Description
For the past 40 years, The Meadows Model has been treating trauma and addiction, using both Pia Mellody’s Model on Codependency and cutting-edge brain stem interventions. These support individuals as they learn to re-regulate and traverse the autonomic shifts necessary in creating conditions for healing to occur. Because meaning follows physiology, one of the main goals is utilization of specific therapeutic modalities to interrupt negative feedback loops – including disorganized breathing patters, thoughts, and brainwave patterns. The state of our nervous system will inform how we organize our experience and make meaning of our life. Using Brain Stem Interventions, such as Neurofeedback, we are working directly with the nervous system to help individuals reorganize subcortical non-conscious survival adaptations. We explore the importance of experiencing the body in the present moment as healing happens in the here-and-now. This presentation will include description of various neurotherapies utilized, how and why they are used within context of treatment planning, and a case presentation to demonstrate key concepts.
