I have it right there next to my
17:54
bed and he wants to have it where he's because we don't always go back at the same time.
17:58
But a lot of people will use it because they're prone to panic attacks.
18:02
And so they'll use it and they'll put it on having a panic attack.
18:05
I've had people who maybe they say they get anxious every week before this weekly team meeting.
18:11
And so they'll use it either before the meeting or even during the meeting because it just looks headphones, really.
18:17
I've had children with autism who prior to me prescribing this device for them, they were getting really agitated at school and not making it through a full day of school hardly ever to suddenly rarely not making it through a full day of school because it's so safe and easy to use that they can take it to school with them and put it on whenever they get agitated and then be able to get through that time.

So have you noticed with your patients using NeuroCalm, Nirvana Calm, that they are now just calming how they respond to life versus reacting to things and being triggered?
17:51
How does it actually work?
17:54
Yeah.
17:55
Well, you know, it's just a little handheld device, right? quite discreet, small, you can portable, you can take this anywhere.
18:04
And then it has, it, you know, it has a little wire that connects to it and has these, just these two little ear clips that you just clip to your ears.
18:13
You know, it seems so simple and I don't even remove my earrings.
18:16
If I put it on, you just go in front or behind the earrings.
18:19
It doesn't matter if you go this way or that way, turn this on and it just feel a little teeny tiny tingling on your ears and And, you know, it seems so simple and basic, but it's and it's just got a little tiny nine volt battery in there.
20:28
Okay, so what kinds of results or transformations have stood out to you most from people using these tools? Yeah,

But why is it that we can function at that level? But then when we get home where we should be able to relax, sleep, eat, all of those things seem to cascade afterwards.
12:42
Yeah.
12:42
Well, you said so much there that I want to respond to that I'm not sure exactly where to start.
12:47
I think a lot of times when we think that we're controlling our emotions, we're in fact losing control of them.
12:52
We don't get to control our emotions, of course.
12:54
The emotions are going to be what they are.
12:56
But when you ignore something long enough, I think what we were talking about, like controlling them, I think maybe it's more like ignoring and then it's kind of creating a disconnect between the emotion and the acceptance of the emotion and the acknowledgement of them.

And for anyone listening for this for the first time, what is cranial electrotherapy stimulation in plain language? And what is it intended to support?
