About Emotional Brain Training

Emotional Brain Training

What is Emotional Brain Training?

Emotional Brain Training is a method of rewiring the brain to promote optimal processing of stress. The method is based on identifying the level of stress or “brain state” on a 5-point scale. For each level there is a different pathway in the brain that most effectively eases stress and promotes positive emotions. Start using EBT and you can learn to control stress, emotions, appetites, relationships and health. Continue EBT to create lasting changes.

Is EBT Right for Me?

These tools are universal as the emotional brain is very primitive. No matter your age, gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, the brain’s pathways from stress to joy are remarkably similar. As a result, most people find these tools to be highly effective and gives them an important edge in responding to daily life.

History of EBT

Beginning 30 years ago, we began to develop a method based on this underlying premise as a faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco. The first method was part of an interdisciplinary adolescent health-training program of national leaders in adolescent health directed by Charles E. Irwin, Jr. Later, in the Department of Family and Community medicine – then directed by Jonathan Rodnick, with the research collaboration of Mary Croughan, and instrumental support from Marion Nestle – we adapted the method to emotional brain training for adults.
