Conquering anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome

Edited by: Shelia Rodgers (original article)

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 »

“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.”

Dear Brain State Technologies,

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.

Testimony by D.L.

I have suffered with depression, anxiety and bouts of insomnia for over a decade.  I have sought the help of numerous medical professional throughout the years which began my education with pharmaceuticals.  I have suffered with depression, anxiety and bouts of insomniaAll proving ineffective and at times rendering me feeling completely drug induced.  I found myself “functioning” but not truly “living”.

Distressed and frustrated with the entire process, I decided to stop all medications and see how I would do.  Obviously, it didn’t take long for the depression to set in along with the sleepless nights.  So I began taking a low dose of Welbutrin for the depression and Klonopin to sleep.  Once again I was back on medication and still not feeling the way I thought I should be.  I was still experience severe bouts of sadness, this time they were truly interfering with my ability to be a wife and mother.

Luckily, I became aware of NeuroTechnologies.  At this point I was willing to listen to any alternative that would help me regain control of my life again that didn’t involve further medications.  The mechanics behind NeuroTechnologies intrigued me!  To actually be able to see what was going on inside my brain and be able to chart and graph my progress was an option far more appealing to me than “just take another pill and let’s see how this one works”.  There was actual science behind this method of recovery, progress that I could see as well as feel.  And feel it I did.  I signed up for 20 sessions and by my 8^th I was experiencing a dramatic change in my mood and sleep.

You know when a protocol is a success when your family comments on how much they see a change in you.  My children commented that since I began my treatments, “Mom is our old mom again; she really likes to spend time with us.  We are actually laughing and having a good time with her again!”  For me that meant the world and has proven to me that NeuroTechnologies is the answer to a prayer that I have been searching for over ten years!

My experience with the science of NeuroTechnologies and its learned staff has been nothing less than a miracle for me!  I highly recommend trying this method of treatment. Your path to a happy, sleep filled life is only sessions away!

“From Eeyore to Tigger

 I didn’t know what to expect when I started the sessions at The Evolutionary Brain.  When I walked in the door I was coming with many issues: depression, chronic pain, stress, a lack of confidence, motivation and direction.  I felt like I had given up on life. I was in constant pain for 2 years following a bad car accident where I was left with a compressed spine and numbness in my elbow and hand. I had to sleep with many pillows to prop myself up so I wouldn’t experience severe pressure in my head and increased numbness in my arm and hand. I suffered from bouts of insomnia. I was dealing with an addiction to sugar. I have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome which brings a host of symptoms: water retention, weight gain, irregular menstruation (lack of to excess), depression and hormonal imbalances, to name a few.

After my very first session there was a noticeable calmness, I felt good.  After the first day my spine realigned itself and I was standing up straighter. I had a 20% decrease of numbness in my hand and my elbow has full range of motion as does my neck. Something I had not experienced since before the car accident. I slept with only one pillow. I slept soundly to wake up refreshed ready to start the day with clarity and a positive out look on life.

 The following days brought new vitality to my well being. Here is a list of the noticeable improvements.

• I have a stronger sense of smell and taste.
• My vision has improved. My eyes don’t get as blurred from long days.
• I have lost my urge to eat sugar.
• My heart and lungs feel stronger.
• I have full range of motion in my neck and elbow.
• My posture has improved. After my 3rd day I had to readjust my rear view mirror because I was sitting taller. 
• I wake up feeling very refreshed as if I had just walked a few miles.
• My joints feel lubricated. No more aching knees or elbows.
• I have better balance.
• My depression is gone.
• I am more productive. I am motivated to take action.
• I am prioritizing my time and accomplishing my goals.
• I am falling asleep faster and waking up refreshed, ready to start the day.
• I can concentrate with less distractions.
• I can focus and listen better during conversations, my mind isn’t wandering.
• 50% decreased numbness in my hand.
• My family and friends noticed an immediate shift in my posture, attitude and stress level. They say I am calm and that I am the person that they knew me to be a few years ago before more resent traumas in my life.
• I feel the way I did in my early 20’s. (I am now 40) 

I can’t wait to see what will happen in the next month.

 Far and away one of the best investments of my all around health. I have been recommending this to all of my friends. It changed my life beyond words. Read the rest of this entry »

“Before I had the opportunity to brain train it seemed as though things were happening to me and now its like they happen around me….I don’t feel like I am the target board in life anymore and  I feel safe and confident in the way that I can choose to react to what happens around me. I no longer feel like the world and people control how I end up feeling, my perception is actually enough to let me decide how I should feel.

I have lived with an eating disorder that I allowed to plague me since I was 12 years old. I am now 26 and over the years I have been into at least 6 different treatment centers for help. I was labeled with just about everything…. anorexia, bulimia, bi-polar, borderline personalities, depression, obsessive compulsive, alcoholic, you name it. I always felt as though I never knew who I was and why I existed so every time I got a new label I took it on and lived it, becoming more and more lost in life.

Anything that happened in my life was too much for me to deal with and would be reason for me to fall further and further down a path of self-destruction.

Just before I started brain training I was drinking excessive amounts of alcohol (1 or 2 bottles of vodka a day on a good day). I had no idea of what normal eating was and neglected my body in everyway possible, emotionally, morally and physically. It was like I had lost my conscience and even though I was very very unhappy and hopeless I lacked the drive to turn things around. I lied to myself and to everyone around me, from a person who always has big goals and values in my life I felt like I lost it all, even my family had lost trust and hope in me. I think if I had carried on along the path that I felt so trapped in for even 2 weeks more I would never be here now.

Brain Training helped to change my whole life; instead of my own funeral I have my wedding to look forward to this November. I have a job that I can actually take responsibility for and new exciting goals.

The process I went through while brain training was amazing, not easy but worth every bit of time. I was very emotional during the training process but even after the first session I felt my internal boundaries and values coming back. I actually felt like I knew who this soul was inside my body, the soul I lost somewhere along the line. In the two weeks of brain training things changed so rapidly its kind of hard to even describe what went on…I feel like putting it into words might not do the process justice. The changes in me since then however are vast; I have not touched alcohol in almost 4 months and have no desire to at all. I recently got engaged and have a wonderful relationship with a man who loves me as much as I love him, I used to feel I had to do everything right and be perfect for someone to love me, now somebody else is happy with me just as I am too. Me refining myself has allowed other people to get close again.

I had lost the very loving relationship I always had with my parents and even this is now coming back, something I thought I could never fix.

I am taking responsibility in my life, financially, health wise, work wise, socially and have found the passion for life that I once lost. My life is worth sticking around for, something that before brain training I never thought I would believe.”

I came to BrainWave suffering from anxiety, O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), problems sleeping, stress as well as some other issues. Through the early stages of the Intensive, I started to notice a change, especially the way I slept. I was sleeping through the night and waking up rested. As the program went on, I noticed that I was much calmer, less agitated and happier. I now can actually sit, relax and watch a whole movie without having five different jobs on the go at the same time as the movie! This is a big change for me. I worry about things a lot less and my stress level has come way down. My colleagues at work don’t know I went through brain training, but they can sure notice I’m much mellower now!
Thank you BrainWave for everything.

Brainstate training under the guidance of Thomas Portney accomplishes this shift within the brain and has improved both my sense of calmness, and increased my capacity for organization in ways I thought impossible prior to this process.  Brainstate training has relinquished PTSD symptoms and to my amazement general anxiety has diminished also.  My husband and I have received countless individual blessings due to this miraculous healing method and now we are both witnessing our marriage fulfillment increase as deep joy and renewed intimacy are reborn within our relationship. I truly feel that The Wizard gave me a brain and that new brain opened my heart.  Thank you!

“When I arrived at BrainWorks, I was a complete mess. My life was overrun by addiction, depression and severe anxiety. I could not focus on anything without my mind constantly racing. After 10 sessions, I am no longer struggling with sleep. I can sit and meditate without losing focus, I no longer suffer from addictions and my depression is gone. I have energy throughout the day and I am currently eating less and losing weight. BrainState Conditioning really helped me and I will continue to have sessions.”
