De l’exagération à la relativisation

De nombreuses personnes viennent à mon cabinet professionnel parce qu'à la suite d'un traumatisme physique ou psychologique, elles ont éprouvé des symptômes ou souffrent d'une pathologie ou d'une maladie. N'ayant trouvé aucun remède ou soulagement avec une approche médicale ordinaire ou en prenant des médicaments, ils sont convaincus que NeurOptimal® soit une «thérapie» alternative ou un «traitement médical» spécifique pour ce symptôme. Dans le respect de leurs attentes et de leurs souffrances, il est de...

Back to School During COVID19

As a Mother, I feel fearful for my child’s safety! Even though my children are grown adults! I wonder if they are being careful enough, social distancing at all times, wearing their masks, washing their hands and keeping each other and their children safe. As a Teacher, my fellow educators are there out of love and a passion for knowledge and growth. They did not sign on as a Policeman to teach children how to be...

"It really is that simple." Trungpa Rinpoche says something like, “Buddhism doesn’t tell you what is false and what is true, but it encourages you to find out for yourself.” Chodron, Pema. The Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving Kindness (p. 43). Shambhala. Kindle Edition. What is so different about NeurOptimal® compared to all the other neurotechnologies out there?

Dear NeurOptimal® Trainers

Dear NeurOptimal® Trainers, I have been watching, reading and listening to the many comments about NO3 and the experiences that a few people are having with their Clients.  As many of you know our actions as a Trainer can and will affect our Clients, from subtle facial expressions (“hmmm…why did ‘it’ (NO3) do that”) to more overt statements, “I am not sure what is happening here” or “That’s weird, I would have thought the Interruptions would...

How Flexible Are You When Your Fist Is Clenched?

When our hands are relaxed and open, they can move fluidly, resiliently, from task to task—grasping items, reaching out to assist or hug someone, transferring easily from a writing to a driving position. But can you imagine moving from holding a child, to writing a check, or even to feeding yourself, with your hand squeezed into a tight fist? Chronic stress, compounded daily, creates a body filled with tension, leading to a tight, stiff Central Nervous...

Myth Busters – Rumor Has It…

Funny how rumors get started...One person thinks they understand how something works and says, “it must work like this” while another says “no, I heard it worked like this”, and yet another says, “in my experience it must be like this”. Before you know it suddenly, all these funny rumors, inventions and in some cases superstitions, have started and with little to no truth to it! So, I am going to take a moment to...

Shhh… Want to Take a Peek inside the NeurOptimal® System?

Zengar has been developing a Neurofeedback system for years that they have referred to as a Non-linear Dynamical® approach to brain training. But what in the world does that mean? It is sometimes difficult to call this system ‘Neurofeedback’, because this educational brain training program has very little in common with the Linear approach that so many people understand as Neurofeedback. It helps to understand a little more about the brain. The Brain is ever-changing. Neuroplasticity...
