Well lets see....
We were doing my first session of feedback. I received an overdose because my frontal lobe frequency mapped at a 10, when it naturally rests at a 5. The problem with this? It was shot back a frequency over 10, because people like my therapist don't understand that it takes probably more than 2 seconds to judge the actual frequency of a frontal lobe. I was overdosed. I assumed that this would not happen. I was wrong. I am a little disappointed, because it has taken 2 days to get over the headache and a fever- trying to work. The only thing I can think of in comparison is the movie- eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. I think I screwed up. This was a bad decision. Though this type of therapy works for some...I am unsure as to how long it will take to get over an overdose of this. I am used to high functioning, especially at work, and when I see myself slipping I want to f'ing cry. Yah-wah. I'll get over it. But I think if there was any question as to whether or not I was living in an uncomfortable indi flick- it has been answered. Now all that is missing is some comedic relief. Enter stage left. lol

I'd love to live in an indie flick; in fact I think I kind of do.
What the heck are they shooting into your frontal lobe? Hmmmm. I don't know anything about this therapy but it sounds scary to me. I don't want someone messing around in my brain. Hang in there chickie-poo.

Low level frequencies........Maybe I need to call on wolf...Of course I know she is tired of dealing with mental shit.....
Wolf! What can I expect to happen here? I don't trust the therapist to answer this anymore.

Well, as the saying goes, this stuff is outside my scope of practice ...
I've known a couple of people with sleep disorders, have one or two patients with really bizarre dreams/nighttime hallucinations, but it's not something that we deal with a whole lot. One thing I strongly suspect is that your therapist is engaging in some expensive voodoo, with a fancy box with some pretty lights, and maybe a digital readout or two. They're not going to let anybody without an M.D. or D.O. behind their name play with anything real. I hope you're not paying out of pocket for that bit ... because it certainly doesn't sound like anything an insurance company would pay for, not the kinds of insurance companies I deal with, anyway. Can you get some more details about the device? Maybe we can find out a thing or two. What I suspect may be a lot more helpful is going to the sleep disorders clinic, getting a sleep study done, and some EEGs. Yeah, they'll probably start with something on the order of "here's a prescription," but hopefully the doc will have a brain behind his/her pen and prescription pad, and address the causes rather than the symptoms. In the meantime, working on relaxation techniques might be a good approach.

Maybe we can give her some old fashion ECT. I use to be involved in that as recently as the mid 90's. I don't think they do it much anymore, do they?

His wife was also a psych nurse in the "olden days" and knows how to do a cold pack and has assisted with insulin shock as well. It's more than a bit drastic for this situation.

Back in the day it was used for darn near everything. Schizophrenia, Depression, probably even extreme halitosis, just in case.
I expected there was some fun involved, but sometimes it's hard to tell, especially since that kind of hard reset might even represent a solution.

I do remember a small set of patients actually waking up nearly euphoric. Strange. Most just slept, but that could have been from the massive dose of pentothal.
