In many cases, redirecting long-established patterns of behavior requires more than good intentions and hard work. Basic patterns of attention, arousal and response are created and maintained at deep neurophysiological levels which may be subject to change by retraining the brain directly. Brainwaves are monitored by a computer and goals are set that require the trainee to voluntarily produce more beneficial brain wave patterns. As the trainee exercises this ability to voluntarily change brain activity, new and beneficial response patterns are created. Practiced over an average of 20 to 40 half-hour sessions, these new modes of behavior are well learned, becoming The Mental Fitness Program uses two types of brainwave training to help change patterns of behavior and optimize performance.
Every mental task requires a precise sequence of activation and rest.
Sometimes this activity can become unstable, unreliable, or stuck in a narrow range of response. It helps moderate and control extreme mood states and compulsive, impulsive or hyperactive behavior, and it improves regulation of tension and stress, sleep and activity levels. It also increases mental acuity, memory and performance. Negative self-talk is dispelled. Memories of past traumas can be acknowledged and released, and unproductive behavior patterns rescripted within a comfortable mental state.
