Clinic Pt 2 (brain scan edition)

Between the filming of live sessions/music vids and recording of some baaaangerss, me and josh took a trip with Ren to the clinic to sit in on a brain scan session.
Was super interesting to watch and learn the process of how it all goes down and more so to see how Ren has progressed during his time away under intense treatment.
Moments like this really put into perspective what Ren has to go through in order to achieve somewhat of a 'normal' life again, a real eye opener!
hope u enjoy this one and find it as informative as myself and josh did!
would love to know if there's other specific things you'd like us to cover regarding Ren's health ❤
big love guys hope ur all well!!!!! x x

Neurofeedback is such an underrated form of therapy, thanks for giving it the attention it deserves! Hopefully it'll be more affordable in the future for people with chronic pain, PTSD, ADHD, autism, anxiety and depression. For those people it could be lifesaving to train their brain how to calm it's central nervous system!

[@bethstratton3391]

This was a fascinating insight into your days in the Canadian clinic Ren. It was really interesting to see how they are retraining your brain with music and light stimulation. I resonated with what they are trying to do by retraining your brain to react in a more relaxed and balanced way to inner and outside stimulus. I use binaural music at home for brain training and bilateral sonics in connection with EMDR exercises for semi-frequent brain zaps and constant rhythmical vascular pulse-synchronous tinnitus. This is because I have an extremely narrow ear canal on my right side and restricted flow through my blood vessels due to damage and kinks in the vessels of my brain around my inner ear; which changes the pressure in my brain and affect my hearing and creating sound imbalance and distortion. I also use brown and white noise to help me relax and sleep, when my CFS is bad listening to music really helps me. I know from experience what music I need to listen to and when. I find your music really helps me so much. So thank you Ren!

[@susie8557]

If only elements of this treatment were available in the UK! The chronic fatigue community (of which I am one) needs better support to cope with the longer-term consequences of falling ill and, importantly, recognition that such conditions exist that devastate out lives. Ren's doing a great job in bringing that out into the open. I hope Ren's treatment continues to help him.

[@pyrpyr5Wolf]

Hugs to you from a fellow chronic fatigue/pain patient. Alas the NHS are so underfunded they just give you anti-depressants and call it a day, nevermind whether if you are depressed or not 🥲

[@davidshaw7668]

This has really fascinated me as a form of mental health healing for myself. I am definitely going to research this and how it could be used for veterans with mental health issues such as PTSD. Thank you Ren for sharing.

[@jwarrior852]

If Ren ever doubts himself for sharing, he should find solace in comments like this. It's beautiful how this inspired you to possibly help others❤❤❤ THAT is the power of sharing information and experiences. Good luck to you and love and healing to anyone you help along your beautiful journey

[@horsnpony365]

I like your thinking. I’d never seen this type of therapy before. I have CPTSD (early childhood trauma) and hubby is a ‘Nam veteran, would love to know if this could crossover to use in PTSD treatment for successful remapping the brain and getting out of this nightmare of living with a stuck sympathetic nervous system. I’ve been looking into vagal nerve resetting techniques for the past few months. I can’t find a therapist and there are some simple videos on how to do it yourself, like sticking your hands or face in ice water, specific breathing techniques, etc - my issue with them, is for me, I find the positive effects to be super short term with the DIY techniques.

[@julielong8714]

@@horsnpony365 Seeing this made me also wonder whether it might help me with my CPTSD, adult trauma recovery, and cognitive impairments resulting from my bipolar 1 disorder. My psychiatrist is recommending me for a VNS study to help with depression, but I would also really like to know if there is any help for my other PTSD, trauma and most especially cognitive impairments. I wonder if there’s a brain treatment similar to the one Ren undergoes that might help improve my cognition?🤔

[@margaritasaloscerdos5]

Hi David, research on Dr. David Amen studies on damaged brains through making more than 80000 brain scans.. There's a 10 years old TED talk of about 20 min that explains what they found out on veterans, hard sports professionals or hard brain injuries through accidents... Basically, what they can prove is that physical damage makes the brain developed "mental" dis-orders in the sense that it can't functionally work normally. They also proved that music or specific beats frequencies and meditation was restoring the brains in a high percentage of cases.... and this was about 10 years ago! Im sure today they have found out much more, I know it works with ADHD and other mental conditions. I hope this helps you 😃🥰😍

[@sanfordgfogg]

I've seen this procedure before with my step-mother retraining her alpha waves due to her parkinsons. It's amazing science, to use the brain to help get it back on track where it should be. But it's another day spent in the clinic. Keep up the hope Ren. It's good to see you moving around on your own.

I wasn't on Patreon then and missed this. This is fantastic stuff. I love it. I worked as a specialist counsellor for high intelligence children and one of my colleagues was doing research with brain scans of high intelligence male uni students doing math while in an MRI. The scans showed that the left/right brain differentiation theory didn't exist and both sides of the brain lit up like a Christmas tree. The best bit was that the most used bits for math problems were the frontal lobes followed by a super highway to the emotional centre. It seems logic and math is mediated by your emotions. As math and music are linked, I'd love to see your brain in an fMRI Ren. We all know that you are right off the bell curve in intelligence and creativity, so your MRI scans would be amazing! We're all thinking of you and sending you lots of love and big hugs from Australia.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Amazing video Ren, I have been through this for the chronic pain I have 25+ years all day everyday. Despite this condition I know that I can look around and find so many folks that have it worse than me and that is very humbling and freeing. I remember the computer the headphones and a rather dark room. Found it to be very helpful as it was reinforcing the computers goal for me to respond a certain way. Through repetition the brain's training will move into the goal range more quickly. This is an individual process and we are all different in our responses. Ren I will pray for you to have the best results possible and there will be relief to improve your life and experience of this state we call life.
