Alpha Theta Neurotherapy

Course Overview

Course Name: Alpha Theta Neurotherapy: Theory into Practice

Prerequisites

All participants should be established neurofeedback practitioners

• Able to detect artifact
• Comfortable identifying frequency bands (ie: Delta, Theta, Alpha)
• Competent in navigating clinical grade neurofeedback software and equipment.
• There is a great deal that needs to occur before the actual Alpha-Theta training. Because
  one necessary element is helping the client/patient relax, students need to be proficient in
  at least one relaxation technique such as biofeedback, autogenic training, progressive
  muscle relaxation, or similar.

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.

Linda’s work in trauma spans nearly 30 years, first in her work in developmental disabilities, then through juvenile justice and mental health. There is a tendency to follow up this sentence with all of the trauma therapies in which one has been certified. There is a long list. But that truly doesn’t touch connecting with someone who has been through trauma, being a witness to their experience and then helping them on their journey to work through it. Particularly with the young men and women labeled “delinquents,” Linda came to profoundly understand how tangled the web of trauma could truly be, and how critically the therapeutic approach must necessarily include a foundational healing that helps the core of the person learn to re-regulate. That it is a combination of psychology and physiology — using neurofeedback and biofeedback, then surrounded by other supportive approaches in which individuals can begin to heal within deeper layers beyond the superficial.

Linda has been practicing neurofeedback and biofeedback for over two decades and is among the more knowledgeable professionals in the field and has been privileged to direct assessment for a neurotherapy group that had clinics throughout Michigan, develop and teach biofeedback for Western Michigan University, and work with Bio-Medical, Thought Technology, and Biofeedback Federation to teach courses, mentor and develop software. Still, Linda’s heart lives in the opportunity to work with others, to meet them where they are in their journey and to use the tools and skills I have to help them along their way.
