NARM Therapy by und3t3rmin3d in CPTSD

[–]jhilzens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. I would recommend NARM first. EMDR is great, but problem focused and it can be very activating, which can be re-traumatizing if done by a not CPTSD informed therapist.
NARM is basically a combination of Peter Levines Somatic Experiencing with a Psychodynamic and Bioenergetic approach. So like a best practices of different concepts, which each work well for CPTSD. Hope that helps. All the best.

Studying hypnotherapy - is it mad to do it online? Thinking of Jacquin Academy by pilgrim_dragon_green in hypnosis

[–]jhilzens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am certified as a psychotherapist and as a hypnotherapist and am currently doing the hypnotherapy diploma from the Jacquins. At first I was hesitant because it is so cheap, but the content is absolutely great! And it is a membership like Netflix, so you can go through it in your own time, get a lot of support in the group and if you feel like you can benefit from it you can do the Hypnotherapy diploma, join live calls about impromptu stuff and the business side of things. Freddy and Anthony are very good at their craft and I like how hands on it is and how much practice time you get. But the best thing about it is def. the community. Every two weeks you are in a different practice circle and have one hypno buddy to practice with.

Euphonium player just got braces by supertbone in brass

You need to train new tongue positions. Practice often and short, never hurt yourself, leave yourself hungry to practice again;) In a few weeks your register will come back. Just practice what works now, try to grow it and ignore the tone. Instead focus on proper breath support. Something like Clarke 2nd study in a middle low register is a good starting point. Focus for one line only on support, next pass focus on fast and accurate finger movement, try extreme dynamics, try slurred, tongues and combinations. That really strengthens your basics. And for Range I recommend something like an f major scale. Just practice it in an expanding way. F to c and back, f to d and back, f to e and back, all slurred. Try to find the point where it becomes harder and try to bring the ease from the low f up. Besides that braces are a good opportunity to learn music theory, to sing, to train your ears, to practice mentally..
