Deep dives

Understanding Reactive Communication

Reactive communication occurs when individuals respond without considering their emotional state, leading to unproductive interactions. This type of communication is often characterized by anxiety or irritability, as the brain reacts impulsively rather than thoughtfully. It inflicts considerable strain on relationships, as it turns discussion into a ping-pong game of emotional outbursts that may not accurately reflect the underlying issues. Encouraging emotional regulation can transform this dynamic, allowing for more constructive conversations that engage emotional intelligence.

Given her Western training in psychology and psychotherapy and her Eastern training in meditation, Natalie brings a broader, holistic perspective to mental health and well-being.

Natalie began integrating neurofeedback technology into her therapy practice after witnessing its profound impact on trauma clients and those with ADHD and anxiety. She later founded the Neurofeedback Training Company to offer in-office and home neurofeedback programs nationally.

Natalie discusses the benefits of this science-backed, non-invasive therapy, and how neurofeedback can help train our brains to function more effectively, including improved focus, reduced anxiety, more regulated emotions, and better sleep.
