About The Exercises
Using exercises, activities, multidisciplinary approach supporting a focus on improving basic psychological needs, trauma recovery, resilience building, promoting long-term changes in neural pathways by addressing life experiences rather than the brain directly.
What do they do?
Insight into you or your child’s fluency and balance in movement, co-ordination, concentration, confidence and cognitive capacity will empower you or your child to achieve better functionality in a more positive, proactive way.
The physical exercises in Time 2 Train are those that inhibit the Primitive Reflexes; that strengthen the Postural Reflexes; and those that encourage growth of nerve pathways within the higher centres of the brain increasing integration of the different senses and the different specialisations of the brain.
How long do we train?
Training with these exercises in the program takes anything from 3 - 9 months to 2 years depending on the cause and quality of adherence to the program.
Repetition of sensory motor patterns, create more specific set of experience dependant synaptic linkages. When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle memory is created for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed without conscious effort.
Neuropsychotherapy
Our brain controls important functions of our body. From birth, neurons within the brain structures serve to protect us from danger by providing us with the analytical ability to assess danger and avoid it.
​
Your brain may signal fear or danger to your senses based on your past life experiences. For example, if you had a bad experience with a dog jumping on you as a kid, you may associate a dog with fear and anxiety. Thereafter, your brain may trigger a signal to stay away from dogs to avoid repeating that past negative experience. On the neurobiology level, you have developed a memory loop that clearly associates dogs with danger.
​
Neuropsychotherapy breaks your memory loop so that you are no longer have the same fears that induce anxiety. A professional strives to shift the brain into a state that enables these basic needs that are embedded in our brain structures to be fully satisfied. Neuropsychotherapy is a simple orientation to psychotherapy that takes neuroscience into account.
​
It was believed that our brains are hard-wired. Over time, research has proved that our brains have plasticity which means we can undo the entrenched neural wiring caused by our life experiences provided we get the right treatment.
​
Neuropsychotherapy is different from other therapy models as it is focused on neural processes that are dependent on human thoughts, emotions, memories, processing of life experiences, behaviour, and sensations. To deal with anxiety and depression, a neuropsychotherapist utilises cognitive, emotional, and environmental information to enhance treatment.
