Descriptive Narrative:

This presentation will teach the fundamental principles behind the application of attachment-based interpersonal processes whose outcomes are accelerated by precise brain stimulation with color/light and how peripheral eye movement impacts emotion, cognition, and physiology.  Amplified emotional attunement/attachment, through interpersonal neurobiological processes through color and light can more rapidly change those neural networks which possess disturbances related to the client’s stated issue. PTSD, addictions and many other psychological conditions occur primarily in brain mechanisms that involve implicit memory and are not usually accessible through conscious, verbal means alone. Of the three billion cells in the human brain, over two billion are activated by visual stimulation. With the implementation of visual brain stimulation through color and light during interpersonal processing, implicit brain activity can be rapidly accessed and disturbances can be quickly changed

Objectives:

Upon successfully attending and completing this presentation participants will be able to: 

• Define key elements of ETT; including experiential therapy whose methods rely on the primacy of emotion and the consequential cognitive, behavioral and transpersonal outcomes of those emotions.
• Be able to specify wavelengths of light which resonates with three specific emotional, cognitive and somatic distresses.
• Report two key principles related to the application of light for the alleviation of cognitive, emotional, and somatic distress.
• Identify at least three diagnoses in which ETT could be effective.
