A new paradigm

Emotional Brain Training, (EBT) is a method aimed at rewiring the emotional brain.  It is easy to learn and offers a scientific solution to stress based on the integration of a broad range of sciences with emphasis on neuroplasticity, attachment theory and stress science.  Beginner and advanced courses, and private coaching provide an enriching environment to learn, practice and master the tools, and in effect create a life of joy!

It’s not you, it’s your wiring
Much of our stress is due to our wiring.   Our past episodes of responding to the demands of the day are recorded in the brain as a wire or string of nerve cells.  Many of our stress circuits were encoded in the emotional brain long ago and become reinforced with time.  If a similar situation arises, the old circuit becomes aroused.  We respond unconsciously emotionally, cognitively and behaviorally to the past.  Under stress, we want to stop the pain but unconsciously we are wired to believe that overeating, depression, anxiety, relationship strife give respite.  Anxiety blocks joy and confusion ensues.   Part of chronic stress is to identify with our negative moods, thoughts and behaviors, but it is important to know that it is not you, it’s your wiring.

Imagine yourself Wired for Joy
Fortunately, it is possible to wire the brain to experience joy based on the most recent revolutionary understanding of brain science. Stressful events are inevitable. However, Emotional Brain Training gives you the tools to not only move through stress quickly toward relief, but to gain wisdom, strength and a state of joy. Practicing these skills quiets cravings and unstoppable drives allowing freedom from excesses and enhancing well-being. Mastering the skills over time effectively rewires the brain’s emotional set point from a state of stress to a state of joy. In effect, you become “wired for joy”, and every aspect of life – mood, health, behaviors, pleasure, happiness, creativity, productivity, and relationships – are improved.
