Associative Awareness Technique™ Educational Seminars



A New, Dynamic Treatment Approach Specifically Designed for:

  • Trauma
  • Chronic Pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Depression
  • Post Traumatic Stress
  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Anxiety Related Disorders

Stop struggling with complex chronic cases!



Learn to treat the CAUSE of these conditions and you will achieve success where everything else has failed.

Associative Awareness Technique™ (AAT™) focuses upon the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) as the primary target of treatment. By harnessing the healing potential stored within the Autonomic Nervous System, outcomes are now possible that have never before been achieved.

Manual therapists, Physicians and body workers alike can now understand how the Central Nervous System plays an integral role in all the above conditions, AND implement therapeutic interventions with astounding results.

By focusing your treatment interventions on the Autonomic Nervous System, you will be able to step outside of traditional pain management approaches with your patients. Instead, having tools to guide them through a process that results in EXTINGUISHING the pain responses that have plagued them for so long! In many cases, even long term, complex pain patterns are resolved with Associative Awareness Technique™ ...not just managed, but resolved!

Through AAT™ seminars you will learn how the Autonomic Nervous System functions during times of trauma, injury and the onset of dysfunction AND how those patterns of dysfunction then become habituated over time. This will shed new light on your understanding of ideology as it relates to your most challenging patient load: Chronic Pain.

Moreover, you will gain unique perspective in how to formulate and implement a treatment program designed specifically to address the Autonomic Nervous System and extinguish the habituated patterns of chronic conditions.

Listen to what our students have to say about attending an AAT™ seminar:




AAT™ gives you the tools to guide your patients through a healing process that resets their Autonomic Nervous System, allowing them to resume normalized function without persistent pain patterns influencing their lives.

Associative Awareness Techniques™ have very complex interactions within your patient’s Central Nervous System, yet are simple to apply. AAT™ is extremely easy on your body too, and is perfect for:

  • Medical Doctors
  • Osteopathic Doctors
  • Nurse Practitioners / Nurses
  • Physical Therapists
  • Physical Therapist Assistants
  • Occupational Therapists
  • Occupational Therapist Assistants
  • Acupuncturists
  • Massage Therapists
  • Rolfers
  • Chiropractors
  • Athletic Trainers
  • Exercise Physiologists
  • Speech Therapists

Simply put, Associative Awareness Techniques™ will allow you to achieve better results with your patient population by directly influencing the Autonomic Nervous System to resume a state of homeostasis, thereby eliminating the perpetual need for prolonged physiological reactions to trauma, chronic pain, stress, anxiety and post traumatic stress.

By attending this seminar, you will:

1. Understand the clinical implications of the Autonomic Nervous System and Fight/Flight/Freeze responses
2. Understand complex relationships between the Brainstem, Limbic System and Neocortex
3. Understand the roles of extrinsic and intrinsic memory systems within chronic pain patterns
4. Understand how Mechanoreceptors communicate with the Somatosensory Cortex to eliminate chronic tension patterns
    and subsequently pain
5. Identify disorders of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems
6. Learn how stress creates Physiological changes in multiple body systems
7. Learn to implement treatments specifically targeting the Autonomic Nervous System

The Science that supports Associative Awareness Technique™ is championed by leading neurologist and traumatologist, Author and International Speaker, Dr. Robert Scaer, MD.

Robert Scaer, M.D. received his B.A. in Psychology, and his M.D. degree at the University of Rochester. He is Board Certified in Neurology, and has been in practice for 39 years, twenty of those as Medical Director of Rehabilitation Services at the Mapleton Center in Boulder, CO. His primary areas of interest and expertise have been in the fields of brain injury and chronic pain, and more recently in the study of traumatic stress and its role in all mental illness, as well as in physical symptoms and many chronic diseases.

He has lectured extensively on these topics, and has published several articles on the whiplash syndrome and other somatic syndromes of traumatic stress. His first book, The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation and Disease, presents a new theory of dissociation and its role in many diseases. A second edition of this book was published in November, 2007. A second book, The Trauma Spectrum: Hidden Wounds and Human Healing, released in July, 2005, explores the insidious spectrum of culturally-based trauma that shapes our lives, and how transformation and healing may still take place. Dr. Scaer is currently retired from clinical medical practice, and continues to pursue a career in writing and lecturing.
