John Dewig, MA, LMFTA

John DeWig's areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and most areas of mental health. Depending on the task at hand I utilize elements of Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness/Meditation, Postmodern, and Neurotherapy. At the North Idaho NeuroTherapy clinic, we are in the unique position of being able to synthesize the e practices of neuroscience technology with the art of psychotherapy.

These strategies & techniques have been adopted by clinicians worldwide because they have proven to be highly effective in maximizing a client’s time, effort, and results. What is NeuroTherapy? Neurotherapy derives treatment protocols by combining the analysis and interpretation of the brain’s current functioning with the client’s presenting problems. This holistic approach leads to us to being able to deliver the best possible solution to our clients.

Co-Presenting with John LeMay

Presenting: “Novel Approaches to the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) to Posterior Cingulate Cortex (PCC) Square Wave Neurostimulation Protocol”

The cingula and the cingulate cortex is involved in error detection and performance evaluation and can be uniquely viewed through the ERP. John Dewig and John LeMay performed a 10-person study with pre and post ERP, looking at the results of 10 sessions of the anterior to posterior cingulate intervention. From this, we have found that the anterior to posterior cingulate intervention is appropriate in a variety of different clinical presentations They learned the anterior cingulate is involved in in error detection and reevaluation the anterior to posterior singulate. Both are involved in error detection and performance evaluation heavily and anytime you end up with disorders that interrupt those characteristics you've got a good reason to use those anterior to posterior cingulate interventions. We found that using it in a variety of situations when you see those characteristics in the ERP is what drives utilizing it. We began to develop little novel pieces based on the data that we had gathered. We found changes in the distribution of the ERP.

Education Level: INTERMEDIATE

Content builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have a background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications. The primary goal of this particular program is to broaden the clinical, consultative, and research knowledge bases of attendees and was deemed intermediate, by the definition above.  For those psychologists using the modality of biofeedback and interested in efficacy, science, and latest clinical applications. This conference presents research relevant to psychological practice, education, and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies to improve services to patients. This conference is IN NO WAY a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry into the field of psychology.
