Why did you create this Presentation?
Professionally ~ client after client have presented to my office with stress
related ailments. Hence, to better serve, I've attended numerous Continuing
Education classes, read umpteen articles,
medical reports, books, and so on, all focusing on some aspect of stress reduction.
A particular fascination and area of focus has been Psychoneuroimmunology (aka The Mind/Body/Immune System Connection)
My personal reason, has to do with CAPD.* I have this, and my daughter has this. It is a hereditary disorder, which
exacerbates when stress levels escalate.
Hence,
the goal of this seminar, was to help clients, but also my family, move closer to overall health and well-being.

(PNI).
What is Psychoneuroimmunology?
Psychoneuroimmunology
(PNI) is the science that investigates the Mind/Body/Immune System Connection. Our bodies remember - good, bad, or indifferent - experiences, and tag the significant with deep feeling. The body is the mind. (specifically the deeper mind)
Discovering how bodywork sometimes elicits an emotional response and/or painful memories in clients, because it can directly trigger neuropeptide sites (neurotransmitters) and bring imprinted experiences into consciousness, was pivotal. It validated what I have witnessed
throughout 27+ years of practice.
“For this is the great error of
our day that the physicians separate the soul from the body” ~ Hippocrates

More about CAPD
Central Auditory Processing Disorders "are problems
with one or more aspects of the central nervous system’s processing of auditory information coming from our auditory
nerves into something useful." Simply said, it has to do with what the brain does with the information the ears hear.
A few relevant symptoms: Inability to block out meaningless/excess background noise, sensitivity to sounds, feels like you're
at a very loud crowded party, auditory overload and fatigue are common. If you would like to know more, click here -> What is CAPD?
