INTEGRATIVE INTERVENTIONS FOR TRAUMA AND PTSD WEBINAR RECORDING

Presenter: Santiago Brand, BA, BCN, BCB, HRV

Many psychological conditions possess a trauma basis. Using psychophysiological modalities to study, evaluate, assess and train the neurobiological substrates could prove key to enhancing psychological healing. This workshop addresses case studies in trauma and PTSD involving the integration of qEEG, neurofeedback, biofeedback and other modalities. EEGs, stress profiles and recorded training data are presented to illustrate how psychophysiological interventions are important not only to assess, but also to provide optimal, evidence-based outcomes. Case study presentations, the anatomy and physiology of the trauma response the core elements of trauma and how they manifest on a psychophysiological level will also be presented.

All views expressed in the recording are solely those of the presenters and participants.
