Books Neural Therapy® Professional — Levels 1-3

Take your understanding of the brain and body deeper.

You already have the education, clinical experience, and tools you use every day to help your patients and clients. Books Neural Therapy® offers another way to look at what may be happening beneath the symptoms—through the relationship between the brain, body, and nervous system.

Developed through more than 40 years of clinical practice, BNT® brings together Dr. Books’ study of neuroscience, development, movement, cranial work, trauma, and the many systems that influence how the brain and body communicate.

The complete professional BNT® training includes three progressive levels, taking you from the foundational neurological work of Level 1 through cranial and TMJ work in Level 2 and advanced screening and integration in Level 3.

Bring what you already know. Then discover another way to see the whole person.

A Different Way to Look at the Whole Person

Complex patients rarely fit neatly into one system.

Over decades of working with children and adults, Dr. Books began looking beyond individual symptoms and asking how seemingly separate systems—movement, proprioception, vestibular and ocular function, cranial alignment, emotional patterns, development, and more—might be interacting.

Books Neural Therapy® grew from that search. Rather than replacing the clinical knowledge and techniques you already use, BNT® gives you an additional framework for exploring brain/body communication, identifying patterns that may have been missed, and approaching the person in front of you as an integrated whole.

What You'll Learn

Three Levels of Books Neural Therapy®

Level 1: The Body Circuit — Building the Foundation

Level 1 begins with the basic building blocks of learning: the body itself. You’ll explore primitive reflexes, developmental sequences that may have gone awry, trauma, and glitches in the signals traveling from the body to the brain.

When trauma is blocking those signals, learning may not happen as it should—or new learning may be layered on top of a messy foundation. BNT® is designed to address these foundational patterns, helping lift away layers of trauma and reduce the stress surrounding learning.

BNT® Level 1 includes 30 total units across 6 modules, where you’ll learn how to:

  • Reset brain/body communication with core light-touch modalities to provide a solid neurological foundation
  • Retrain brain synchronization and timing
  • Remove fear “lock-down”
  • Reinforce and remyelinate proper pathways with Brainercises
  • Explore how this work can support motor movements, physical coordination, reading readiness, emotional evenness, self-confidence, and behavior

By the end of Level 1, you’ll have more than a collection of techniques—you’ll have a framework for beginning to understand what the brain and body are communicating and a more structured way to put what you notice into practice.

Level 2: The Cranial Circuit — Releasing Head Trauma & TMJ Issues

Level 2 takes BNT® into the head itself and the many ways it can become neurologically disorganized through injuries, falls, trauma, or faulty connections and signals. As Dr. Books puts it, this is where we literally “get your head on straight.”

You’ll explore the relationship between the cranium, jaw, brain, and body, including issues of the TMJ, digestion, physical and emotional trauma stored in the jaw and throughout the body, and communication between the skull and pelvis, head and tailbone.

BNT® Level 2 includes 16 total units across 7 modules, where you’ll learn to:

  • Release cranial trauma and center the head for fluid movements and clearer thinking
  • Address eye movement synchronization and visual and auditory processing
  • Learn modalities for TMJ issues, headaches, head injuries/concussions, and accidents
  • Explore how this work can support clear thinking, faster information processing, resolve injuries, and resolve emotional instabilities 

 

Level 3: The Clearing Course — Bringing It All Together

Each level of BNT® is cumulative, and in Level 3, everything comes together to address the “school brain” and higher cognitive functions.

The course begins by addressing reading, auditory processing, math, and handwriting. In the advanced section, you’ll go deeper into eye tracking, coordination of the hearing and visual channels, memory, ADHD, addictions, OCD, anxiety, reading comprehension and retention, destructive thought patterns, and self-esteem.

BNT® Level 3 includes 27 total units across 7 modules, where you’ll learn to:

  • Identify and eliminate specific obstacles in learning, behavior, speech, and coordination issues
  • Learn 12 step neurological screening process
  • Restore proper eye teaming and tracking
  • Decrease anxiety, improve self-image and confidence
  • Explore how this work can support improved reading retention and comprehension, memory, vision, auditory processing, spelling, math, and handwriting

Brenda Laurent

Learning Center Director
I was amazed. What it takes me 12-18 months to do with someone, I saw Dr. Books do in 5 days. I’ve never seen that with a tool or technique before.  It’s a powerful tool that needs to be in every learning center, all over the world. (2 min. video)

Dr. Charlotte Watts

Professor / Chiropractor
After working with Dr. Books as a patient, the improvements in my reading & study were remarkable. The struggle was gone. After graduation, I became a certified BNT therapist. You, too, can help thousands with learning differences. (1 min. video)

Barbara Guysenir

BNT Certified Practitioner
BNT is so much more than I realized.  It’s easy to learn, is well organized and thought out, and is taught in digestible chunks.  Then it’s just a matter of practicing to get really good at it. The Results: I just had an 8 year old exclaim: “I”m having a great day. and I’m going to have a great life because I can read now“.  What more reward could I ask?

 

Julie Newendorp

Seasoned Professional in BNT
I’ve been using Books Neural Therapy™ in my practice for the last year and a-half. I have so many more patients now. The work has been really fun and my clients have had huge success – from ages 80 to 5. I’m making such a difference in the world. (1 min. video)

Where Heart and Neuroscience Meet

Dr. Books describes her approach as the meeting of two worlds: knowledge of what to do and when—and the sensitivity to pay attention to what the person in front of you is telling you. BNT® brings together structured neurological assessment and technique with the awareness developed through hands-on clinical practice.

You aren’t starting over. You are bringing your existing education, experience, clinical judgment, and understanding of the human body with you—and adding another way to explore the connections between the systems you already work with every day.
