Getting Started With EBT

Getting Started With EBT

“EBT Training has been a wonderful experience. It has provided me with tools that have enabled me to really improve my life, my health and my happiness. The time and money that I have invested in the training have been well worth it and then some!” — Terry, Santa Cruz, CA

Rewire the brain from stress to joy!

Misa offers EBT Groups, Specialty EBT Courses and Retreats, Individual Coaching, and Nutrition Consultations.

The emotional brain only changes through focused practice over time that is progressive, each change rests on the more fundamental changes that have come before. The courses give you progressive practice that follows the natural healing of the emotional brain.

It takes about one year to complete the courses for many people. Others take a more time. It takes as long as it takes. The goal? To rewire the emotional brain for balance and reward, or wired at Brain State 1, the optimal state for health and happiness.

EBT Support Options

This work is best done in community, and with the support of an EBT Provider, a health professional who has completed the course personally, and training in how to bring the tools to others. More than 90 percent of program graduates have used weekly group support for inspiration, skill building and motivation. If you are unable to make the location and times of EBT groups in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties, consider telegroups offered at ebt.org.

Introductory Course in Emotional Brain Training

Wired for Joy is the beginner course of EBT and a way to determine if EBT is right for you. Participants learn to identify their five emotional brain states and effectively apply just the right practice that most easily and quickly moves them to a state of freedom and well-being.  They also learn to collect “joy points” since pleasure swamps pain. Click on calendar or email Misa to learn about the next four-week Wired for Joy course ($100-120/4 week group course) or contact Misa for Individual Coaching (may complete in 3-4 session at $95-115/hour).

Advanced Course in Emotional Brain Training

After completing Wired for Joy, EBT offers a progressive training program in which participants build upon the tools learned in Wired for Joy and retrain the emotional brain by altering their set-point to be “wired for joy”. Old stress circuits are rewired to new circuits of joy. Participants work through six Kits, each which contain an information-packed journal, multi-media materials, and website support. EBT Groups meet for 1-1/2 hours weekly when EBT Provider Misa Lawson facilitates participants practicing EBT creating a fun and enriching environment! Learning in increments also favors improved results, thus the six EBT kits. Being in an emotional environment in which there is support for using the skills effectively and often, giving opportunities to practice the tools with others who share a common goal – being wired at 1 – in consistent with research on positive plasticity. $480/12 weeks (monthly payment plans available)
