Iasis MCN:
At ReThink, we use Iasis Microcurrent Neurofeedback Therapy. This is a gentle, safe, and natural way to “reboot” your brain. We know from brain science that stress, trauma, injury, or mental/physical unhealth can cause your brain (much like a computer) to become stuck or frozen over time. IASIS MCN is an evidence-based therapy that utilizes low energy impulses on the brain to disentrain or “unfreeze” it, so that you CAN begin to live a healthier and whole life. We like to say at ReThink that we are helping our clients move from a place of inability (I CAN’T) to a place of ability (I CAN).

What to expect during a treatment:
No two brains are alike. Your treatment plan will be carefully considered based on your history and your responsiveness to each treatment.
Treatment provider
Erin is a certified IASIS MCN provider (ICP) by completing extensive training through the IASIS MCN practitioner program.
Applying the device
Small areas of your head and neck will be cleansed and prepared with conductive paste. Five small, lightweight electrodes will be placed on specific, prepared sites of your head/neck. Throughout the treatment, some of the electrodes will be moved to other sites around your head.
Length of session:
You can expect your initial visit to take 60-90 minutes as you discuss your history and plan with the certified provider. Each session thereafter will be 25-40 minutes in length from start to finish.
Response to treatment:
During your treatment, you will likely not feel anything from the electrodes. Within 24 to 48 hours after treatment, you will be asked to fill out an observation sheet where you can report symptoms of reactivity that could include feeling “wired”, tired, spacey, headache, or temporary increase of symptoms. It is important to remember a couple of things if you experience reactivity following a treatment. First, these symptoms are temporary and will likely not last longer than 48 hours. Second, reactivity to a treatment only means that the treatment is working! We like to say that with every reaction, there is a positive response to go with it.
Stay the course:
Initially you could be asked to come in two to three times a week for treatments. As your brain begins to regulate and you experience relief from symptoms for longer periods of time between treatments, your sessions will be spaced out more. Our main objective is to bring you to the leading edge of enduring and sustainable relief from your symptoms, and we will work hard to accomplish that within a reasonable amount of sessions (typically 12-20 sessions).
