In EBT, anxiety is recognized as a symptom of wiring. Wires are encoded during stressful experiences, then triggered repeatedly, becoming stronger and easier to trigger again. The brain’s emotional set point decreases and it develops the stress habit. The EBT Approach is to learn the tools to process stress in a highly effective way, and improve the brain’s emotional set point.

Learn the 5 Tools of EBT, and notice how much more power you have to control your stress and anxiety. Continue with EBT to improve the brain’s emotional set point, and see lasting and profound changes in every aspect of life.

Depression is the most prevalent medical condition worldwide, and 25% of people experience severe depression in their lifetime. Current treatments are anti-depressants, psychotherapy and exercise.

According to EBT, depression is primarily a symptom of wiring that triggers stress. If the wiring that controls how we process daily life is not highly effective or life throws us too many stressful experiences, the most common symptom is depression. The EBT Approach is to learn the tools to process stress effectively, and improve the brain’s natural “default” position from stress and negative emotions to balance — and joy.

We have what matters.

Although relationships, including those outside romantic adult ones, require consideration of two parties, the focus of EBT is decidedly individual. The purpose of EBT practice is equip you with the skills to know your brain state, whether you are in stress or balance, and to pop your brain into balance and to stay in that moment more of the time.

In that state of balance, you’ll experience high levels of well being. You’ll feel powerful, present and rewarded. You’ll have desire. In that state, you’ll not only feel peace, pleasure, and comfort from within, but those good feelings will naturally spill over into feelings of love for others – and for life. In that state of intimacy with yourself, you will find yourself more apt to be deeply and rewardingly intimate with others.

The abundance of intimacy and pleasure brings with it an unexpected bonus. The brain is reward driven. Our pleasure pathways seek rewards and, if we don’t get them from natural sources — intimacy with self, others and life – then our cravings and appetites for common stress-related excesses ramp up. The unexpected bonus of using EBT is that those cravings and appetites tend to fade away.

We all want love. Giving and receiving love is the ultimate pleasure. And just to make it harder, from a developmental perspective, emotional closeness, lasting desire, and loving companionship are the most evolved things we do; they require the highest amounts of these skills.

That’s why committed relationships are “people growing machines”. The rewards are so sweet that we’ll accept the pain involved to get it. What’s better than a shared belly laugh with your love, the tender touch, the wordless knowing, the quivering desire, and the shared moments an memories of friends and family? No wonder people will go to the ends of the earth to follow their soul mate, even though going there takes a credit card and an airline ticket. Those are not hard to get. It’s when we arrive that we’d better have our tool kit of these tools at hand.

Relationships are about connections, and connections are a matter of neural networks. Your relationship is in its current state because of factors that were largely beyond your control even if it seems otherwise. Much of the capacity to create intimacy in our lives comes from genetics and early experiences, and much of the stress that cuts into the safety of relationships is situational. A cluster of losses, changes, and upset may have brought out the worst in both of you. The tools to change those strongly wired neural networks have been hard to come by – until now. EBT gives you those tools. It’s part of the human condition to have rough patches and rocky periods in relationships. Our neural networks cause us to feel attracted to those sho a re like those who raised us – both positive and negative tendencies. You chose this partner, in part, because of your wiring.

EBT is a very powerful method but your results won’t be as dramatic if you hold onto resentments. Forgiveness is the rational thing to do. But even though it may be logical to forgive and begin again, forgiveness isn’t a matter of logic. It is emotional. We can’t think our way to forgiveness. It requires far deeper work. True forgiveness requires the neurological rewiring of emotional circuits in the brain the bring acceptance and wisdom.

Healing the past takes feeling our feelings, not only about our partners, but or early wounds too. It takes going into the hotbed of the feeling brain and looking at the very roots of those feelings – and at the unreasonable expectations the have fueled them – and changing. Them. We find the nuggest of truth that is fueling those emotional overractions, thoe neural networks of pain, and when we do, we can heal. Lvoing others heals and matures us. Blaming others keeps us stuck in stress and immaturity.

In addition to the five basic EBT tools, other EBT tools are woven in to this method and will aid in your development including: Making Requests, Intimacy Connections, Intimacy Cycle, Zero Tolerance Tool, and Splitting Tool.

Joy is contagious. The power of one person getting these skills in which they can stay at a 1 in which they feel connected – spiritually, emotionally, relationally – can be so contagious because in your brain are mirror neurons that pick up the emotions of others – if you can stay in joy when others are stressed, they can pick up your joy, your balance, and that it transmitted to there brain through mirror neuons. They arouse circuits that are similar to your circuits which arouse joy. So, you can imagine that these EBT tools are catching and affect those around us!

Overweight affects 67 percent of Americans, and overeating is the most common excess in the nation. Treatment includes diets, exercise or surgery.

Overweight and the drive to overeat are symptoms of wiring. Wires encoded from stressful experiences create chemical drives to overeat. The brain changes its emotional set point to stress, and overeating and weight gain increase. The EBT Approach is to learn the tools to process stress effectively, rewire the circuits that trigger the drive to overeat, and improve the brain’s emotional set point.

Learn the 5 Tools of EBT, and notice how much more power you have to control your stress and your eating. Rewire the circuits that trigger the drive to overeat. Continue with EBT to improve the brain’s emotional set point, and see lasting and profound changes in every aspect of life.

With 67 percent of Americans overweight, and sugary, fatty food the nation’s #1 addiction, food addiction is the most common reason that participants choose EBT.

The EBT Approach

Food addiction is caused by:

1. A Survival Circuit – a circuit that is encoded during stress that creates a false association between food and survival. That circuit is unconscious and until it is rewired it is not reasonable to expect that habit change will be lasting. In fact, methods that recommend changes in food behaviors prior to rewiring that circuit often result in poor results or a substitute addiction, such as alcohol, cigarettes, spending or hoarding. In EBT, you learn a three-stage process to rewire that circuit so that the drive to overeat decreases. Food is just food, not a fix!

2. An Emotional Set Point In Stress – with repeated episodes of stress the brain’s emotional set point becomes locked in chronic stress. In that state, changes in cortisol and imbalances in neurotransmitters increase the drive to overeat and the tendency to store central fat, which increases risk of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. EBT advanced courses are aimed at resetting the brain to a new set point in balance and reward. The goal of the training is to have freedom from the whole range of common excesses and an abundance of the higher order rewards of life.

Managing diabetes is stressful, and the blood sugar highs and lows associated with diabetes add to that stress. Most diabetics struggled with overweight, and stress is at the roots of overweight, too. How we process stress is stored in the wiring of the emotional brain. The EBT approach is to learn the tools to process stress in a highly effective way, which improves the brain’s wiring – and its emotional set point.

Two of the most common addictions are alcohol and cigarettes, but given the Three C’s definition, one can develop an Internet addiction, as well. Please see Misa’s explanation of food addiction on her web page Food, Weight & Eating Disorders.
