Science

The method is based on developmental skills training (DST) and is a transdisciplinary method aimed at rewiring the emotional brain. It offers a scientific solution to stress based on an integration of a broad range of sciences, with emphasis on neuroplasticity, attachment theory and stress science.

Neuroplasticity

Prior to the past decade, scientific thought held that the brain could not change. But in the last 10 years, research has shown that the brain can change, developing new nerve cells (neurogenesis) and strengthen or weaken neural circuitry. The Solution Method draws on these understandings of neuroplasticity to provide repeated experiences to change neural circuitry to favor joy.

Attachment Theory

Attachment theory is based on evidence that the connection between parent and child downloads into the neural circuits of the infant the tools to respond effectively to stress and support development. The Solution Method trains participants in the tools to respond to stress effectively and promote the experience of developmental rewards. Learn More

Stress Science

Recent research has shown that stress impacts nearly every aspect of life — emotions, behavior, thoughts and health, and that stress is cumulative. Repeated episodes of stress sensitize the brain to stress. The Solution Method incorporates skills to rewire that sensitivity and offload stress through good health care and healthful lifestyle.
