Communication Struggles

Struggling to Communicate, Autism, and High Anxiety

Natalia is on the severe end of the autism spectrum, suffering from high general and separation anxiety, communication issues, sleep problems, and more. Her mother was having her see a speech and occupational therapist, but she eventually hit a plateau, and was making no progress. After using Brain Harmony for a month, Natalia began having incredible improvements, becoming more independent, sleeping through the night, communicating clear thoughts, having considerably less overall anxiety.

“I used it for just a month or so, but I see stuff in my daughter I have never seen. The anxiety disappeared, the sleeping got better. She’s more calm. She said, “Mommy you go to the store, I’ll stay with Dad.” She started to learn from other kids. She started to learn from her environment. She’s starting to listen more. Some people told me that she will reach a cap and will never be able be conversational. My daughter now goes to the park and talks to the kids.”

Speech and Language/ Communication Delay with Sensory Integration Concerns

At two years and nine months old, Harper was only able to use about 30 words, could only label items, and was not using her words to communicate. Her speech therapist was having trouble making progress, and her lack of communication was tough on the family. After about three months of using Brain Harmony over the summer, Harper became a different person. She started communicating in sentences, reading, and acting like a vibrant young girl.

Harper got off of her therapies in May, so we were able to do it throughout the summer, and when we came back in August her therapists were floored, and that was the only change we had made. They didn’t even know what we were doing. When I had her IEP meeting they said “when you left, you left with a different kid than you came back with.”

NonVerbal to Verbal Communication

At Lucas’s 18th month appointment his mother Megan realized that he had never started babbling. Lucas’s only communication was through grunting, he had never slept a full night in his life, and he was frightened by loud noises and change. The first time Lucas started listening with Brain Harmony, he slept through the night and started making babbling noises. He quickly became a vibrant boy, learning to communicate effectively through words and sentences, excited to try new things by becoming much more engaged in everyday life. 

“Immediately his first time listening he start babbling and making sounds, and he had never done that before. Now he almost says full sentences, sometimes he does say full sentences. I can honestly say that it is so worth it, I wouldn’t take it back for a second. It’s a huge change, sometimes I can’t believe it. It was definitely the right choice, because all of us can benefit from it.”

Complex Trauma, Communication Issues and Social Anxiety

Growing up with complex trauma, Kirk had extreme difficulties with communication, anxiety, and managing everyday tasks. After researching Polyvagal theory and discovering Brain Harmony’s protocols, Kirk was excited about the prospect of a program that has helped those who were non verbal their whole life begin to speak. He began the Safe and Sound Protocol and soon realized it would allow him to unlock the life he had always imagined for himself.

“Growing up with complex trauma is just beyond any ability to communicate, and especially in the past few months, I’m comfortable enough with myself that I don’t mind another person seeing whatever happens to come up in the course of a conversation, and that would have almost been science fiction to me a couple of years ago.”
