When a client stays stuck, you need another way in
Most of our clinical models work with thoughts, feelings, relationships and behavior. Some clients do that work and still stay stuck. Neurotherapy adds another dimension: the function of the nervous system itself.
Neurotherapy is a family of tools that includes biofeedback, neurofeedback and neurostimulation. It begins with assessment, which shows how a client's nervous system is functioning, and continues with training that creates the conditions for change. It works alongside psychotherapy, and each strengthens the other.
The TrueBearing Method
A clear path from first assessment to confident practice
The TrueBearing Method© gathers practices that experienced neurotherapists have relied on for decades into a form you can learn and use. It works on any neurotherapy platform and focuses on five areas.
Understanding
How nervous system function relates to common presenting concerns
Applying
The principles of behavioral conditioning
Engaging
Clients as active partners in their own self-regulation
Navigating
The full process, from assessment to completion, in a way that fits your therapeutic style
Choosing
The right mix of tools and skill building for each client
Who we train
Wherever you are in your career
Early in your career
You want a clear, structured way to build competence with complex cases, and support while you learn.
In the middle of your career
You have built real expertise, and some clients no longer respond to familiar methods. Neurotherapy extends what you already do well.
Later in your career
You want work that draws on decades of clinical judgment, with more flexibility in how and where you practice. Neurotherapy builds on what you know.
