MEMO: LBSL

Hey Peeps,


I have arranged for an in-house seminar on the use of LBSL. The trainer is Mary Lou Browntrout and she has a Ph.D in Non-Verbal Interpersonal Proxemics from MIT. She works with United Signature Select Services and comes highly recommended. For those of you who don't know, LBSL is an emerging form of communication that utilizes calming words and motions in order to facilitate empathy and understanding among people. It is based upon a system that was derived from a program that was derived from Tai Chi and adapted for use with people who have anxiety and pre-morbid cognitive image processing maladaptive dysfunction. Mary Lou assured me that we will cover pedagogy, methodology, chronology, ontology, psychology, and techniques including The Wave, the Slow Wave, the Sweep, Half-Sweep and when to use or not use "little spinners" along with deescalatory verbal techniques refered to as "patroning." These techniques often incorporate adding "ly" to the end of words to effect a more empathic dialogue. According to research done by Dr. Browntrout, these seemingly simple methods trigger certain neurtronic receptors in the hippacampus that cause the release of calming neurotransmitters such as monooxidase inhibitors. The training is free.
