Next meeting: January 12, 2009

Lifelines: The Brain Injury Support Group
meeting at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas


The January meeting is scheduled for Monday, the 12th, from 6:30 – 8:00 PM (directions below).

Matt Kramer will present information on Voice Mapping and Sound Healing, a type of biofeedback therapy.

Matt Kramer is a professional mediator, facilitator and trainer. Since 1994, he's performed over 500 mediations including workplace conflicts, business, family, divorce and custody disputes, small claims and litigated civil disputes and victim/offender restitution. Currently, Matt is also a practitioner of Voice Mapping and will be speaking about this therapy at our meeting. Please visit his website at http://www.mkvoicemap.com/ and bring any questions you have.

To give you an idea about what Matt will be talking about, here's a brief excerpt from his website:

"In a Voice Mapping session, you will record short "voice maps" on family, relatives and significant people in your life, about circumstances (such as car accidents and traumatic childhood events), and about health and other chronic conditions that are limiting your capacity to live a full, emotionally healthy life. Words are not recorded, only a combination of the present and missing frequencies in your voice. The missing frequencies are a consequence of the buried memories connected to the subject of your recording."

"The frequencies derived from your recording are then broadcast back to you. These frequencies stimulate and balance the relevant memory/muscle connection. During the balancing, you may experience a powerful emotional release or realize a significant insights into stress your experienced. If that connection is storing a memory connected to stress and trauma, that memory is causing an imbalance or distortion in the body’s energy field. That imbalance is contributing to the challenges you may be facing. In the biofeedback process, you may recall forgotten memories, strong emotional feelings, and/or critical insights that can help you break free of rigid thinking, unresolved grief and anger and other buried emotions that keep you stuck in repetitive behavior patterns."

Directions to Presbyterian Hospital:
Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas is located on Walnut Hill Lane, just east of U.S. 75 (Central Expressway). The meetings are in the

When turning into the campus from eastbound Walnut Hill, the best route to take may be the driveway prior to the light for the main entrance. The driveway curves away from the main entrance (direction towards North Central Expressway) and the entry to the parking lot is on the left (gated entry). The Fogelson Building has a small dome on top and is next to the Margot Perot Center.

Using the underground parking is the easiest way to reach the meeting location; if entering from the main floor, cross the foyer (past the stairs) and take the elevators to the ground floor. Classroom A is to the left off the elevators.

Remember that parking is now free! Be sure to get your validation sticker at the start of the meeting.
