The Think FLEXibly Blog
Some ideas anyone can benefit from. Our blog is intended to provide current and future clients some ideas and resources that we think are great.
Did you know that on top of all the individual workshops and seminars that our team members attend, the FLEX team completes in-house continuing education sessions each month to advance our practice and to support our clients better? Septembers session was hosted by FLEX's neonatal and paediatric consultant Esther Decaire, BScN, MN, NP-Paeds. Esther provided a comprehensive workshop for our assessment and treatment teams in order to expand their knowledge of how complications during pregnancy and birth can impact a child's development and self-regulatory capacities. These trainings assist our team in considering the multitude of factors that may contributing to the challenges are clients are experiencing. The session was a huge success and we would love to share it with our clients, treatment partners, and peers. We hope to announce the workshop as an on-demand webinar soon. People are starting to hear about FLEX's use of the Muse brain sensing headband with patients to develop mindfulness and accelerate gains in treatment. Muse is a portable and low-cost EEG device that uses neurofeedback when paired with your phone or tablet to teach you how to meditate and become more attuned to your moment to moment experience. That state of mindful awareness has been shown to lead to a variety of wellness gains, mental and physical health growth, and improved attention. Many of FLEX's clients have been using Muse for over a year and our director Michael Decaire has spoken to professional audiences on its use at conferences across the province and the world through online webinars. Last month, Dr. Cody Rall from YouTube's TechForPsych did a lengthy interview with Michael about his use of Muse and where he sees the future of psychotherapy going over the next decade. It's an exciting hour for clinicians, but also has some additional tidbits for Muse users. Members of the FLEX team are available now to introduce Muse as your primary course of treatment or as an add-on to traditional talk therapies.
Michael Decaire is available for in-person, online, or institutional trainings for implementing Muse in treatment. He is presenting on Muse at Leading Edge Seminars in Toronto this October and as part of his Future of Psychotherapy Series in November. |
