“I am a Vietnam veteran with PSTD. I suffer from depression, substance abuse, and extreme clusters headaches. I had been asking the Veterans Administration for the last 2 to 3 years for other approaches to PSTD than the regular “Talk Group Therapy” and countless psychotropic pharmaceuticals, some of which had left me impotent for over 3 years. Unfortunately, to no avail. I had even over the years tried private counseling, at great personal expense. It was essentially no different, basically the same approach….My sleep patterns were about 12 hour per day, frequent nightmares, slovenly personal care and a lack of energy. No lust for life. And when my cluster headaches were in full swing my attitude would dramatically deteriorate.

I contacted Mr. Art McCullar of NeuroFitness Center and visited him at his office with my fiancé. We were impressed with the company video presentation and I immediately signed up for the next available sequence of sessions. After the third day of sessions I noticed a dramatic change in my sleep. I was only sleeping six to seven hours a night instead of twelve and as an added bonus my problems with impotency decreased dramatically!

My outlook on life has improved considerably and my energy level is phenomenal!  I was on probation for substance abuse. After over 36 years of self-medication and inebriation I am hopeful that returning to a balanced state through BSC can help me avoid drugs and the negative consequences associated with them. My attitude is very positive and I have been drug free for quite some time. I guess I was lucky to be able to visualize peaceful conditions so well.”

“How do I begin to thank you for giving me back my life? I have been depressed, in one form or another, for most of my adult life. Years of therapy and antidepressant use have helped at various times, but the underlying feelings of hopelessness and helplessness never really went away. I came to Brain State Technologies as a last resort. My marriage was crumbling and my children avoided telling me anything they thought would upset me. I felt that I lived my life walking on egg shells.

After the first session, I was feeling more hopeful than I could ever remember feeling. Family and friends started commenting that I seemed different…. I smiled more. After the 7th session I was thinking clearly, focusing on my writing and interacting with my family in a new and healthy way. My husband and I are working at reestablishing the marriage we once had.

Thank you for giving me a fresh start.”

My name is D.B. and I have suffered from fibromyalgia for about twenty-five years. It took about sixteen years before it was correctly diagnosed. Having lived with intense, debilitating pain and chronic fatigue for several years I was desperate for some relief.

Over the years the fibromyalgia has become progressively worse, with it coming to a crisis point last year when the recession impacted hugely on our finances. I have been a landscaper for about twenty-two years and have found that over the years I have been able to do less and less. Eventually I was at the point where I would get through a project only by sheer will power and many, many painkillers. However once the project was completed it would take up to three weeks to recover enough in order to work again.

I had virtually lost all movement in my neck and struggled to walk. Sleeping was a distant memory. It was impossible to sleep for more than three hours at a time and that was with painkillers. It was even a struggle putting on my jeans, socks and shoes in the morning. I felt very depressed and frustrated that I could do so little. I found it hard to understand why people were so obsessed with wanting to live for so long – I was just trying to hang in there until my daughters were old enough to no longer need me. There was no burning desire in me to live with such a limited quality of life for an extended period of time. I felt that I was becoming a burden and no longer able to be productive, which was impacting hugely on my family financially. Making sure that I was there for my daughters was the only thing that was keeping me going. Read the rest of this entry »

Conquering anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome

Each time I sat in the stands with other soccer moms, I knew what they were thinking without them saying a word: “Geez, why did Taylor miss that ball by a mile?”  “What does she think she’s doing, running straight into that girl?” “Why is she constantly shaking her head?”

I couldn’t have cared less how the game turned out. I just wished with all my heart that my beautiful 8-year-old daughter could see the field and ball 100% of the time, wished she didn’t have Tourette  syndrome, wished her eyes didn’t roll back in her head — hundreds of times a day. I so wished she could keep her eyes focused on the ball she had intended to kick, and that she could anticipate the movement of others on the field.

Taylor had a passion for soccer, and my husband Brian and I supported her dream. But truth be told, I dreaded the games.

Taylor’s tics started in September of 2007. We were soon dealing with the frightening eye rolls. Her eyes went up and back into her head and stayed there for several seconds at a time. She shook her head (much like a dog does to get water off) until her neck was physically hurting her. And with sudden flailing of her arms, we’ve watched many an object fly off the kitchen table. I was so worried about the eye rolls that I videotaped her for the pediatric psychologist to be sure they weren’t seizures. They weren’t. Read the rest of this entry »

The impact of BST on my life has been nothing short of miraculous. 19 years of sobriety in recovery has taught me there are rarely, if any, “quick fixes” when it comes to psychological improvement, but BST has proven that statement wrong. I spent years in counseling and had come a long, long, way on the path of healing, yet some core issues remained that just would not relent. Tendencies toward isolation and lack of true compassion kept me somewhat distant from others. I had been diagnosed years ago with mild clinical depression and ADD and these two albatrosses still hung around my neck to some degree. Medications had greatly reduced my symptoms, but they are not a cure, and the side effects put new and different strains on my personal relationships, especially my marriage.

All that changed after BST. I’m off the meds, I don’t have the desire to isolate and I feel true compassion for others. BST directly caused my ADD symptoms to recede (even before I stopped the meds) and it caused my depression symptoms to vanish. Greatest of all my marriage and my relationship with my children have brought me an incredible new joy. The final blessing is my wife has undergone BST as well. The combined effect of both of us realizing this change is more powerful and anything I could have imagined.

“I want to offer my sincerest thanks for the help that your company has provided me. I was apprehensive at first, but due to your staff’s professionalism and kindness my concerns were quickly put to rest. The intake process allowed the staff to better understand my specific needs and issues. I felt that the upcoming treatment was truly specialized for me. During the first 12 sessions the symptoms that I had been experiencing due to systemic trauma/PTSD were dramatically reduced. My extreme night sweats were completely eliminated, allowing me to sleep through the night. My anxiety attacks were greatly reduced and my energy level increased. During this time I was able to step back emotionally and examine my trauma in a safer way.

The second 12 sessions I saw continued improvement in my trauma symptoms. Some of the physical manifestations of the treatments included minor sweats, involuntary neck and head movement, tingling and numbness of my face, head, neck and tailbone. These sensations were the releasing of the trauma energy.

A week after the completion of my treatment, I was experiencing a feeling of wellbeing. I was excited, happy, energetic and had a clarity that I had not felt in a long time. Another exiting bonus for me was the improvement of my short term memory.”

“I wanted to give you a update on how my 8 year boy is doing since we completed the 10 Brain State training sessions. As you know, though very bright, my son was having difficulty in school and his teachers wanted to put him a special class for kids having difficulties.

Since the training he was re-tested in the areas that he had tested below grade level last August. He improved in all six areas. Two areas showed notable jumps. He improved a year and a half in reading content understanding and Four years in understanding and following directions, neither of which could be explained by his classroom experience this fall.

He continues to improve in reading and spelling at a surprising rate and we have seen some improvement in written expression, but it remains an area of concern.

His vision has improved some, though he still sees triple sometimes. We are practicing bringing the three images together and he is to the point where he can almost achieve that.

Thanks so much in your wonderful work in helping my beautiful little boy. This is so encouraging.”

Jackie had problems with her cognitive process. After BST she has noticed a big change with how she goes about thinking and solving problems.

Having had no previous exposure to the principles and practice of Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ training, I was curious to experience the process. My initial consultation involved mind-mapping and one of the startling observations the practitioner was able to point out, was the site and historical relevance of a trauma to the skull I had as a child and the consequential impact it would have had over the years. The actual training that I then undertook proved to have a significant impact on my cognitive functioning, enabling a much enhanced sense of mental acuity and focus, a greater sense of emotional calm, but above all the greatest benefit Brainwave Optimization with RTB™  training had was on the quality of my sleep. For the first time in a number of years I now sleep solidly, perhaps now only waking once in the early hours of the morning, whereas previously I was waking at least four times during the night. This benefit seems to be enduring; it has been six weeks after the training and my sleep patterns have remained the same. I have no doubt that Brainwave Optimization with RTB™  training can have significant therapeutic benefits in the collective management of such conditions as generalized anxiety, attention deficit and learning disorders especially in children, sleep disorders, depression and to enhance a better stress response in patients during times of stress.
