Relax. Reboot. Revitalize.
Software Targeting your Heart Rate Variability (Sleep, Anxiety, PTSD, Health & Wellness) BrainTap’s neuro-algorithm produces brainwave training — the synchronization of brainwaves to a specialized sound — with no user effort. Using this matrix of neuro-activity, each of BrainTap’s sessions is encoded differently to ensure maximum neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, resulting in a flexible and resilient brain.
Measure HRV, sympathetic and parasympathetic response, psycho-emotional state, and adaptation receptivity. Diagnostic Device used for measuring heart rate variability. This technology checks for a variety of neurological responses such as, sympathetic and parasympathetic response, psycho-emotional state, and adaptation receptivity.
Heart & Mind Coherence
The Inner Balance™ Trainer teaches techniques to manage stress, revitalize energy, and restore mental and emotional balance and resilience. Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which indicates how emotional states affect your nervous system and how you feel.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Equipment
EMDR is an extensively researched integrative psychotherapy proven "gold standard" for trauma treatment. EMDR utilizes eye movements, bi-lateral sound or pulsations to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain. Traumatic memories are stored in parts of the brain where they can’t be processed then images, sounds and emotions related to the memory become “frozen in time.” EMDR “unfreezes” these memories, as this occurs, the memory loses its emotional charge and becomes less distressing.
NeurOptimal & BrainAvitar (QEEG)
"NFT is a branch of BFT that provides real-time displays using an electroencephalograph (EEG), as opposed to an electromyograph (EMG), heart rate variability (HRV), skin temperature, or other psychophysiological measures. An electroencephalograph monitors brain electrical activity (e.g., brainwaves), while an electromyograph detects muscle action potentials from skeletal muscles. These modalities differ in the signals they detect, process, and display (Collura, 2014). The goals of this process are to: (1) ensure correct regulatory function in the brain's neuromodulating systems (2) encourage global neuropsychophysiological change (3) correct specific, distinct, identifiable disorders or barriers to optimal performance that result from underlying dysregulation (4) enhance performance by optimizing nervous system functioning.
This article delves into the integration of military planning principles, specifically the PACE plan (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency), with therapeutic techniques for resilience. It discusses how elements like memory reconsolidation, cognitive shifting, and bodily awareness can be combined with PACE to create a structured approach to handling life's unpredictabilities. Through examples and comparisons with therapeutic modalities like TF-CBT and conditioning, it provides a step-by-step guide for individuals to establish strong support systems, develop backup strategies, plan for contingencies, and create emergency action plans. The goal is to equip readers with a comprehensive and adaptable framework for managing stress and enhancing resilience in various life scenarios.
Welcome to a journey of self-discovery and personal growth through the lens of ancient Greek philosophy. In this article and exercise series, we'll explore fundamental concepts from Socratic wisdom to Stoicism and beyond, offering actionable questions for introspection and mindful exploration. Part I focuses on core principles like knowing oneself, cultivating virtues, and living authentically, while Part II delves into eudaimonia, rational decision-making, and the pursuit of meaningful work. Let's embark on a quest for wisdom and fulfillment inspired by the wisdom of the ancient Greeks.
In the realm of modern counseling and psychotherapy, the pursuit of living authentically has become a central theme. At the heart of this endeavor are ancient Greek philosophical concepts, deeply intertwined with existential ideas that emphasize the importance of authenticity in one's life. These foundational principles, originating from the wisdom of Greek philosophers, have paved the way for evidenced-based therapies that seek to guide individuals towards a more genuine and fulfilling existence. In this article, we delve into the rich tapestry of Greek and existential concepts, exploring their roots and how they are applied in contemporary counseling practices, ultimately aiming to help individuals lead lives that are true to their inner selves.
