Eventually, this page will be an in-depth look at what “brain retraining” is, why people with IBD probably need it, the science behind how it works, and the various programs and modalities available.
For now, it’s a landing page where I can collect the names of “brain retraining” programs as I become aware of them.
The Dynamic Neural Retraining System is the only program that I have direct experience with so far, and if you click on that link below, it will take you to my IBD Index post about that specific program. All of the other links will just take you to the respective program website.
As I mention in my DNRS post, I believe that brain retraining is likely the missing piece for many people with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, especially if they’ve tried everything else with limited success. So I’m very excited to delve more deeply into this area of research and start figuring out the most effective brain retraining approaches for IBD patients specifically!
Below are all of the “brain retraining” programs I’m currently aware of. Since none of these programs mention each other, and they all sound extremely similar, there’s probably some copying-without-attribution going on, but I guess that’s the internet for ya.
I had thought that DNRS was the “original” and that all others were copies, but a comment on this video claims that Annie Hopper (DNRS creator) modeled her program after the Lightning Process, so who knows.
If you have any experience with any “brain retraining” programs, please send me a message or leave a comment! I’d love to do a true compare/contrast between the different programs available, but I don’t think I can justify spending hundreds of dollars on a bunch of different online programs purely for the sake of science.
