A life coach in Carlsbad has been helping people work through their trauma with a revolutionary program that optimizes how the brain works.
More than 70% of adults in the United States have experienced major and minor trauma in their lives, which can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from bodyaches to hopelessness and anxiety. This can lead to a life of quiet desperation.
Bruce “Buck” McDavid, M.A., who experienced his own suffering throughout his life, is using the NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback® System to help many of his clients work through mental, physical and emotional blocks caused by trauma.
“I meet people where they’re at,” McDavid said. “I help people deal with their trauma, and NeurOptimal® is the one-two punch that facilitates the healing process.”
NeurOptimal® is a proprietary neurofeedback system that works as a highly personalized brain training software, prompting the central nervous system to optimize and correct itself.
Used for over 40 years to optimize the brain, neurofeedback is a painless, non-invasive method of restoring balance within the central nervous system. Specifically, NeurOptimal® monitors the brain’s electrical output and mirrors it back to your brain for you to choose new information to make different choices.
The program is broken down into 33-45-minute sessions and works over time, although McDavid said some of his clients start experiencing results almost immediately. A client typically needs about 15 to 20 sessions to achieve optimum results. Some clients continue brain-training sessions to change other deep rooted issues.
For each session, a client lies back in a reclining chair in a quiet office setting. McDavid places clips and sensors on the ears and head that read the subtle, electrical activity of the brain. Calming, tranquil music is played during the process.
A client will hear an occasional break in the music that sounds like static. That sound is the program providing feedback to your brain, which then subconsciously regulates itself to a homeostatic state.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has designated NeurOptimal® as a general wellness product and is safe for all ages.
“It’s not a cure or treatment, but it creates amazing results,” McDavid said.
J.C. is a 34-year-old woman who has struggled with ADD all her life. She has also endured many levels of trauma and abuse and is 12 years sober from drugs and alcohol.
For J.C., working through her recovery program was difficult due to her ADD and trauma-related emotional issues.
“There were holes in my life that needed mending,” J.C. said.
According to J.C., her first NeurOptimal® session changed her life. She has now completed over 60 sessions.
“I have become more cognitively and emotionally level with my attention and overall focus,” she said. “My life has drastically changed and not only how I view myself but how I view life in general. I can relax and not be wound so tight, along with being able to plan my day in a linear fashion.”
