Another approach

At the Rocky Mountain Center for Epilepsy, we use a holistic bio-psycho-social model of care. Through our work together, we will support you in improving your quality of life. We’ll help you:

Learn healthy coping strategies for both real and perceived limitations caused by your seizures
Improve unwanted emotional aspects of your diagnosis, including shame, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and/or anger
Recognize seizure triggers and transform (not avoid) your relationship with them
Learn how to transform feelings of stress and overwhelm
Use nutrition/food to support greater brain health
Gain a deeper understanding of how nervous system activation builds increasingly: including anxiety, depression, symptoms of PTSD, and seizure activity
Learn how to down-regulate nervous system over-activation
Increase mindfulness and self-awareness in regards to smallest emotional, physiological, and physical changes, leading to your ability to “not go into a seizure”
Learn how to regulate your breathing (CO2 levels) to increase oxygen levels available to the brain
Explore questions, insecurities, and hopes around your diagnosis
We use a variety of complementary techniques, depending on each patient’s individual needs. Our work together may include psychotherapy and life coaching, mindfulness training and meditation, stress-reduction techniques, professionally guided support groups, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and aura disruption techniques.
