SUMMARY:Exclusive Conference Preview: Body-Based Tools for Self-Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Join Jenna Prada\, M.Ed.\, Director of Learning at Sadar Psychological\, for an exclusive preview of her upcoming presentation at the Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities Conference. When verbal strategies aren’t enough\, body-based interventions open new pathways for managing emotions and maintaining focus. In this experiential session\, you’ll learn and practice evidence-based techniques including heart rate variability biofeedback\, progressive muscle relaxation\, and postural exercises that work for any age. \nYou’ll experience the exercises yourself\, receive age-adaptable scripts for teaching them to children\, and discover why these tools are particularly powerful for learners with LD who may struggle with traditional talk-based strategies. Parents\, educators\, and professionals will leave with exercises ready to use today—plus a deeper understanding of how to support kids (and themselves!) when big emotions and focus challenges arise. \nThis event is free for Premium subscribers to the Mindful Learners Community and the cost is reduced by $10 for Basic Members. Just be sure to sign in before purchasing at the link below (coming soon!).

SUMMARY:International Trauma Conference
DESCRIPTION:Though this conference is not focused solely on neurofeedback\, neurofeedback always has a place here. This year that includes a workshop from Angelika Sadar on Day 1 of the conference and additional neurofeedback workshops\, panel discussions featuring prominent neurofeedback providers\, and/or neurobiology presentations each subsequent day. \n\n\nConference overview\n\n\n\n\nThe study of trauma has probably been the single most fertile area in helping to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship among the emotional\, cognitive\, social and biological forces that shape human development. Starting with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults and expanding into early attachment and overwhelming attachment and social experiences in childhood (“Developmental Trauma”)\, this endeavor has elucidated how certain experiences can “set” psychological expectations\, bodily experiences and biological selectivity. \nWhen addressing the problems of traumatized people who\, in a myriad of ways\, continue to react to current experience as a replay of the past\, there is a need for therapeutic methods that do not depend exclusively on drugs\, talk or understanding. We have learned that most experience is automatically processed on a subcortical level of the brain; i.e.\, by “unconscious” interpretations that take place outside of conscious awareness. \nInsight and good intentions have only a limited influence on the operation of these subcortical processes\, but synchrony\, movement and reparative experiences do. This conference will present both basicresearch about the impact of trauma over the life cycle\, and a range of effective interventions that are being practiced in clinics\, schools\, prisons\, families\, and communities around the world.

DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mitchell Sadar is presenting at this conference in Brescia\, Italia. His workshop is titled Whole Self Healing – Aligning Body\, Brain\, & Buried Emotions (using bio-neurofeedback to aide the process). \nBFE’s meeting is often spoken about in terms of the warmth as well as the learning that characterize it. The information below is directly from their website: \nThe BFE Meeting takes place over six days and offers a variety of one and two-day workshops. In addition\, we offer a full day Scientific Program featuring invited speakers\, symposia\, oral and poster presentations. \nINSPIRING SPEAKERS BEAUTIFUL LOCATION GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES\nThe BFE Annual Meeting is an interdisciplinary biofeedback conference to nurture communication and education between specialists from different disciplines. Experts from neurofeedback\, biofeedback\, psychology\, medicine\, physical therapy\, education and other disciplines come together to share and learn. The meeting offers a broad range of basic and applied psychophysiology and biofeedback workshops along with in-depth presentations (lectures\, symposia\, paper sessions\, and posters) during the scientific program. The workshops are instructed by internationally recognized clinicians who demonstrate their latest clinical/educational biofeedback treatment approaches. \nAt our last meeting\, we were proud to welcome delegates from over 30 different countries. Registration is ongoing and the meeting is open to all healthcare practitioners\, and students in health related fields\, who wish to participate.

SUMMARY:Alpha-Theta Overview:  Adding Value to Your Neurotherapy Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:This event is NRBS Sponsor Series #34. You can register for free on their website. \n\n\n\n\nYou’ve no doubt heard about alpha-theta neurotherapy in your neurofeedback training but you might still be wondering how it can augment your current therapies. Or maybe you’re wondering even how to implement it effectively or what exactly it’s for. If so\, this webinar is for you. We will explore how alpha-theta neurotherapy may be a great tool in your therapeutic toolbox\, and take a look at its applications – from optimal performance to trauma and beyond. Learners will get an overview of the therapy and understand how it contrasts (and integrates) with other neurotherapies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter \n\n\n\n\nLinda Walker\, PhD\, LPC\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the moment Dr. Walker completed college (the first time) with a degree in journalism\, she felt a deep drive to be part of the solution to the challenges she saw in the world. However\, writing alone didn’t feel like enough. That search for greater impact led her to pursue a master’s degree in human relations and counseling at the University of Oklahoma\, launching her career as a helping professional in the mid-1990s. Along the way\, she expanded her expertise with post-graduate certificates in addiction studies and school counseling\, ultimately earning a doctorate in psychology with an emphasis in psychophysiology from Saybrook University. In the early years of her career\, Dr. Walker dedicated herself to helping adults with developmental disabilities find ways to live independently and experience life to the fullest. Over the years\, she has had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life—people striving to regain balance\, enhance well-being\, and optimize function. Her journey has taken her through roles in community mental health\, juvenile justice\, private practice\, and corporate health. Dr. Walker first integrated neurofeedback and biofeedback into her practice in 2000 while working at a residential treatment facility for juvenile delinquents. Around the same time\, she began incorporating qEEG assessments. The young people she worked with had faced immense challenges—trauma\, mental health and behavioral conditions\, learning disorders\, substance use issues\, post-concussive injuries\, and toxic chemical exposures—often all at once. Many had cycled through countless medications and therapies without success. She began asking herself: What more could be done to truly help these young individuals build a better future? The answer came through neurofeedback and biofeedback. By incorporating a structured curriculum into the residential program\, remarkable changes were observed—fewer restraint interventions\, reduced medication use\, and students proudly making the honor roll for the first time. These improvements were carefully documented and tracked\, yet despite the success\, the economic downturn led to the program’s closure in 2010.

He has practiced for 28 years and consulted in the US\, Europe and Mexico for over 100 clinics. \nMetabolic Testing To Aid In Clinical Outcomes\nMetabolic testing can support many clinical interventions to elucidate physiological etiologies to physical and mental dysregulations. This talk will provide information about the different types of testing and their clinical usages.\nObj 1: The participant will be able to list 3 types of metabolic tests explain how they can be included in a clinical assessment.\nObj 2: The attendee will be able to discuss how metabolic dysregulations can play an important role in at least 2 cognitive and 2 physical disorders.\nObj 3: The attendee will be able to describe and compare the difference between the data obtain in hair and saliva metabolic tests.
