Revolutionizing Mental Health: Neuro Hope Psychotherapy & Neurofeedback Introduces Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Colorado Springs, CO - Neuro Hope Psychotherapy & Neurofeedback PLLC, a pioneering force in mental health solutions, proudly announces a groundbreaking advancement in its treatment repertoire. Introducing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) marks a significant leap towards enhancing mental health. This innovative therapy addresses a spectrum of concerns, from brain fog and memory issues to chronic fatigue and low mood, setting a new standard in mental health care.

Neuro Hope has always dedicated itself to ushering in transformational treatments that promote healing. With a targeted approach, Neuro Hope tailors HBOT therapy specifically to cater to the unique needs of individuals seeking comprehensive mental health support.

Transforming Lives, One Breath at a Time:

In a world where mental health struggles are prevalent, Neuro Hope administers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, delivering pure oxygen-enriched, purified air within pressurized chambers. The design of these chambers aims to supply an enhanced oxygen level, maintaining increased pressure compared to normal atmospheric conditions.

At an altitude of over 6000 feet above sea level in Colorado Springs, the impact of HBOT becomes even more dramatic. With the ambient air pressure 20% lower than at sea level, this therapy substantially increases oxygen saturation levels in the blood vessels.

Key Features of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

◽ Enhanced Oxygen Supply: Administering pure oxygen in pressurized chambers for optimal absorption.

◽ Increased Air Pressure: Creating an environment conducive to dissolving 40% to 90% more oxygen into the body.

◽ Improved Circulation and Oxygenation: Addressing symptoms of brain fog, memory issues, chronic fatigue, and low mood.

"This groundbreaking Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy represents a major milestone for Neuro Hope. We are thrilled to introduce a solution beyond conventional approaches, offering a transformative impact on mental health," says Zoe Bonack, Hyperbaric Medicine Physician at Neuro Hope Psychotherapy & Neurofeedback PLLC.

A New Standard for Mental Wellness:

Neuro Hope understands the challenges faced by individuals dealing with mental health concerns. Research has shown that the HBOT treatment not only addresses prevalent symptoms but is also an effective treatment for traumatic brain injury. By enhancing circulation and oxygenation, the therapy provides a holistic approach to mental wellness.

Commitment to Excellence:

Neuro Hope Psychotherapy & Neurofeedback PLLC has consistently stood at the forefront of the mental health industry, delivering cutting-edge solutions that transform lives. The company reflects its commitment to excellence by providing innovative and effective therapies that meet clients' evolving needs.

Empowering Individuals, Inspiring Change:

Neuro Hope stands out as a beacon of empowerment and inspiration in an industry where innovation is key. The HBOT therapy addresses immediate concerns and empowers individuals to take control of their mental well-being, inspiring positive change.

Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Matters:

HBOT involves breathing in oxygen-enriched, purified air in a pressurized chamber, allowing the oxygen to dissolve in the blood and reach areas of the body with low oxygen levels.

"We have seen dramatic results with our Colorado Springs neurofeedback therapy, and we believe that combining it with HBOT Therapy will have a synergistic effect, providing even greater benefits for our patients," says Zoe Bonack. "That's why we are offering special packages that include both HBOT therapy and neurofeedback therapy so our patients can experience the full potential of these therapies."

“Sentience: The Invention of Consciousness” with Professor Nicholas Humphrey

Introduction: Human existence is intricately tied to our capacity for consciousness, a phenomenon that forms the bedrock of self-awareness. Professor Nicholas Humphrey, a distinguished neuropsychologist, explores the origins and evolutionary history of consciousness in his seminal work, "Sentience: The Invention of Consciousness." This article delves into the key concepts presented in the book, examining the transition from cognitive to phenomenal consciousness, the adaptive nature of consciousness in living organisms, and the intriguing possibility of consciousness emerging in artificial entities.

Exploring Cognitive Consciousness: Humphrey's work delves into the realm of cognitive consciousness, raising thought-provoking questions about how early animal ancestors possessed this cognitive awareness and how it subsequently evolved into phenomenal consciousness. The inquiry extends to identifying potential thresholds, such as neuron count, processing capacity, or brain size, that played a role in this evolutionary development. A central query emerges: can consciousness transcend organic life and find expression in artificial intelligence?

The Characteristics of Consciousness: Consciousness, as Humphrey elucidates, is intricately tied to short-term memory and can manifest independently of sensory inputs. It exhibits a remarkable capacity for attention and the ability to entertain alternative interpretations of complex or ambiguous data. Such attributes underline the significance of consciousness in shaping our perception and understanding of the world.

The Neuroscientific Correlation: Neuroscientists have made strides in correlating specific brain activities with corresponding subjective experiences. From feelings of hunger to pleasure and pain, there exists a discernible connection between certain types of brain activity and conscious awareness. This correlation provides a foundational understanding of the neural underpinnings of consciousness.

The Emotional Roots of Consciousness: Contrary to traditional views, Humphrey suggests that consciousness may not have evolved solely for the purpose of creating internal representations of the external world. Instead, he posits that consciousness may be an extension of primitive emotional influences. These emotional stimuli, originating from primordial instincts, prompt a response in organisms, preparing their brains for adaptive actions.

The Development of Conscience: A captivating question emerges: when did humans develop a conscience? Archaeological consensus places this pivotal moment approximately 45,000 years ago, marking a cultural evolution towards modernity. This milestone raises intriguing inquiries into the interplay between consciousness and moral awareness in shaping the human experience.

Conclusion: In Professor Nicholas Humphrey's exploration of consciousness in "Sentience: The Invention of Consciousness," a nuanced understanding of the evolutionary and cognitive aspects of consciousness emerges. This article has sought to distill the key themes from the book, offering a glimpse into the profound implications of consciousness on human existence, its potential manifestation in artificial entities, and its intricate connection with our emotional and moral landscape.

I'm so tired of being the dominant one my whole life tbh (not in bed, I'm just pretty damn logical and cutthroat irl)

Where's my overprotective, possessive, mean daddy bf that's only nice to me and shows me I really can be a dainty, fragile little thing?

#From Neuropsychologist to mindless toy pls #If you'd actually leave your bedroom Isa you might find one #That's scary tho #I'll just keep falling in love with fictional characters #Men are usually scared of me anyway #It's probably the 'tism #I'm pretty off-putting #And have an attitude problem

[lucysweatslove]

Finally back home!

So the “testing” was literally a brief 30 min convo where she asked some clarifying questions from my intake form and then I did the WAIS-IV. That’s it, just the WAIS. The psychologist did tell me though that she isn’t interpreting my scores on the typical IQ scale but is looking at how my own scores compare to each other. The psychometrist was taking times I think in between lines and for each problem, so I’m curious if they will be looking at how I fatigue and my error rate as time goes on for some tasks like the processing speed ones.

I also hate the general knowledge questions because how tf am I supposed to know the circumference of the earth around the equator in this setting if I have never not once heard it? I tried doing the fermi problem way of rationalizing it but I couldn’t quite scale what I know to be ~300 mi to the equator in my head. Whatever. And like. I give 0 shits about any European historical monarchy (or history in general- why bother remembering specifics when the internet exists) so my brain has pruned any of that information I may have gotten 15 years ago and thus I couldn’t tell you that stuff. I always hate how it’s administered because I have a VAST knowledge of anything sciency (you know, things I’m interested in) but nah if you cant remember who one monarch was and then can’t remember a geography question then who cares how much science info you’ve retained.

Anyway I was expecting that computer based attention test but nope just intelligence testing. And I won’t find out concrete results for 3 more weeks so I’ll see the NP before then. I was hoping to get some answers and be on a first trial medicine before I go to my rural site (one month from today) but I guess probably not. And I guess that’s also if they see patterns of ADHD in me. Which they might as I tend to do poorly on processing speed and working memory tests, I just don’t know if the effect size will be large enough for them to agree that yes I have adhd.

#it sucks because I’ve already been diagnosed twice #my personal therapist who is also a PhD even told me that she will talk to the NP and neuropsychologist about her observations #because I am so classically inattentive type per DSM that it’s ridiculous to put me through all of this #the second person diagnosed me after a clinical interview as well and I think that was just further clarity and assurance #like to say yes multiple people agree on this diagnosis #even my new NP thinks it’s likely but is getting this FOURTH opinion bc??? idk??? #maybe it’s bc I have a history of depression but the WAIS isn’t going to tease out ADHD vs depression vs autism #like all 3 will lead to decreased in working memory and processing speed #because shockingly (sarcasm) all 3 can cause issues with executive functioning

[gale-in-space]

Okay the PI just mentioned that there has been “a modest proposal” for data from our archive and it took everything in me not to make a Jonathan Swift reference

#do neuropsychologists know who that is #maybe #i like to think i’m funny but maybe that’s not so

[tvnacity]

me: I hate the american work system fuck the grindset work should not be your priority it literally doesn’t matter people should be able to live full lives without their jobs interfering too much

also me: if I don’t get the career I want my life is over and I will never be fulfilled. all I desire is to define myself completely by my job and be successful in the workforce

#American society worked on me 😔 #And my fear of showing emotions and planning for a future that involves feelings and relationships #but literally like. what’s wrong w me #I can’t imagine a happy life where I’m not a neuropsychologist and like ?????? that’s fucking stupid!!! #lucy speaks

[pluvicor]

ooc: Well, got to that point where the first doctor (who I lovingly call "brain doctor") I saw about some problems took a look at me, didn't bat a lash and went "yeah, you're getting checked for ADHD with correlated GAD" so that's where I am currently: in hell.

#As Luiza said: The ADHD theory is getting progressively closer. #Unrelated but related: my boss is truly a disrespectful woman but much of what she disrespects me for #is caused by difficulties I have related to these problems I saw a doctor for. #The main difference is that though my previous job was hellish by virtue of what kind of department I work for #I had a boss who understood these difficulties and adapted to my needs instead of yknow treating me like I'm a dumb bitch. #This one boss now? She's a belittling prick and makes me feel dumber each time we speak #which has made my performance worse but woe is me. #I'm really looking forward to the therapy sessions with a neuropsychologist as prescribed. #If not ADHD then at least I'll get some guidance to the things I can't control and impact me in my everyday life. #ANYWAY. Rambling over just throwing it out there #tbd. #ooc.

i feel like i just lost my one remaining irl friend. it's silly because she's still here and we didn't have a fight or anything but. we just ran into each other when i was coming home from work and she was going out on a date. she told me i looked like a zombie, i didn't even know she was dating. and not just dating some random guy, but she has a boyfriend. which made me realise that i haven't talked to her in a long time. we briefly saw each other once for a music thing two weeks ago, and then before that the last time we hung was a month and a half ago. and we used to always be together and i knew everything about her life and suddenly she's a stranger. it was like running into someone i was friends with in middle school except she's my best friend and a month ago we were still inseparable. and now she has a boyfriend, which was a slap in the face for so many reasons. first of all we're gonna see even less of each other now. second of all i know i haven't met the guy and i shouldn't judge him without knowing him, but i know he's 11 years older than her so already i'm not a fan. not sure i'm gonna wanna hang out with them together. it's gonna take some time for me to adjust to that. but mostly i was just so taken aback because she didn't tell me. she never told me she was seeing someone. which, given that she greeted me with "dude you look like a zombie 🥴", i get. apparently i look just as bad as i feel. i hadn't realised that. i mean i know i look bad, but i didn't think it was that noticeable to other people. i must be terrible company too, i know i speak slowly and i'm too tired to go out and i'm just no fun really.

i just feel so isolated. i don't have any friends. it just hit me. everyone around me is either pulling away from me, or i pulled away from them without realising, or they're going through their own crap and in no better shape than i am. my work friend is off work because she just lost her father. my mother is as depressed as i am. my best friends rn are my grandparents, they're the only people i still see/call regularly. and even then, my grandma just turned 80 this weekend and my grandpa is 81, and they're losing their health and they're scared and so am i. i have no one to lean on and i can't let anyone lean on me because i'll collapse.

#sorry to be such a downer #i'm not trying to be i'm just kinda looking at myself with curiosity like huh. i've never been more alone. #also i've been dissociating and gaslighting myself #i think i have several disorders happening at once and i switch between them like i'm two or more different people #mostly the depression and autism #rn i feel depressed but i feel very present in myself but very detached from the me who went to a neuropsychologist last week to ask for an #asd diagnosis #i don't feel autistic even though i remember the me from last week and that me was autistic #rn i feel like nothing. i feel fine except i don't feel like a person. i don't feel like i have a developmental disorder #i don't feel like a part of society at all i can't get out of my head #i can't even feel my body or think about situations im just sitting here. i can hear a clock. i can see my phone and my leg. that's about it #i feel so numb both physically and mentally i don't even feel distressed anymore rn i'm just like. i'm just here #rain.stuff #this is probably all over the place i apologise i seem to be having a difficult time existing at the moment #not sure i'm very tethered to this plane of existence i feel like i might flicker out of the physical realm any minute

[areyoudoingthis]

I'm gonna have to get on the evil pills pms is really ruining my life

#i swear it's fucking with my adhd and making my life 5 times harder #i hate it when mental health professionals don't take pms seriously like it's not in my mind it's literally my hormones going haywire!!! #and the chemicals in my brain are always already going haywire don't you think those two things may have some negative interactions #anyway i hate taking contraceptives but at least i don't need an adhd diagnosis for those #which I'm working on getting but what do you know it's hard to find a professional who knows what they're talking about in this city #the neuropsychologist i saw was useless #also transphobic and voted for the fascist asshole #i hated every second i spent in there #my therapist found me a better second option but i was burned out from the first try and when i finally called she didn't pick up #and guess i have adhd so i haven't called again #it's a fun catch 22 to he stuck in #alex txt

[joellesolo]

Not to brag, except I TOTALLY am, but I did the NYT Monday crossword in just over nine minutes. 

I used to do them daily, back before my brain got demolished by mental illness and chronic pain, and I’ve started doing them again and this is the first time I’ve beat the ten minute mark since I started up again!

So, I may be dumb as shit, but, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself today, especially after the wild fucking day I’ve had (if you’re my fb friend, YOU KNOW 😂).

#joelle's life #new york times #crossword #nyt crossword #i may have superior intelligence according to my neuropsychologist but trust me i'm dumb as dirt #😂 #superior intelligence was supposed to be in quotes but of course that didn't happen cuz it's a tag #bipolar disorder #manic episode #mania

[senseiwu]

.....yeah i thought so. The mum must be dealing with post partum depression or something. I thought that was a little,, off

#bri watches house #'in the meantime stress her out until she has a seizure' bfjshdjd house NO #'if the eeg twitches with her-' actually. #psychogenic seizures dont really show up on an eeg #that in combination with seeing a neuropsychologist is how we figured ojt what was going on with me #was hooked up to an eeg for i think four days and even though i had a few seizures #anyway

[hoppinkiss]

maybe I should get that second opinion about autism. if i can find someone to test for it lmao

#neuropsychologist was like 'i could give you this diagnosis but it's not my area of expertise and it's hard to get off your record' #harper has spoken

[tagomago]

still want to move to london at some point i think but i’m really glad to be moving home for a couple of years to save money and also during the energy crisis it’ll be easier with four of us working i think … trying to see things as one step at a time rather than rushing to do everything. like the job i’m starting in september is really useful for me experience wise so when i start looking at applying to things that are either career oriented or like. in preparation for applying to clinical psych i’ll be better off i think. although i haven’t decided if i want to move to london and work or go to uni there. whateverrr not to share my personal life plans here

#btwwww i don’t want to be a clinical psychologist i want to be a clinical neuropsychologist. #but u have to do clinical psych first then specialise 😑 and i have sooo many issues with clinical psych. but well whayever

[roaringroa]

oficially diagnosed with adhd babeyyyyyyy

#this is so funny to me cause if you asked me a year ago if i thought i had adhd i would confidently have said no #but then in the middle of a therapy session i could almost see the imaginary lamp over my therapist's head turn on #and she said you know what? i think you should investigate if you have adhd #and i was a little skeptical about it but i mentioned it to my parents and they were like hold on... she's right #and then on the same week i was hanging out with a newly made friend and outta nowhere she stopped me and asked if i had adhd #so i was like welp... maybe i do #and then i made a psychiatrist appointment who sent me to a neuropsychologist to take multiple tests involving logical thinking memory #attention span etc etc #i did very high on logical thinking but the attention part was low and the memory part was average #which means i can't pay attention well but the moments that i do i retain and can understand well #it explains a lot cause i had literally no trouble with school like i was top5 students in my school up until 9th grade cause we didn't have #to do any long term studying or projects or whatever #but then in high school when things got more complicated and i HAD to pay attention to understand concepts things got much harder #i couldn't just logic my way out of exams anymore and also i had way more classes #like when i had afternoon classes (two times a week) i literally just gave up cause i knew i couldn't pay attention #but i mean i still passed every class with no final exams or anything but i went from a 90% student to a 65% one #(except in humanities i love you humanities) #and then i got into college and the pandemic hit and online classes were absolutely awful like it was truly bad for me #i was a portuguese major for a year and a half and i honest to god don't remember 5% of what i was supposed to know #again i did well on my tests and stuff i had a 88% average but like #that was solely from panicking pre due dates and crying and doing the little reading i absolutely had to do 10 hours before the exam was due #and then immediately forgetting everything the second i hit send #i think there were maybe 5 ocasions during the whole year and a half where i was able to actually pay attention during an online class #most of the time i tried for like 3 minutes and gave up #and it really made me sad cause i thought i was just a lazy ass throwing my college experience away #which made me extra upset cause i was studying in like basically the best college in the country #and it's a public one so the people were paying for my studies only for me to throw it all away?? #anyway it was a tough time for me mentally and this diagnosis makes me feel so relieved #like when i can't pay attention it's because of the way my brian opperates and not my character #my post

[arrozaurus]

man i forgot how to study

#i cant focus and i remember less in general :') #it was really nice to know that my neuro wouldnt do a cog test because there is no medicine to lessen the symptoms and no neuropsychologist
