What is neurotherapy?
Neurotherapy is a combination of Neurofeedback and 1:1 Sessions. When explored in conjunction with one another we are often able to identify and neutralize root causes of dysfunction within the system.
Part of the subconscious and psyche’s job is to protect us and keep us ‘safe’ from perceived threats. This ‘safety’ response often activates a state of arousal within, which activates the fight or flight response. This response is only intended to briefly be activated so that we can remove ourself from danger. However when we experience something traumatic, or our body is fighting an illness, or had an illness, we grew up in a stressful environment, endured abuse, we have a particularly demanding job, loss, etc this response becomes the dominant program running the show. We begin to not even notice, instead we adapt so that we can carry on. Overtime this has a major impact on our physiological, mental and emotional states. We become professionals at looking away from the very things that are the driving forces within. Often one will have a natural response to disassociate, distract, shut down, numb out, develop addictions, become high achievers as a way to cope, which in turn suppress’s not only the experience itself, but the systems within that were impacted all along. Overtime this is often expressed as physical manifestation/illness within the body, mental illness, emotional overwhelm or inability to feel emotions at all , chronic states of stress, depression and an underlying feeling of just not feeling like yourself.
Neurofeedback used in conjunction with a interdisciplinary approach offered with 1:1 support has proven to be highly effective in expressing, processing, releasing and healing the parts of ourselves that we have unconsciously or perhaps even consciously kept hidden within the depths of ourselves and have been subconsciously determining how we show up in our lives. This is navigated in a gentle way which neutralizes the clients activated ‘stress' response’ so that resiliency is strengthened surrounding events or experiences that caused the response.
