Why EBT Works
EBT is uniquely effective because it provides the only organized, direct, and practical method for you to take charge of your emotional brain, your most powerful body part.
In stress, the emotional brain activates circuits stored in the amygdala that disconnect us from the love inside us and block our joy. These wires trigger ways of coping that cause problems.
EBT gives us the power to switch off these stress circuits and activate wires that connect us to our self-love and joy and promote positive ways of coping. We naturally live happier, healthier lives.
The Amygdala
Storehouse for the circuits that that control health and happiness
There are Two Types of Stress Circuits
EBT provides immediate control of the circuits firing from the amygdala. The moment you feel stressed, overwhelmed, lost, or hungry for no reason, just reach for the EBT app. Switch off the ineffective wire and activate an effective one. It only takes a couple of minutes, and you are back to self-love and joy.
The Ineffective Circuit
Use EBT to rewire these circuits
The Effective Circuit
Use EBT to strengthen these circuits
Even a momentary switching of circuits can make your day, but the EBT Program is organized to do more than that. It teaches you to rewire any circuits that block your state of peace and joy. The real medical benefits of EBT come from using the skills that switch circuits with more precision and intensity, so the unwanted circuit is erased and the symptom you did not like is gone.
The EBT app and program have been developed over the last 40 years and reflect the latest brain science. However, it is when this technology is used with small group support that the tools can rewire circuits of trauma, addiction, mood disorders, relationship stress, obesity, and chronic diseases.
To discover and rewire the circuits that cause suffering requires loving-kindness and the experience of feeling seen, heard, and felt by another. The emotional brain is the social brain, so when we listen to others use the skills, our reward center lights up. We realize that we are not alone. Even if another person differs from us in all demographics, we soon find that they have the same circuits.
"The circuits are what produce emotions, behavior, and thoughts. They are at the core of who we are as individuals." Igor Mitrovic, MD, Professor of Physiology at UCSF and Scientific Director of EBT
The biggest gift of your support group besides making rewiring effective and inspiring is that you will be with others and experience their transformation - as well as your own. Sharing moments of triumph with each other and lending a hand when it is needed soothes the soul. Everyone has the same goal - raising the brain's set point for profound and lasting improvements in their lives.
