Course description

From optimization practices using neuro-meditation to clinical practices in addictions and post traumatic stress disorder, alpha-theta neurotherapy has taken on many forms and found broad-based utility across a spectrum of practices. This course lays the foundation for the original research-based intervention, explores the underpinnings that gave rise to its success and provides clinicians with a practical skills approach to facilitation.

From this base, the course also explores how this therapy continues to evolve. Beyond the theoretical, the course aims to provide participants with hands-on, practical exercises to help them become confident in facilitating these experiences.
