Greetings,
We are thrilled to announce that the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) has accepted the Brain and Sensory Foundations, First Level training for continuing education* for professional counselors!

This is especially fitting since Harald Blomberg, MD, psychiatrist and mentor, did so much to help individuals with mental health challenges by using innate and integrative movements. If you missed Dr. Blomberg's special chart from a previous email, you can access it here.

Teri Gelgood, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist of more than 20 years—and here is what she said
about this program: "Brain and Sensory Foundations provides research-based, neuroscientific information
and teaches neuro-sensory-motor interventions that are critical to helping regulate and mature the brainstem,
thereby healing the roots of many mental health disorders." Go here for Teri's valuable insight on how effective neurodevelopmental movements can be for developmental trauma.

Below you will find case studies written by students of the Brain and Sensory Foundations, First Level course. The case studies show how profound transformation is possible using these tools for mental health challenges like anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, OCD, and reactive attachment disorder (RAD).

Join me in celebrating this happy news! I appreciate any help you can give to share this email with mental health therapists far and wide.

Best wishes,
Sonia Story


Before discovering rhythmic movements and reflex integration, this boy
was depressed and lethargic, had been pulled out of school due to
behavior issues, and was struggling with friendships. Now, he is excited
for all the possibilities in his future, is more engaged in new activities, is
less less clingy, and is exhibiting more mature behavior with his friends.
What a difference!

Thank you to MF, parent, for submitting this case study.

Doing innate movements has helped her engage with her
environment without anxiety, tantrums, or over-stimulation!

Therapist Helps Boy with ADHD Show His Skills and Gain
His "First True Success"

This 5-year-old boy had been expelled from school for behavior
and impulse-control issues. After trying various settings, therapies,
and treatment options, it was innate rhythmic movements and
reflex integration that made the difference. Today, he is thriving in
his new school in a general-education classroom.

Thank you to Kerbe Shephard, OTR/L, for submitting this case study.

 


Pushing, Hitting, and Biting Diminish

This child would often have meltdowns and hit and bite other
children. These behaviors caused him to be pulled from school
and OT. After finding an OT who did rhythmic movement and
reflex integration, he was able to overcome these challenges
and to go back to school. Innate rhythmic and reflex movements
can be used to turn problematic behaviors around and heal
developmental trauma.

Thank you to Jennifer Everett, OTR, for submitting this case study.
