This 90-minute webinar will be presented on Friday, July 21, 2023, at 12:00pm eastern time; 11am central time; 9am pacific time

The hypothesis set out here is that this most basic urge to connect is dependent on circuits based in three main components of the brain stem. A clinical approach derived from these hypotheses, Deep Brain Reorienting, is briefly outlined as it provides a way to address the somatic residues of adverse interpersonal interactions underlying relational patterns and also the residual shock and horror of traumatic experiences. It is suggested that the innate alarm system involving the spinal cord and the locus coeruleus can generate a pre-affective shock while an affective shock can arise from excessive stimulation of the periaqueductal gray. Clinically significant residues can be accessed through careful, mindful, attention to orienting-tension-affect-seeking sequences when the therapist and the client collaborate on eliciting and describing them. This presentation will offer an overview of the reactive brain stem, Dr. Corrigan will provide an overview of a relatively new therapeutic approach that targets the brain stem, Deep Brain Re-Orienting.

Presented by Glenn Weiner, PhD

Utilizing home neuromodulation devices will likely be one of the waves of the future. The pandemic has already increased the value of their usage. It is my contention that similar to office-based neurofeedback, success may be more about the clinician’s psychotherapeutic tactics to engage, educate and motivate clients than about the equipment.

There are a number of devices that clients can utilize at home to promote self-regulation. These can be done prior to office training, in combination with office training or as ways to fade clients from office training as part of a treatment termination process. It is caring and responsible for clinicians to have these options in their therapeutic toolbox as they are very cost effective and can be very helpful. They can enable us to help some people who cannot afford the money or the time to make it into the office consistently.

We will review the pros and cons of the various approaches utilizing relatively inexpensive devices. A model for the utilization of peripheral and EEG biofeedback, entrainment and stimulation tools will be presented.

Most people know that it would be good for them to meditate, yet few do. Most clinicians have struggled with getting clients to comply with the suggestion to meditate or develop a self-care practice. We will discuss some possible ways to engage clients that has been helpful in increasing compliance with them developing a self-care practice utilizing neuromodulation devices.

This program, when attended in its entirety, is available for 1 CE hour.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is often referred to as a “window to the soul,” a reflection of thoughts and emotions within the individual in which the heart is contained. And yet, for most heart rate variability biofeedback, a simplistic approach has been developed, practiced and unfortunately, accepted as status quo for the treatment of HRV issues.HRV issues are prevalent in relation to Traumatic Brain Injury and mental health conditions in which anxiety is a major presenting symptom. Also, it appears that the more anxious or afraid of failing that one is, the more likely that person will fail when attempting to breathe to a regimented fashion. So a regimented and paced biofeedback system is particularly distressing to these sufferers. Suppose there was a technique that simultaneously calmed the mind while also providing gentle breathing cues?

The essence of this workshop will be to bring light the way in which the heart’s rhythm is of absolute importance as a guide for counselling and cognitive behavioral techniques, which in themselves, can completely resolve an HRV issue. That being said, the more extreme a mental health condition is, especially that of PTSD, trauma, TBI and the resultant anxiety, the tougher it is to employ traditional HRV biofeedback techniques and the greater the failure rate.Audio-visual Entrainment (AVE) is a technique employing flashing lights within a pair of sunglasses and pulsing tones within a pair of headphones at various brain wave frequencies.

AVE has the exceptional ability to induce deep meditative and parasympathetic states of mind within the user. This workshop will demonstrate a novel and highly effective method involving an AVE-based technique involving a Windows-based “Breathe” app alongside a unique AVE protocol for advanced HRV therapy for the toughest of patients struggling with anxiety. This protocol utilizes the changing of color cues for inspiration and expiration, simultaneously with mind-calming AVE, typically in the alpha brain wave band (although any brain wave band may be chosen).Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is often referred to as a “window to the soul,” a reflection of thoughts and emotions within the individual in which the heart is contained. And yet, for most heart rate variability biofeedback, a simplistic approach has been developed, practiced and unfortunately, accepted as status quo for the treatment of HRV issues.

Specific Learning objectives:

• Assess if HRV reflects a psychological conflict and if a counseling approach should be taken for its treatment.
• Learn how to use the Breathe app for self-calming while on a computer.
• Learn how to use the Spectrum AVE eye set alongside the Breathe app for HRV therapy.

Dave Siever, CET, graduated in 1978 as an engineering technologist. He later worked in the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Alberta designing TMJ Dysfunction related diagnostic equipment and research facilities. He organized research projects, taught basic physiology and the advanced TMJ diagnostics course. Dave had noted anxiety issues in many patients suffering with TMJ dysfunction, prompting him to study biofeedback, which he applied to the patients and then later, Dave designed biofeedback devices.In 1984, Dave designed his first Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) device—the “Digital Audio-Visual Integration Device,” or DAVID1. Since this time, through his company, Mind Alive Inc., Dave has been researching and refining AVE technology specifically for use in relaxation, boosting academic and sports performance and treating anxiety, depression, PMS, ADD/ADHD, FMS, SAD, pain, cognitive decline and insomnia, which he presents about primarily at various conferences and for special interest medical/psychology groups.

In 2015, Dave made an exciting discovery in identifying a unique type of TBI that is prevalent throughout society and overlooked by the medical community. Surprisingly, he also found that AVE can restart the brain within 20 minutes. Further research has found that AVE generates large amounts of lactate, which in turn fires up both glia and neurons.Dave also designs Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) products and is a leading provider of transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS) and devices. As a result of Dave’s commitment to research, Mind Alive Inc. now owns three patents involving neurotechnology. Dave continues to conduct research, perform a quantitative EEG service and designs new products pertaining to enhanced performance and mental wellness.Dave has developed a 30 CEU course on Stimulation Technologies with Saybrook University and the Behavioral Medicine Research and Training Foundation. Dave has also published many articles and studies relating to Audio-Visual Entrainment and brain function and has recently made leading edge breakthroughs in the identification and treatment of concussion.As a firm believer in keeping his mind alive through neuro-stimulation (or, dancing in his dendrites!), Dave engages in many activities spanning research, flying RC airplanes and drones, kayaking, diving, caving, biking, sailing, music & song-writing plus having fun!
