Healing at Possibilities happens in groups

Healing at Possibilities happens in groups. Because we can't do it in isolation.

Research  demonstrates that group therapy produces similar improvements to individual therapy for depression, anxiety, and other disorders. But it also provides unique benefits – a sense of belonging, universality, altruism, and hope.  Skip the ABC’s and go straight to the deep stuff with other people with lived experience of brain injuries.
‍
Note: until we grow more and have a physical healing center, some Possibilities groups will be virtual.

Somatic Microdosing Group participants from the pilot reported how it went


We gave 3 retrospective surveys often used in brain injury research. The surveys were completed within two weeks of the program end date.

1. Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS-16). 16 questions about difficulties regulating emotions. Lower scores are better.

2. Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS-5). 5 questions about life satisfaction. Higher scores are better.

3. General Self Efficacy (GSE-10). 10 questions about how the person thinks they're able to handle difficult demands and cope with adversity. Higher scores are better.

We also asked one that's often used in customer satisfaction research.
‍
1. Net Promoter Score (NPS) "On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this program to a friend with a brain injury?" Higher scores are better.

Why people are trying to reduce their medications
I want to use psychedelics without the risk of serotonin syndrome.
I've been on meds since the day I woke up from the coma. I want to learn who I am without them.
I'm tired of the side effects.
TMS worked really well for my depression! I don't think I need this antidepressant anymore.
My doctors only talk about adding medications. I want to work with someone who's talking about subtracting them.
I'm interested in being more natural.

Gut Group

A 12-week program for people with brain injuries who want to get to the root cause of their gut dysbiosis.
Invited are:
1. People with TBI, stroke, and other acquired brain injuries.
2. Who are living intentionally and actively driving their health.
3. Who are interested in functional medicine to improve their digestion and move away from daily symptom management.
About dysbiosis

Dysbiosis in the gut is an unhealthy imbalance of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and archaea living in the GI track. Dysbiosis may cause symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, pain, constipation, diarrhea, and body-wide inflammation.

How is it treated?
-Your doctor will likely look at your medications for any that have side effects on the gut.
-They may have you do a feces swab test that's mailed to lab and inspected for a breakdown of the microorganisms in your gut.
-With the test results, a combination of antimicrobial medication treatments, herbal supplements, and dietary changes may be prescribed.
-Assess whether the treatment was successful.
-Decide a next step. It may be an iterative process that takes a while to see what's truly going on.

"Most people don’t realize that inflammation is at the root of their health issues. We don’t think of depression as inflammation. We don’t think of anxiety as inflammation of the brain. We don’t think of cancer or obesity as inflammation.

But they are inflammatory diseases. A nutrient-poor, ultra-processed diet and damage to the gut microbiome are driving these issues."
