Depression

Knowing Your Brain State

If you have struggled with depression, knowing your brain state can be very helpful. You may be familiar with the symptoms of depression, but when you see this condition through the paradigm of brain states, you can see yourself more accurately and know the most effective strategy for changing that state. Many participants find that by learning how to identify their brain state, they feel calmer and a greater sense of control.

The Basics

Depression is the most prevalent medical condition worldwide, and 25% of people experience severe depression in their lifetime. Current treatments are anti-depressants, psychotherapy and exercise.

The EBT Approach

Brain studies have shown that repeated episodes of stress can cause the brain's reward centers to change in ways that diminish joy. The symptom of missing out on that joy is depression. The brain demands joy, so getting stuck in self-pity, powerlessness, and negativity can become so familiar that it is a "joy substitute." The brain likes whatever is familiar!

The EBT approach is learn tools to get that joy back. The goal of the method is to rewire the brain's set point for freedom from the whole range of common excesses and an abundance of the joys of an exceptional life.
