INDIVIDUAL  TRAINING SESSIONS

Private sessions allow individuals to have appointments which fit their schedule and are specifically tailored to their preferences, needs, and goals.  Much more interactive work with biofeedback or other modalities is possible in private sessions compared to group programs, which some people find very beneficial in working toward their health and performance goals.

Content :

The initial appointment consists of an intake and interview to determine how stress management and self-regulation skills training would be most useful and appropriate for the individual. Often this session includes a stress and goal assessment, as well as introductory self-regulation techniques. It takes approximately 90 minutes in total. This initial meeting concludes with a training plan, and recommendations.

Any of the topics covered in the group programs can be explored more in depth in these private sessions. After the initial appointment, each training session is usually one hour in length.
