Individual Sessions
Initial Session Assessment
- Full Health History: including medical illnesses, surgical procedures, accidents and previous psychological care, counseling or therapy.
- Symptom Survey: a questionnaire evaluating autonomic nervous system and organ system functioning (E.G. Endocrine, Digestive, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary). This helps to identify any weaknesses in your body systems due to stress. Based on this information, specific nutritional adjustments and/or a therapeutic supplement program are designed for you.
- Psychosocial Questionnaire: to assess what life events, themes and patterns may have affected mind-body function. It also helps to clarify areas where your learning can be focused for the greatest benefit.
- Biofeedback: two types of biofeedback are used at Ninth Wave. One form, based on twenty nine biological markers shows how your system is currently operating, demonstrates the effect of interventions and helps to design an individualized program. The second type is outlined below in the Methods and Techniques section.
