A thank-you from a person who used my communication services for a loved one with a serious, urgent condition, and an insurance company that was refusing to pay for the help that she needed:

"The most important thing, the surgery that she needed, was approved ahead of time, even though they'd previously told us flatly that there was no way that they'd approve it. The advice was a GREAT help :-) hope to cross paths with you sometime soon!" -Mike O.

Shimmering: Advanced Stress Management

I want everyone to know how to Shimmer. That's what I call turning experience into wisdom and adversity into peace of mind. Shimmering is something your brain does naturally, especially while you sleep, but it is also something you can activate, targeting your stress triggers and personal issues. It is also a way of life. I offer recorded talks and experiences. You can have a free sample four-minute mindfulness meditation experience from my album Shimmering 1 for Free Thinkers: Eliminate Stress and Experience Advanced Meditation here.

...and Related Audio Experiences

I developed the first recording used for EMDR-inspired processes, now called UpLevel. It has received much praise for its sound as well as it's gentle, yet compelling stereo sweep (bilateral sound). It has been used to help reduce stress triggers around the world, including war-torn and disaster areas.

I have various styles of bilateral sound, brainwave entrainment, and guided experiences with samples, comments, and information here.

Information and Tools for Professionals and Everyone Else

I offer a resource area on attention deficit disorder that includes current resources and fresh understanding.

I maintain this award-winning website, PsychInnovations.com, offering articles, media and resources for mental health professionals and the public. It includes my Hypertext Guide to Inner Work Processes that helps people understand and use visualization, energy work, and mental processes for practical purposes. It also offers the PsychIn™ Directory, emphasizing free sources of continuing education, news and research tools for mental health professionals.

I offer presentations on various topics, including a self-care approach that uses whole-brain stress management and creativity.

Organizations that have hosted my presentations include the State of Colorado, County of Santa Clara, County of Santa Cruz, University of North Carolina, YMCA, AT&T, Boulder Community Hospital, City of Grand Junction, Front Range Community College, Community College of Denver, The Rocky Mountain Healing Arts Institute, The Advanced Therapeutics Associates Power Therapy Conference, The International Society of Dissociative Disorders Colorado Chapter, and the Employee Assistance Professionals Association Colorado Chapter.
