Extra bonus when you order by midnight tonight

At the end of “How to Work with the Traumatized Brain,” Bessel van der Kolk MD suggests neurofeedback as a very effective treatment for trauma. In this special bonus, Sebern Fisher MA will explain how neurofeedback works and how it can foster a self-regulating brain that reduces the impact of trauma . . .

Why Neurofeedback Can Be a Game-Changer for Trauma Patients

 

  • How the brain’s “reward signals” can be optimized to create a calmer nervous system
  • How neurofeedback ignites three neural tasks that promote healthier brain functioning
  • How a brain with PTSD can be trained to be more stress- resilient
  • Why a neurofeedback-trained brain might be better prepared to face new trauma
  • How neurofeedback helps regulate a fear-driven brain (and reduce anxiety, depression and pain)

Starting Today, This Program Can Change the Way You Practice

Bessel's comments on single incident trauma vs. longterm childhood neglect were poignant and important.

“I was particularly taken with Bessel’s commentary on the importance of engaging people in somatic-based exercises and interventions (regulating heart rate variability, touch, yoga, meditation) as a way of managing trauma. His comments about the impact of single incident traumas vs. long term childhood neglect, were also poignant and important for me to have heard.”

Paul Darby, LPC

The kind of practitioner that I want sitting on my shoulders during sessions . . .

“It was fascinating to hear Bessel van der Kolk speak with such humility and authority. It is reassuring to have such a practical and real approach to supporting children who experience trauma. He is the kind of practitioner that I want sitting on my shoulder during sessions with children.”

Janet Wilde, Psychotherapeutic Counselor
England

Thank you again for another rich exploration of the human landscape.

“Thank you again for another rich exploration of the human landscape and in particular when it is affected by trauma. The thing that I appreciated the most is the expansion of the approach through the key of touch, movement and breathing to the body/mind . . . Thank you again for your inspiring and compassionate work.” was very reinforcing. Bessel put together so many things so eloquently and with humor and humility . . . Thank you.”

Your Colleagues Are Already Benefiting from This Training

The importance of rhythm, of sensory experience, and of touch . . .

“As a counselor who works primarily with clients who have been through trauma and neglect, I’ve seen how profound the impact of these things can be . . . I like that Bessel van der Kolk discusses the importance of rhythm, of sensory experience, and of touch. I’ve learned that it’s often useful to ease clients into these things gradually, as feeling their own bodies or noticing their own breathing can be foreign territory at first, or even frightening!”

Michaela Lonning, Counselor
Corvallis, Oregon

As a psychiatrist . . . this was very reinforcing.

“As a psychiatrist who does psychotherapy and teaches patients meditation this was very reinforcing. Bessel put together so many things so eloquently and with humor and humility . . . Thank you.”

Larry Drell, MD

So simple in a way, but with such HUGE ramifications.

“I thought this webinar was GREAT! His focus on the more “OT” body kinds of treatment struck me as right on, and I am looking forward to my field, and all connected fields, focusing on this aspect more. So simple in a way, but with such HUGE ramifications. I loved his clarity and honesty.”

Jordana Raiskin, LCSW
