I have added IASIS MCN Neurofeedback to help the CNS relax and decrease feelings of anxiety and depression. It helps in the regulation of the CNS.

IASIS Micro Current Nuerofeedback (MCN)

IASIS MCN supports the autonomic nervous system's development while gently changing the existing neuropathways that are perpetuating these unfavorable tendencies. Symptoms frequently diminish or disappear when the brain reorganizes itself into more functional and adaptive patterns. MCN is a cutting-edge, noninvasive technique that uses an EEG device to give short microcurrent stimulation (3 Pico, or 3 trillionths of a watt). This aids in the brain's and nervous system's ongoing reorganization into patterns that are more functioning. IASIS MCN is 510K FDA registered and approved, as a relaxation device Clients frequently report greater calmness, more restful sleep, and improved mental focus within the first few sessions. IASIS MCN has been shown to be helpful for individuals with the following types of problems: Anxiety Depression Insomnia PTSD ADHD Cognitive Issues Foggy Brain Concussion Emotional Reactivity/Impulsivity Stroke Addictions Poor focus/attention Traumatic Brain Injury Therapy using microcurrent neural feedback Treatment without surgery for neurological disorders HELP IS AVAILABLE Trauma, stress, and illness can activate the brain's fight-or-flight response and have a long-lasting effect on normal brain function. Low-level electromagnetism is used in Micro Current Neurofeedback to disrupt neural patterns in the brain and cause them to be reset. Treatment with neurofeedsack dramatically lowers the brain waves linked to both PTSD and m-T81. Respondents have noted improvements as early as the first 1-3 sessions. First completed university and VA study using IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback, representing image-based evidence in 30–40 minute non-invasive comfortable seated sessions A state of relaxation that is safe and effective for resetting delta waves.

IASIS AND EMDR TOGETHER

While EMDR addresses the software of the brain, IASIS MCN addresses its hardware. Combining these two therapies has the potential to significantly reduce your distress because they both inform one another. MCN aids in nervous system regulation, encouraging relaxation and lowering the fight-or-flight response. MCN produces the ideal environment for emotional processing and healing by soothing your nervous system. On the other side, EMDR focuses on revisiting traumatic memories and negative learning/beliefs in order to lessen their negative impact, such as "I am a failure," "I am not good enough," etc. You end up being more resilient going forward in life as a result. You can treat both the physical and psychological parts of your healing process by combining MCN with EMDR, resulting in a holistic strategy for long-lasting change.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment. Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them—without believing, for instance, that there’s a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. Meditation begins and ends in the body. It involves taking the time to pay attention to where we are and what’s going on, and that starts with being aware of our body.

Highly Sensitive People

The scientific term is “sensory-processing sensitivity" (SPS). People who are highly sensitive are born that way; it is not something they learned. As children they might be described by teachers as shy or inhibited, especially in Western countries. As adults, they might be described as introverts. It is important to note that not all sensitive people are shy or introverts. In fact, 30% of HSP are thought to be extroverts. Your trait is normal. It is found in 15 to 20% of the population–too many to be a disorder, but not enough to be well understood by the majority of those around you.

Childhood Trauma and The Adult Nervous System

Childhood Trauma and The Adult Nervous System

Trauma creates changes in your brain that trigger the fight or flight response (sympathetic mode) and freeze or fold response (survival mode). These responses can become so second-nature that stress hormones are released even without the stimulus of a threat in your environment. Over time, this process can lead to neurological changes and nervous system dysfunction. As a child, when you experience a traumatic event, it typically goes unrecognized. Unless you had parents that are very aware of the long-term impacts of trauma, you likely just had to move forward and shake it off. Unfortunately, trauma doesn't typically resolve on its own. While the event may be over, the impacts of a traumatic experience can live on in your body for decades.

Connecting Eating Disorders and Sensory Processing Disorder: A Sensory Eating Disorder Hypothesis

Connecting Eating Disorders and Sensory Processing Disorder: A Sensory Eating Disorder Hypothesis

Eating disorders are pathological conditions characterized by disturbed eating behaviors that affect mental and physical health. Among them, some Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Pica and Anorexia Nervosa (AN) studies have shown, at least in part, a sensory-related etiology. Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a neurological condition that exists when the brain has an altered processing of sensory signals, resulting in non-adaptive motor and/or behavioral responses. Some of the SPD phenotypes include hyper or hypo-reactivity to one or more sensory channels, including tactile, olfactory, visual and oral that might have connections with the aforementioned eating disorders, like atypical responses from determined food colors, textures or smells which eventually lead to unhealthy eating behaviors, weight imbalance, malnutrition and psychosocial impairment. We have gathered and discussed some of the most relevant studies about the connection between eating disorders and SPD, proposing a general term called sensory eating disorder to define peculiar SPD cases that might evolve to an established eating disorder.

Co-Occurring Disorders and What it Mean

Co-Occurring Disorders and What it Mean

Because having an eating disorder is a way to cope with emotional challenges, it isn’t uncommon to have Co-Occurring Disorders. What this means is you may be suffering from one or more psychological disorders at one time. When this other disorder is not properly diagnosed, or addressed, the Eating Disorder can be negatively affected. This can lead to the inability to recover or lead to future relapse. The Eating Disorder can also simultaneously be affecting the other psychiatric disorder, for example, food restriction progressing an anxiety disorder. Our directory of specialists can help you diagnose and treat the co-occurring problem, in order to successfully rule out the disorder and identify how it is colliding negatively with your current Eating Disorder.

Depression- effecting 50-75% of Eating Disorder patients, many that may not even be aware. Undernourishment can cause the progression of the patient experiencing super low- lows. Anxiety Disorder- affecting 2/3 of society at some point in a persons’ lifetime, ignited by the social anxiety and OCD that may come to the surface with Eating Disorders. PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)- there has been a higher rate of sexually abused victims having Eating Disorders. Coming from the feeling of lack associated with coping with the traumatic occurrences, that are often ignored by the fixation the Eating Disorder consumes. This can be diagnosed for anyone who has experienced a traumatic event in their life that has gone improperly treated. Substance Abuse- the most common of which are drugs and or alcohol. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)- this disorder comes with the destruction of the patients’ interpersonal relationships. A need to cope with constant fear of abandonment can lead to an Eating Disorder. Self-injury/Self-harm- affecting over 25% of Eating Disorder sufferers, this is often a result of preexisting anxiety, depression and/or trauma and involves the person physically or ritually turning to self-harming physical body tissue in order to relieve the anxiety or overwhelming feelings that come with the illness.
