Dr. Aliyah Snyder & Dr. Nate Ewigman join Matt to discuss their Psychophysiology Resilience Training Model.  Psychophysiology Resilience Training (PRT) is a 12-session, mindfulness-based biofeedback treatment protocol developed by Drs. Nate Ewigman & Aliyah Snyder. The treatment is applicable to a wide range of conditions and concerns that impact stress management and recovery by way of the Autonomic Nervous System. Some examples include traumatic brain injury, long COVID, migraine, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. In the first part of treatment, the client receives a stress profile which is a comprehensive psychophysiological assessment with individualized feedback and then learns evidence-based skills of psychophysiological stress recovery. After these skills are mastered and practiced regularly, the client then learns about their mind-body connection and how it relates to their concerns and/or symptoms, how to improve their healthy body awareness, skillful ways to deal with emotions and thoughts, and how to use these techniques to recover from and prevent stress from becoming chronic. Finally, the client receives tailored feedback on their progress. Currently, this treatment is still being tested and is currently only available in person in private clinics in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.
