Transformative Neurotherapy Podcast

How Does Neurotherapy Help With Learning Disabilities?

What if learning could feel lighter because the brain itself runs better? We take you inside a practical, science-backed approach to dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning challenges, showing how targeted neurotherapy can speed up processing, improve communication between key regions, and make practice finally stick.

We break down why traditional tutoring sometimes plateaus...

What Is The Healing Power Of Intensive Neurotherapy?

When healing can’t wait, momentum matters. We dive into the strategy behind intensive neurotherapy—two sessions a day, five days a week—to show how frequent, targeted input helps the brain learn faster, reduce regression between appointments, and translate neural gains into real-world relief. From brain fog and poor sleep to trauma, ADHD, and stress, we walk through a clear plan f...

How Does Neurotherapy Help With Brain Injuries, Including Concussions?

A hit to the head can steal your clarity in seconds, but the real story is what happens next: the brain slips into an energy crisis and struggles to keep up. We break down that cascade in plain language—reduced blood flow, lower oxygen, stressed mitochondria—and show how gentle, targeted neurotherapy helps reverse it. From photobiomodulation boosting ATP to pulse...

How Does Neurotherapy Help With Betrayal Trauma?

Your safe person became unsafe, and your nervous system took the hit. We unpack how betrayal trauma scrambles the brain’s threat circuits, blurs memory and focus, and leaves you bouncing between panic and shutdown—and how targeted neurotherapy helps restore calm, clarity, and self-trust you can feel. With Dr. Heather Putney’s background in marriage and family therapy and certification...

How Does Neurotherapy Help With Sex Addiction?

What if the fastest path out of compulsive sexual behavior starts with training your brain, not trying harder? We open the black box of sex addiction and show how neurotherapy reduces overarousal, loosens obsessive loops, and builds the space where choice returns. Drawing on years of clinical work with individuals and couples, we explain why so many high performers get caught in the dop...

How Does Neurotherapy Help with Autism and Developmental Delays?

What if the brain could revisit missed steps and finally catch up? We sit down with Dr. Heather Putney to unpack how neurotherapy helps kids and adults with autism and developmental delays move from overwhelm to traction—by targeting the exact networks that make daily life hard. From sensory overload and impulsivity to reading struggles and social disconnect, we map th...

How does Neurotherapy help with Trauma?

What if your brain could stop bracing for impact and start working for you again? We sit down to unpack how neurotherapy helps trauma move through the nervous system, reduces hypervigilance, and restores the balance that makes real life possible again. Drawing on years of trauma psychotherapy and brain-based care, we explain why pairing neurotherapy with EMDR and Internal Family Systems create...

How Does Neurotherapy Help With Addiction?

What if cravings weren’t a character flaw but a circuit problem you could retrain? We open the door to a brain-first view of addiction that explains why even the most motivated people can struggle, and how targeted neurotherapy helps calm the stress-reward loop so real recovery work can stick. From easing early detox jitters to restoring sleep and sharpening focus, we break down the physiol...

How Does Neurotherapy Help With ADHD?

What if ADHD isn’t a focus problem, but a regulation problem your brain can learn to solve? We open the hood on neurotherapy and show how brain mapping turns a broad diagnosis into precise, personalized care. Instead of chasing symptoms, we reveal the electrical patterns underneath—overarousal that fuels anxiety and reactivity, slow frontal rhythms that drag on attention, and mixed profiles that...

Helen's Success Story

A family history of Alzheimer’s can make every mental slip feel ominous. When Helen noticed her multitasking crumble during a busy holiday, she didn’t just push through it—she compared her brain to her own baseline. That single decision reframed the path forward: no guessing, just data-driven steps that showed what was underperforming and how to fix it.

We walk you through the full arc of her turn...

Lindsey's Success Story

What if the tools you already practice suddenly worked faster and felt easier to access? That’s the shift Lindsey experienced when neurotherapy helped quiet the inner critic and re-tune her nervous system from constant threat to calm, focused control. We sit down with her and unpack the path from recurring depressive dips and relentless self-talk to steady ground—plus the surprising bodily sensations tha...

How Does Neurotherapy Help Ease Anxiety?

Feeling wired, restless, and “on” even when you want to wind down? We take you inside a practical, science-backed approach to anxiety and chronic stress that retrains the nervous system for balance. Dr. Heather Putney breaks down how an anxious brain often runs in sympathetic overdrive, producing too much fast-wave activity, and why restoring the natural rhythm of delta, theta, alpha, and bet...

How Does Neurotherapy Lessen The Effects Of Depression?

What if depression isn’t one problem, but several different brain patterns wearing the same mask? We dig into how targeted neurotherapy reads those patterns and trains the brain toward balance, flexibility, and emotional steadiness—often with faster, more durable results than many expect.

We start by breaking down two common neural profiles tied to low mood: hemispheri...

How Do Clients Prep For An EEG?

Want a brain readout you can trust? We dig into the simple, science-backed prep that turns an EEG from a noisy snapshot into a clear baseline you can act on. Dr. Heather Putney explains why timing, sleep, hydration, and a protein-forward breakfast dramatically improve signal quality, and how small choices like skipping caffeine for 12 hours prevent false “high performance” that hides the real issues y...

Is It Safe? Is It Safe For Kids?

What if brain stimulation could be as gentle as it is effective? We pull back the curtain on three core neuromodulation tools—light therapy, PEMF, and low-intensity electrical stimulation—and lay out exactly how we keep them safe for kids, adults, and even high performers who just want a cleaner cognitive edge.

We start with photobiomodulation, the targeted use of specific wavelengths to sup...

How Does EEG Mapping Personalize Treatment?

Your brain doesn’t come with an owner’s manual—so we made one you can actually use. We walk through a full neurotherapy session step by step, starting with a holistic intake and EEG mapping that turns fuzzy symptoms into clear targets. From there, we share how we personalize protocols for focus, sleep, mood, and recovery, and why stacking modalities accelerates results without overwhelming...

What Is Neurotherapy And How Does It Work?

Your brain doesn’t come with an owner’s manual—so we made one you can actually use. We explore how targeted neurotherapy helps you age with clarity by improving blood flow, syncing neural rhythms, and calming inflammation, then show what that looks like in real life through a deeply personal story from Heather’s own family. From the first hint of trouble during holiday multitasking to a dat...

What Does A Typical Neurotherapy Session Look Like?

Your brain has a pattern—and a plan. We open the hood on EEG brain mapping and show how raw waves become a clear, personalized roadmap for healing, performance, and peace of mind. From the cap and 19-channel setup to the screen full of live signals, we make the tech tangible and explain how it guides targeted neuromodulation that actually sticks.

We walk through the core f...

How Does Neurotherapy Support Aging Well?

Ever wish your brain had a reset button you could trust? We sit down with Dr. Heather Putney to unpack a practical, science‑backed path to better focus, calmer emotions, and steadier energy—without guesswork. Using 19‑channel EEG and neuromodulation, we explore how to pinpoint where your brain runs too fast, where it runs too slow, and how to nudge each area toward balance so you can feel cl...
