The NIH-Funded Brain Therapy Getting FDA Breakthrough Status — Here's What It Does
About this episode
Most alternative approaches to trauma, addiction, and depression exist outside the mainstream research infrastructure. What Fredric Schiffer has built at Harvard and McLean Hospital is different — NIH-funded, FDA Breakthrough Device designated research that treats each cerebral hemisphere as its own mind with its own emotional history. What he shares about the clinical breakthroughs his dual-brain psychotherapy is producing for addiction, PTSD, and depression, the neuroscience behind why the nucleus accumbens and amygdala respond differently depending on which hemisphere is engaged, and how to combine split-vision techniques with mindfulness and light therapy for accelerated relief will give you the most scientifically credentialed and clinically validated alternative therapy conversation you have encountered on this feed. This is not fringe science waiting to be validated. It is validated science waiting to be known. This episode is how you find out.
