Why EBT Will Work for You

You've probably tried it all—mindfulness apps, deep breathing, therapy, even medication. But if you're still feeling stressed, reactive, or overwhelmed, the problem isn't you. It's a few pathways in your emotional brain that were encoded through no fault of your own.

Here's the science: We all have some of these pathways and we can change them with the simple, proven techniques of EBT.

Developed at UCSF and backed by 40 years of research, EBT is not only effective but enormously helpful in daily life. Use it quickly to switch off reactivity, cravings and negative moods. Also, use it with intensity to change pathways encoded by stress to treat emotional health problems and chronic diseases.

EBT puts you in charge.Instead of relying excessively on therapy or medications, you become skilled at taking control of your own brain pathways.

How does it work? Every time you do not feel good, do something about it. Use an EBT tool for couple of minutes and switch off the brain pathway that makes you feel that way. Become picky about how you feel. Instead of accepting anxiety, numbness or overwhelm, use EBT to feel better on the spot.

What happens as you continue to use EBT? Your new and improved brain pathways will start connecting you to your inherent strength, goodness and wisdom automatically. Your natural capacity for joy and vibrancy will start shining through.

Begin by using EBT to resolve one problem that has been bothering you. Come to our drop-in sessions with Dr. Laurel and other EBT Providers and be inspired! Then determine if you want more. If you do, continue your membership, rewiring other pathways until your brain has become wired for a life of joy and purpose. Take it day by day, and notice that these incredibly effective tools are transforming your life.
