The Life Sciences Institute of Mind-Body Health: Professional Training

Professional Training
in Self-Regulation
Therapies

We offer professional training programs that are tailor-made to the individual desiring training. Individualized training is usually of five-day duration, but it can be extended to two weeks or longer, depending on need. Arrangements are made by appointment with the clinical faculty. We also do intensive professional training with two individuals at a time and with small groups. We are quite flexible and can make arrangements to suit your particular needs at times that are mutually suitable. Professional Training is available for particular application areas including (among others):

Neurofeedback therapy for Addictions, Attention Deficit Disorders, and Closed Head Injury
Psychosynthesis
Techniques of Visualization and Imagery
Complementary Cancer Therapy
Hypertension and Cardiovascular Applications
Biofeedback Theory and Methods Useful in Setting Up a Clinical Practice

We have found it efficacious to provide experiential training of the same type that we would provide a client, enabling a therapist to experience first-hand the type of therapy they are wanting to learn. In essence, you would be the client for the week, learning and experiencing the training techniques that you wish to use in your professional setting. Training Protocol Each day is spent learning:

Use and Application of Biofeedback Modalities
New Strategies for Helping Clients Develop and Maintain Healthy Reaction Patterns and a Healthy Body

Two hours per day with the clinical faculty is simultaneously experiential and didactic, and addresses your questions as they occur. If more than two hours a day of clinical faculty time is desired, it can generally be made available. In addition, several hours a day are spent practicing with biofeedback instruments, reading relevant material, and viewing educational videos.

Other Training Opportunities We also set up professional weekend workshops from time to time. These are set up when group interest exists. Our staff is also available for lectures and workshops at other locations. Cost The cost of training, usually $1000 for the 5-day week, varies depending on actual hours spent with a faculty member. At the end of training we provide a letter certifying the training accomplished, which can be used for continuing education credits, and for tax deduction purposes.
