Neuro Cognitive Retraining Therapy
Donna Romack is a certified Feuerstein instrumental enrichment mediators.
Many cancer survivors experience "chemo brain," a cognitive impairment resulting from chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. Symptoms may include decreased short-term memory, problems finding words, short attention span, and difficulty concentrating and multitasking. The best way to get a complete picture of your cognitive functioning is to have neuropsychological testing. Following your test, program staff at Karuna Precision Wellness Center offer therapy based on Feuerstein's theory of structural cognitive modifiability (SCM). The theory suggests systemic change occurs through an interaction between the client and the mediator. It is through this interaction that the learner is taught to process and interact with information across all aspects of their lives in a new manner. This method is called the mediated learning experience (MLE).
9 weeks ago I started cognitive therapy at Karuna Precision Wellness Center with Donna. I was having so many cognitive issues and it was starting to affect my life!! It was so frustrating because before cancer I was so sharp with remembering things, multi tasking, and figuring out the right way to handle things. I knew it was something I needed to get help with! I have noticed a big change since starting therapy. I still have work to do but feel so much better about my ability to handle things. If you are a cancer patient or survivor struggling with [cognitive issues] I suggest you give this therapy a try!!
As a survivor, when you notice changes or feel that something is off with your thinking, attention, or memory, it is important to address concerns
