Alpha Theta Neurotherapy

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.

Course Description

Learning Objectives


Students will be able to…

  • Initiate a basic Alpha-Theta neurofeedback session.
  • Identify the “ingredients” critical to the facilitation of alpha-theta neurotherapy.
  • Summarize (in no more than two sentences) one example of an ego-strengthening
    visualization that can be used in alpha-theta sessions

Students will understand…

  • How alpha-theta neurotherapy benefits users when working with those seeking
    performance enhancement.
  • Penniston’s general outcomes in working with individuals with addiction.
  • That alpha-theta neurotherapy has elements in common with ancient mystic practices.
  • Conditions in which alpha-theta is contra-indicated.

Prerequisites/Audience


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.
