Emotional brain training
According to EBT theory, when the emotional brain is out of balance, a person naturally develop problems with behavior, health, mood, and relationships. EBT focuses on the root cause: stress in the emotional brain. Instead of forcing a person to change behavior, he/she uses a proven method to ease stress in the emotional brain. Behavior, health, mood, and relationships naturally improve.
