About this Workshop

Alpha-Theta neurotherapy has a long research base and many applications. But just what is it? This workshop provides a foundation for understanding in diverse applications -- from addiction recovery, to trauma processing to neuro-meditation. Regardless of the goal, the workshop, provides practical pointers and gives participants an opportunity to explore A/T neurofeedback with hands-on experience. Research outlines the utility of this approach well, but the implementation of A/T neurotherapy is varied across platforms and documented methods do not commonly help the therapist learn how to set up and facilitate the therapy while avoiding abreactions. Identifying alpha-theta crossovers and learning how to facilitate them according to the therapist's practice is key to success. The workshop will place a particular emphasis on trauma-informed facilitation; individuals may come to the practice with optimal performance intentions, but along the way discover unprocessed content, which facilitators need to be prepared to identify and process. Finally, helping the facilitator track the training and process the experience with the client is a critical part of this method. Participants will leave with a framework and resources for A/T facilitation, a deeper understanding of impactful practice, and thought-out guard rails learning to avoid negative effects.
