Understanding & Healing ADD/ADHD 2 day course: Jan 31, Feb 1
ADD ESSENTIALS Lynda & Michael Thompson This workshop is about achieving excellent results with ADD clients using a combination of techniques. The emphasis is on how to combine neorofeedback with selected other interventions for ADD. These include: biofeedback, diet/nutrition, sleep, exercise, family guidance and therapy, metacognitive strategies, medications, subliminal alpha tapes, light & sound, SAMONAS sound therapy, cerebral blood flow and cognitive training. We discuss differential training for sub-types of Attention Deficit Disorder, and for people with attentional difficulties related to other problems such as seizure disorders, depression, anxiety, and Asperger’s Syndrome. Lynda Thompson co-authored the best-selling THE ADD BOOK Judith Lubar will present a special 2 hour section on the crucial area of understanding and intervening with family issues, particularly inter-generational anger problems.
WHEN LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH
We love our children and have hopes and dreams for
them. If we had parents who
gave us adequate love and approval and our children
do not match our hopes and
dreams we can regroup and set new goals that that
match the child we were
given. We can travel with them along the path of
time on a road we had not
conceived until they arrived. Sometimes however our
family history, particular
pressures of our family of origin messages, and
personal needs that have never
been met make it impossible to switch. The results
can be extremely painful
for the child and the parents. This is especially
true for some families of
ADD and ADHD children for their behavior makes them
a lightening rod for
parental and sibling anger.
We now know that when the environment is very
stressful (as it often is when
hopes, dreams and reality collide) changes can and
do occur in the limbic and
prefrontal areas of the brain resulting in
loss of connections and decreased
metabolism of these key structures in a very
young child. These losses can
have profound effects on the interpersonal
relationships of these individuals
throughout their life. We now also know that
specific EEG signatures change
with depression, grief and dysthymia. We also
know that anxiety can prevent
learning. We can actually measure these changes
through quantitative EEG and
by observing changes of EEG measures over time in
the same locations. We can
further see these changes on the MRI and SPECT
scans.
In this presentation these concepts will be
illustrated and amplified with
actual family histories presented to illustrate how
family multigenerational
pressures create the pain in the family and data of
the actual measured
negative EEG changes that can be verified . We
will also address some
specific techniques that can be used to positively
change the child’s
physiology and normalize the family climate.

About Thom Hartmann Thom Hartmann is an internationally known speaker on psychotherapy and communications, an author, and an innovator in the fields of psychiatry, ecology, and the intersection of spiritual and cultural transformation. The founder of The New England Salem Children’s Village (1978) and The Hunter School (1997), he has led national innovations in the areas of residential treatment for abused children and private/public education for learning-disabled children. Hartmann is the award-winning, best-selling author of eleven books currently in print. He is the former executive director of a residential treatment program for emotionally disturbed and abused children, and has helped set up and support hospitals, famine relief programs, schools, and communities for orphaned or blind children in India, Uganda, Australia, Colombia, and the United States. Rostered with the State of Vermont as a psychotherapist, he was the originator of the revolutionary "Hunter/Farmer Hypothesis" to understand the psychiatric condition known as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). He also synthesized the "Younger/Older Culture model" for describing the underpinnings - and possible solutions - to the world’s ecological and socio-political crises, suggesting that our problems are grounded in our cultural "stories" which go back thousands of years. His most recent books (2000) are "Thom Hartmann’s Complete Guide to ADHD," and "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight," with a foreword by Joseph Chilton Pearce and afterword by Neale Donald Walsch. Hartmann’s books have been written about in Time and many other magazines, he has been on NPR and BBC radio and CNN television (among others), mentioned on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, and has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people on five continents over the past two decades. One of his books was selected for inclusion in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian for its "visionary use of information technology to produce positive social, economic, and educational change in medicine." As a result of his book "The Prophet's Way," he received an unsolicited invitation in August 1998 for a personal audience with Pope John Paul II at the Pope's summer palace on Lake Gandolfo. His book "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" brought about an unsolicited invitation for him to participate in the weeklong AGNT meeting in September 1999 with His Holiness The Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India. Hartmann holds several degrees in various aspects of complimentary medicine (1971-78), studied acupuncture in Beijing (1986), and is a licensed and certified NLP Practitioner (1994) and NLP Trainer (1996) with the Society of NLP. For this latter, he was trained by Leif Roland and Richard Bandler, who wrote the foreword to Hartmann’s NLP book "Healing ADD." A recurrent theme in Hartmann’s work is that all true and lasting cultural change begins with personal change propagating through enough people to reach a critical mass. Thus, he urges us all to be conscious and open to the world, showing that doing all you can to save the planet and improve the human condition requires both personal spiritual connection and global intent. He points out that history demonstrates that even the tiniest and most anonymous actions can have world-changing ramifications, and that "when stories change, history changes." (Good examples from the 20th century are the stories that women in America should not be allowed to vote, or that blacks should have separate facilities and schools. Once these centuries-old toxic stories began to break down, cultural change came almost immediately.) Other "stories" that must change include the ideas that our creator is angry with us, that humans are inherently evil (and it’s a woman’s fault), and that sin and punishment are appropriate models in a culture (as opposed to imbalance and balance).
