ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the prefrontal cortex and the executive functions that help us to control our attention, decrease or eliminate unwanted behavior, and engage in planning, organization, and effective decision making. For each of the two sites, FP1 and FP2, dysregulation factors and two neurocounseling techniques will be presented, as well as LORETA image activations for each site. FP1 neurocounseling techniques, with included step-by-step instructions, are reframing and task breakdown/planning. FP2 neurocounseling techniques, with included step-by-step instructions, are diaphragmatic breathing and Kirtan Kriya meditation.
