Training Course Outline for Introduction to Audio-Visual Entrainment: Arousal, AVE Technology and Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES)
Few people including clinicians have ever observed their own responses to stressors, fearful thoughts, guided imageries, and so on. Therefore, roughly, one-third of the course time is directed toward hands-on experience where the attendee not only observes other people’s behavior in various situations but also develops self-awareness of his/her own behaviors through a series of simple, effective experiments.
Module 1 – Arousal
a) Lecture - Learn about arousal and fear. Humans have fear responses to physical threats, rejection from others, rejection from self, repressed memories and imagined threats. We are indeed the most fear-based organism on the planet.
b) Practical - Learn about how people hold tension in their bodies. Learn arm-relaxing exercises and the effect of electromyography (EMG) and electrodermal responses (EDR) to stress and relaxation.
c) Lecture - Learn about the physiological impacts and the psychological aspects of trauma. QEEGs (brain maps) are also presented.
d) Practical - Cortical Arousal: Learn the difference between attention and meditation using EEG alpha wave monitoring.
e) Practical - Learn the effects of challenge and stress "playing" the ThinkFAST game while being monitored for EDR and EEG.
Module 2 - Introduction to Audio-Visual Entrainment
a) Lecture - Learn about the physiological mechanisms of AVE.
b) Lecture - learn about the psychological aspects of AVE.
c) Lecture - Review the studies completed using AVE (these include chronic pain, dental applications, FMS, SAD and insomnia).
d) Lecture - Review the studies using AVE to treat ADD/ADHD and how dynamics at home and school create "mock" symptoms producing false positives and how treatment needs to be tailored in these situations.
Module 3 - Using AVE with Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
a) Lecture - Learn about HRV and review clinical cases involving depression, anxiety and trauma with pre/post AVE outcomes.
b) Demo - Learn how the heartbeat in the DAVID systems may be used to pace breathing for HRV work and how to use the Freeze Framer system.
c) Practical - Use the Freeze Framer during various mental conditions and during AVE.
Module 4 - AVE Side Effects and Contraindications, and DAVID Equipment Operation and Protocols
a) Lecture - Learn about AVE side-effects to avoid problems and maximize outcomes.
b) Lecture - Learn about AVE contraindications to avoid problems.
c) Demo - Learn how to use the DAVID systems in clinical setting for maximum client comfort and what to instruct clients for home use.
d) Lecture - Learn about the 22 protocols used for treating various maladies and conditions.
Module 5 - Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES)
a) Lecture - Review the principles of CES operation.
b) Lecture - Review a number of the 126 published studies on CES.
c) Lecture - Learn how to use CES in conjunction with AVE.
d) Practical - Experience CES, noting its effects.
