Neurofeedback for Trauma and PTSD
In our article on sleep, we kept coming back to one phrase: a nervous system that learned to stay on guard. That same pattern is often what keeps people awake at night, and for many, it runs deeper than any one restless night. It settles into the body and stays there, long after the danger…
Feelings are not God
This may be a bit controversial, a therapist writing an article that reprimands the authority we give to our feelings. After all, isn’t “How does that make you feel?” The ultimate therapy question? I have absolutely asked clients that question, but I am not asking because I believe their feelings should be their guide. Actually,…
When You Know Something Is Missing
Nothing is wrong, exactly. You’re not in crisis. If someone asked how you were doing, you’d say you were fine, and you’d mean it. And still there’s something. A quiet sense that your life with God is meant to go further than it has gone. You can’t point to a problem, which is part of…
What Makes Banner Different
Sacred order, not therapeutic order. Banner is Christian counseling built for the whole distance — rescue, stability, and real strength.
Untangling the Abusive Relational System
Abuse is much harder to recognize and define than we first tend to think. The term commonly evokes images of a bruised victim of physical violence, but this image is far too simplistic to be broadly useful. The reason is because physical abuse can stop short of leaving visible marks, or the fear of a…
Neurofeedback for Sleep
If you are reading this late, tired in a way that sleep no longer seems to touch, you already know how lonely the quiet hours can be. Maybe you lie awake at the start of the night, or wake at 3 a.m. and cannot find your way back. Maybe you sleep like a stone and…
Whole Brain Training: A Different Kind of Neurofeedback
Most people who come through our doors have a specific thing they want help with. Anxiety. Sleep. Focus. Mood. Something that has been making life harder, and they’re ready to try a different approach. That’s a perfectly reasonable place to start. And you’re not alone. Many of the people who find their way to neurofeedback…
Neurofeedback for ADHD
ADHD doesn’t look the same in everyone. For some, it’s a mind that jumps from one thing to the next, leaving half-finished tasks and forgotten appointments in its wake. For others, it’s restlessness that can’t quite settle — a body that won’t stop moving, a brain that won’t stop going. For still others, it’s the…
To War: A Banner Manifesto
I have wrestled with these pages. Who is this for? How straightforwardly and plainly can I name what I see and what I believe God asks of me, of Banner Institute, and of His Church? How responsible is it to share my thoughts on these things and further to presume to try to do something…
Narcissism as a Crisis of the Soul
We throw the word “narcissist” around. It’s the go-to label for the toxic ex, the tyrannical boss, the politicians we dislike. But the true meaning is much deeper. The DSM gives us a clean clinical box: grandiosity, lack of empathy, entitlement, etc.. We treat that box as the whole story. But the box is too…
