him in originally.  I had explained to them before we started that, although very rare, some people will experience an exacerbation in symptoms that are in their repertoire already.  But the difference is that with NeurOPTIMAL, folks will move through these old symptoms rather then cycle through over and over.  NeurOPTIMAL targets turbulance that the brain is producing based on overload.
