Mending Emotional Trauma

https://deniseschonwald.comMy name is Denise Schonwald and Im a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Registered Nurse. Im spiritually-based and Id like to talk to you about a program that Im offering. Its called Mindful Emotional Healing. The acronym for that is MEH because with trauma or experiences that weve never processed, they sit in the body and they manifest either behaviorally or through some sort of physical illness. A lot of times we dont process emotions or trauma or bad experiences because we are afraid. They were so painful when we experienced them that we dont want to revisit it. But unless we revisit it, it sits in the body, and this causes us to feel overwhelmed, fatigued, a lot of times we start to get sick. And with Mindful Emotional Healing, we can clear these emotions through the body. Believe or not, they go all the way down to the cellular level. And we can start to feel better physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. Ive seen people experience fewer injuries, better health, being more productive at work, their families have noticed a big difference in their overall demeanor. Mindful Emotional Healing, it is 8 sessions. Its a little bit more comprehensive. I would love to talk to you more about Mindful Emotional Healing. Please give me a call at 410-913-8963 or visit my website at DeniseSchonwald.com and book a free 30-minute consultation to see if this program is right for you. -----I am a practicing licensed spiritually based mental health counselor and mental intuitive and have been a registered nurse for over 30 years. I work with children ages 4 and older, couples, families and adults. I am in private practice and have early morning and evening appointments available. I treat many disorders including anxiety, depression, panic, grief, behavioral issues, trauma, marital and family issues. I offer a comfortable quiet environment and have the flexibility of changing my schedule to accommodate urgent needs of my patients.

Vivistim Paired VNS Therapy System for Stroke RecoveryVivistim, a breakthrough treatment for stroke survivors to improve their hand and arm function. Vivistim is the first FDA-approved neurostimulation device to pair VNS (vagus nerve stimulation) with rehabilitation therapy and daily activities. This pairing helps strengthen the brain connections needed to improve hand and arm function. Its the only system of its kind, and it is proven safe and effective.How Does it Work?The Vivistim System is designed to help increase neuroplasticity to help improve hand and arm movements. During rehabilitation exercises and at-home activities, Vivistim is activated to gently stimulate the brain via the vagus nerve. This boost to the brain helps strengthen and create new neural pathways. When the Vivistim Therapy boosts the brains neural activity, it builds lasting connections that continue to work, even when Vivistim is not in use.What is the Process?Vivistim is implanted a same-day, outpatient procedure. The small medical device (similar to a pacemaker) that can fit in the palm of a hand, is placed under the skin in the upper left chest wall and neck region during a short outpatient procedure.A few weeks after the Vivistim device is implanted, when the stroke survivor is cleared for physical activity by the surgeon, they will start Vivistim Therapy with a therapist in a rehabilitation setting. The therapist will use a remote that sends a wireless signal to the implanted device via a laptop computer which delivers a brief, gentle pulse to the vagus nerve while the stroke survivor performs various rehabilitation tasks. This in-clinic rehabilitation therapy typically lasts 6 weeks, a few times per week.Vivistim Therapy is also done outside the rehabilitation environment (e.g. at home) and patients are encouraged to start this part of rehabilitation as early as the first day of therapy in the clinic. Patients activate a session on their own with a simple swipe of the Vivistim Magnet.Am I a Candidate for Vivistim?Vivistim Therapy is intended for chronic ischemic stroke survivors who have limited hand and arm function six months or more after their stroke and are considered to have moderate to severe deficits by a healthcare professional.Complete this qualification survey to find out if Vivistim might be right for you!
