The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work

Based on the Gottman Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work bestseller, this workshop will help couples reconnect and rebuild trust and intimacy. While many couples may get stuck in perpetual conflict and turn away from one another, this program will help couples find their way back through repair, conflict management and creating shared meaning. Couples leave this program with strengthened bonds of friendship and intimacy.

Who is appropriate for The Seven Principles Program:

The Seven Principles Program is appropriate for couples contemplating engagement, pre-marital couples and couples married for decades. It is psycho-educational and is intended for couples who wish to enhance and enrich their relationship.

Who is not appropriate for The Seven Principles Program:

Psycho-educational classes are not appropriate for all couples, including those with severe relationship distress, significant emotional or physical abuse, serious emotional or mental health problems, relationships where one or both partners are actively addicted to drugs or alcohol, and relationships with serious compulsive behavior with gambling, sexual acting out, and other disruptive behaviors. In these situations, couples counseling or individual counseling may be more appropriate.

IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback MCN

IASIS MCN is a non-invasive, drug free therapy that helps optimize brain performance, improve brain and nervous system function, and support health and wellness. An EEG is used to measure brainwaves, and uses low-impact electrical signals (micro currents) to help unstick old negative brainwave patterns and create newer, healthier ones. Low impact micro current signals are used to help unstick old negative brainwave patterns. New neutral pathways are created as brain neuroplasticity is increased. Only frozen, stuck patterns are affected. Healthy, functional brainwave patterns are resilient and therefore unaffected by this treatment.

A lot is happening in your brain. Electrical pulses travel out from your brain along your Central Nervous System and govern everything you do. The sympathetic nervous system directs the body's rapid & involuntary response to dangerous or stressful situations. An "always on" sympathetic system can wreak havoc on your body in many ways such as: triggering prolonged muscle tension headaches, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate, hormonal imbalances, GI dysfunction, comprised immune system & even start to shrink the amount of grey matter in your brain. After the stressful situation has passed the parasympathetic nervous system takes over to stop these responses and calm the body. Though we need both systems to work, in general we want to exist in the more calm parasympathetic state. IASIS MCN is a non-invasive way to rebalance & reorganize the nervous system for better regulation & optimal brain performance.

IASIS MCN

is especially helpful for the treatment of:
Anxiety, Autism, Concussion, Depression, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), ADHD, Chronic Fatigue, Dementia, Emotional Eating, Long Covid, memory Issues, Headaches/Migraine, Peak Performance including Sports Performance
