The Limbic System Protocol (LSP) is a Counterstrain-inspired, gentle hands-on treatment modality for acutely and chronically stressed brains and nervous systems. The LSP was first developed by Tim Hodges, LMT, JSCCI, CACI after working with a Counterstrain client who has a significant history of PTSD. In the years since, the LSP has flowered and become ever more complete. Dr. Matt is the medical director for the LSP system and training program.

The Limbic System Protocol works phenomenally well for nervous systems under high allostatic load (high stress, whether acute or chronic) - PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, neurodiverse and masking, grieving, burnt-out, and so on. In fact, it has already undergone pilot studies in law enforcement and military personnel, and shows great promise in helping them process trauma, express less anger and dissociation with their loved ones, and improve their quality of life.

When Tim first approached me to discuss an early version of this work and to ask for my involvement, it was an easy 'yes' for me - and once I experienced the work for myself (and even more once I started practicing with the LSP), I never looked back. I use the LSP for many of my in-person patients, and see incredible results for them in terms of emotional resilience, better sleep, improved interpersonal relationships, and happier, lower-stress living.

The LSP is very effective in those who deal with PTSD, cPTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, neurodiversity with masking, grief, burnout, and much more.
