Neurotherapy/Neurofeedback and Other Brain Stem Interventions used in Treatment of Complex, Developmental Trauma, and Addiction
Presented by Deidre Stewart, LPC, SEP, BCN
Webinar Description
For over 40 years, The Meadows Model has been treating trauma and addiction, using both Pia Mellody’s Model on Codependency and cutting-edge brain stem interventions. These support individuals as they learn to re-regulate and traverse the autonomic shifts necessary to create healing conditions. Because meaning follows physiology, one of the main goals is to utilize specific therapeutic modalities to interrupt negative feedback loops, including disorganized breathing patterns, thoughts, and brainwave patterns. The state of our nervous system will inform how we organize our experiences and make meaning of our life. Using Brain Stem Interventions, such as Neurofeedback, we work directly with the nervous system to help individuals reorganize subcortical non-conscious survival adaptations. We explore the importance of experiencing the body in the present moment as healing happens in the here-and-now. This presentation will include a description of various neuro therapies utilized, how and why they are used within the context of treatment planning, and a case presentation to demonstrate key concepts.
After this training, attendees will be able to:
Describe Alpha wave importance and two devices that increase the prevalence of this frequency range.
Differentiate two types of brain stems interventions: Infra Low Neurofeedback and Listening/Sound Protocol.
Identify therapeutic benefits of Neurofeedback (NFB) as an ancillary treatment for complex, developmental trauma, and addiction.
