Think of this book as your physical, mental, and spiritual wellness coach to navigate the complexity of healing any or all SADAT conditions. My goal is simple: to help you find the home of your soul again, a place of internal peace where you can enjoy your life with purpose and bliss every day. With scientific rigor and considering the extensive teachings I have received during my healing and spiritual journey over the last 15 years, I integrated the latest scientific findings on the effect of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) to treat SADAT but also considered the power of well-established wellness practices as well as shamanic rituals used by indigenous communities for millennia, yet largely ignored by western societies today.

  • Why emotional PSA aftect the brains of adolescents differently than the brains of young adults

    Fielding Graduate University

    Millions of dollars are spent each year to influence the behavioral health of adolescents and young adults via emotional public service announcements (PSAs). While the quantity of public health messages targeting these groups has increased, scholars and researchers are continuously questioning their effectiveness. Surprisingly, limited research has been conducted on the neurophysiological effect of PSAs and especially how brain-based persuasion models can explain the success or demise of many…

    Millions of dollars are spent each year to influence the behavioral health of adolescents and young adults via emotional public service announcements (PSAs). While the quantity of public health messages targeting these groups has increased, scholars and researchers are continuously questioning their effectiveness. Surprisingly, limited research has been conducted on the neurophysiological effect of PSAs and especially how brain-based persuasion models can explain the success or demise of many advertisements. Findings from this research show that adolescents use distinct brain circuits when processing emotional PSAs compared to young adults. It also suggests that persuasive messages do not work the same on the brains of adolescents and young adults. Specifically, the findings reveal that three conditions may impact the ultimate success of a PSA campaign on adolescents. It further reveals that neurodevelopmental differences between adolescents and young adults’ brains may explain why PSAs with different formats and tones produce different neurophysiological responses between both groups. Undoubtedly, this research should help numerous organizations design better PSA campaigns to successfully warn and educate adolescents on many critical public health issues. Finally, the brain-based persuasion model proposed in this paper should provide better scientific evidence that strong visual warnings do work on adolescents, a fact that has been difficult to establish and sadly allowed tobacco companies to continuously block legislation mandating picture warnings on cigarette packaging.

  • The neurophysiological effect of emotional ads on the brains of late adolescents and young adults

    Dissertations & Thesis @ Fielding Graduate University

    Public Service Announcement (PSA) researchers have mostly relied on subjects' ability to self-report their feelings to assess a campaign's success, a severe limitation considering how emotional messages are known to produce large subconscious effects. We tested PSAs that varied by tone (i.e., positive or negative) and by processing levels (i.e., conscious, preconscious, and subliminal) using a mix of traditional and advanced research protocols. Because recent neuroscientific discoveries suggest…

    Public Service Announcement (PSA) researchers have mostly relied on subjects' ability to self-report their feelings to assess a campaign's success, a severe limitation considering how emotional messages are known to produce large subconscious effects. We tested PSAs that varied by tone (i.e., positive or negative) and by processing levels (i.e., conscious, preconscious, and subliminal) using a mix of traditional and advanced research protocols. Because recent neuroscientific discoveries suggest that adolescents use distinct brain circuits when processing subconscious affective responses, it was predicted that the persuasive effect of emotional messages would vary between age groups. The findings from this research support most of our predictions and demonstrate that a neurophysiological model of persuasion (NMP) based on a mix of self-reported and neurophysiological methods can predict the effects of public health messages targeting adolescents and young adults. Most notably, we showed that negative messages produce more effect than positive messages regardless of age, while subconscious processing produces more emotional and behavioral impact on adolescents than young adults. The author hopes that a better understanding of how persuasion works on the brains of adolescents will help government agencies and non-profit organizations design better public health campaigns. More importantly, this research may also support media regulators to propose new policies limiting the creation and delivery of emotional ads targeting minors.

  • Oxytocin increases the influence of public service advertisements

    PLoS ONE

    This paper presents a neurophysiologic model of effective public service advertisements (PSAs) and reports two experiments that test the model. In Experiment 1, we show that after watching 16 PSAs participants who received oxytocin, compared to those given a placebo, donated to 57% more causes, donated 56% more money, and reported 17% greater concern for those in the ads. In Experiment 2, we measured adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and oxytocin levels in blood before and after participants…

    This paper presents a neurophysiologic model of effective public service advertisements (PSAs) and reports two experiments that test the model. In Experiment 1, we show that after watching 16 PSAs participants who received oxytocin, compared to those given a placebo, donated to 57% more causes, donated 56% more money, and reported 17% greater concern for those in the ads. In Experiment 2, we measured adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and oxytocin levels in blood before and after participants watched a PSA. As predicted by the model, donations occurred when participants had increases in both ACTH and oxytocin. Our results indicate that PSAs with social content that cause OT release will be more effective than those that do not. Our results also explain why some individuals do not respond to PSAs.

  • Neuromarketing: The new science of consumer behavior

    Springer

    Neuromarketing is an emerging field that bridges the study of consumer behavior with neuroscience. Controversial when it first emerged in 2002, the field is gaining rapid credibility and adoption among advertising and marketing professionals. Each year, over 400 billion dollars is invested in advertising campaigns. Yet, conventional methods for testing and predicting the effectiveness of those investments have generally failed because they depend on consumers’ willingness and competency to…

    Neuromarketing is an emerging field that bridges the study of consumer behavior with neuroscience. Controversial when it first emerged in 2002, the field is gaining rapid credibility and adoption among advertising and marketing professionals. Each year, over 400 billion dollars is invested in advertising campaigns. Yet, conventional methods for testing and predicting the effectiveness of those investments have generally failed because they depend on consumers’ willingness and competency to describe how they feel when they are exposed to an advertisement. Neuromarketing offers cutting edge methods for directly probing minds without requiring demanding cognitive or conscious participation. This paper discusses the promise of the burgeoning field of neuromarketing and suggests it has the potential to significantly improve the effectiveness of both commercial and cause-related advertising messages around the world.

    The trailer including a main towing device movable by articulation and sliding, from top to bottom, from front to rear and from right to left to facilitate hitching the trailer to the back of a motor vehicle using a conventional ball-type trailer hitch in conformity with international road regulations. The towing device includes a flexible fixing device to fasten the front part of the trailer to the roof of the motor vehicle through a transverse and vertical centering device which slides from front to rear through sliding rails mounted on a roof-rack, or, as an alternative, through sliding rails mounted underneath the front part of the trailer. The combination of the devices enables rapid coupling and uncoupling of the trailer and the motor vehicle, the locking of the sliding motion of the main towing device in road-ready position being automatically performed by means of locks.
