Alpha-Stim at Birthstone

A major part of the early stages of trauma treatment, including methods like EMDR therapy and Brainspotting, involves preparation and symptom stabilization. During this phase, we are training the body and brain to move towards healing, instead of remaining in survival mode where relief is only temporary.  

Our lived experiences shape how we navigate life. Your nervous system may communicate messages like, "To feel safe, we need to stay alert and active—don't rest," or perhaps, "To be safe, retreat and stay quiet." If your body has been conditioned to remain in survival mode due to PTSD or complex trauma, it is essential to help it feel secure enough to regulate and enjoy prolonged safety, which is fundamental to effective trauma treatment.  

One effective way to support this process is through the use of an Alpha-Stim device. The Alpha-Stim device is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive tool that delivers stimulation to the brain, promoting rapid anxiety relief and effective depression treatment. It allows the body and mind to feel secure enough to transition out of survival mode. This innovative device also complements the trauma healing process remarkably well, offering significant benefits for treating anxiety, depression, and insomnia.  

At Birthstone, you have the unique opportunity to utilize an Alpha-Stim device during your sessions, as well as to take one home for a three-week period to enhance your ongoing trauma treatment.
