- Are you being direct?It's always nice to have options. But from a brain-based perspective, fewer options are actually better!!These families are living in chronic stress, and decision fatigue is a REAL challenge. More options could create avoidance due to them feeling more stressed. Be direct and clear in your communication, so there is no space for misunderstanding.Copyright © 2021 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.

- Respond, don't react! What your reactions bring to the tableAre you responding or reacting to your practice members?We need to be creating a SAFE SPACE for those in our office. We want to be able to use our tools and strategies to help them grow and have a better expression of life.

- Are you using picture stories?This is not the traditional "picture story" that you might have seen in other therapies, which is why we also call it the FOCUS Story!With the FOCUS story, our goal isn't to routinize a behavior. Our goal is to help the person increase their ability to visualize what is going to happen. When we increase visualization and prediction, we decrease anxiety and stress!

About Dr. Amy Focus
From the publisher's feed
We train chiropractors, medical professionals, educators and parents to lead with brain development to build a comprehensive "whole to part" approach to working with behavioral, learning,…
developmental and socialization challenges. We need to know more to bridge the gap and build strong teams and clinical, educational and parenting strategies to help kids have a better expression of life and not just cope! Through our seminars and trainings we boil down the complexity of brain development and Neuro-Deflective Disorders™ in order to have practical and implementable solutions and care plans without losing the bigger picture of how it all works together.
