A study has found that just 30 minutes of light bar trauma work can improve sleep and reduce the severity of PTSD symptoms. Imagine what an hour of light bar work can do to release past trauma.
For those of you that are unfamiliar, a light bar is a tool that can be set up in a practitioner's office. It is a literal metal or plastic bar positioned on top if a tripod with LED lights that "sweep" back and forth, eliciting in the client the bilateral eye movements that are associated with changing negative thoughts and reprocessing and looking at a traumatic event in a more positive and perhaps a more realistic manner. A practitioner may choose to hold the bar in their hand and move it back and forth with the same results.
Light bars provide great illumination and a better working environment without increasing glare and discomfort for the client.
“As a treatment for a psychiatric problem, which includes trauma, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, light therapy has a remarkably high success rate of 60–80%,” (“says Brainard. Jan 2, 2016.”)
Bilateral stimulation, which is accomplished by watching the light bar is believed to activate the brain’s information processing systems and facilitate the reorganization of traumatic memory.
What watching the light bar succeeds in accomplishing is to keep the logical mind busy and distracted. Our logical mind is where our psychological defenses are stored, and where we hold the blockages to facing our traumas and fears due to the mind’s “protective” role. However, releasing the logical mind’s hold over us actually frees us to heal in a much quicker time frame. There is no danger in freeing the logical mind and the person will never encounter more memories and/or emotions and feelings that they can tolerate, so there is no worry about allowing our subconscious memories and feelings to arise, while the “logical mind” is distracted. In truth, it is those subconscious memories that keep us bound up in our unhealthy behaviors and keeps us engaged with our unhealthy and restricting fears. The individual is always in control and can stop the process at any time.
Light bar work is often connected with the EMDR practice (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). However, there are many uses for the light bar, even some forms which are used in dermatology.
Light Bar Trauma work when combined with art and/or a person’s spiritual component, has a monumental and profound effect on a person’s life in a relatively short period of time. It is not necessary to combine them, however it provides a deeper understanding for the individual. This form of work is much faster than simple talk therapy, as it gains quicker access to a person’s subconscious memories which would normally possibly take years with standard counseling.
I have used this form of counseling for over five (5) years and have found it exceedingly helpful, calming and relieving for clients who suffer from trauma, anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, and depression as well as many other symptoms.
Please don’t hesitate to call 480-430-6324 to get your questions answered. There will be a short questionnaire to assess your suitability for this type of trauma work, and after that the work can begin immediately. It is recommended that a strong commitment on your part be made to yourself and to the work. You can also send an email to starroad@aol.com to request more information and to discuss the questionnaire.
