Alpha-Theta Training for Stress Therapy

Kristin Klocko, Pharm.D., RPh, PSc.D., owner of Health His Way, will host a Neurofeedback Open House from 7 to 8 p.m., November 12, for people to learn more about Alpha-Theta Training. Health His Way uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), neurofeedback with PhotoStim, nutritional counseling and analysis of genetic (DNA) results to help people optimize their health.

Psychological trauma and unremitting stress not only break connections within the brain, but also between the mind and body. From chronic stress from child abuse, neglect, abandonment, bullying, significant betrayals and relational stress to war trauma, violent crimes and natural disasters, how a person handles psychological stress depends on many factors.

If the stress or trauma is not processed or integrated properly in the brain, there can be ongoing difficulties such as inability to concentrate, sleep disturbances, relational problems, generalized anxiety, anger, fear, inability to trust, memory issues and paranoia. Digestive issues, muscular issues, tremors, depression, anxiety and cancer have all been scientifically linked to unresolved psychological stress.

Location: 1492 Pebblestone Cove, Wheaton. RSVP to 630-254-0766. For more information, visit Health-His-Way.com.
