15. How does medication affect your type of therapy? Would it be best if my child were off all medications during the intensive? |

It is not necessary to take your child off any medication prior to the intensive; however, it would greatly enhance the process by not having your child's natural expressions arrested by medication. I am not an advocate of psychotropic medication for children at any time. I know that healing can take place without medication. Most of the children I work with have had numerous medication changes. This merely proves that the brain is remarkably powerful, and over an extended period of time, medication is rendered powerless over the effects of the brain. During the intensive I will be accessing deeper brain release patterns, which are far more significant than the level that the medication is affecting. Certainly, on the second day, it won't be necessary for your child to receive the medications. Following the intensive, I recommend a medication evaluation by the child's psychiatrist. By this time, I believe the family is generally ready to conquer their problems without the use of psychotropics. Most families feel confident enough to do this after the intensive.
