Jim Stovall, President of the Emmy Award-winning Narrative Television Network, and a highly sought after best-selling author with 6 novels turned to movies, contributes as the author of the foreword, introducing Behind Locked Doors.

Behind Locked Doors is the story of Charlie, a young woman with a life set up just as she planned. A beautiful home, a dream pastry shop and her high-school sweetheart as her fiancé. When an unfortunate, unpredictable accident causing a severe traumatic brain injury that changes her life in an instant & the lives of those who love her.

Behind Locked Doors brings to light the taboo subject of what happens when someone suffers a severe traumatic brain injury taking her ability to talk, her memory, and ability to control emotions leaving someone who’s personality is no longer recognizable. Being placed in a residential treatment facility, Charlie “wakes up” 2 ½ years later realizing she is in a place she doesn’t know with strangers among her beginning to remember her former life, terrified and unable to express her thoughts.

A story of Faith, Recovery, and Forgiveness. See P.L. SeaWright’s book at Amazon or her site: plseawright.com

Dave Siever conducted research with Dr. Norman Thomas, an internationally recognized specialist in the area of Temporo-Mandibular Dysfunction and myofacial pain. During his employment with the University, Dave developed equipment for the TMJ research laboratory and Educational Psychology Department. These devices included TENS stimulators, biofeedback devices, gnathodynamometers, signal processing and EMG spectral analysis equipment. Dave published a paper with Dr. Norman Thomas on the effects of audio-visual stimulation in the 4th European Congress of Hypnosis.

Over the years, Dave has helped treat approximately 1500 patients with TMJ and MPD. Dave’s realization that many TMJ problems were psychologically related, prompted him to pursue his interest in biofeedback. This brought about the inception of the original D.A.V.I.D. 1 in the spring of 1985, which was used in the Faculty of Arts to help acting students overcome stage fright.

Since then Dave has continued to develop several Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE), Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES), transcranial DC Stimulation (tDCS) and biofeedback devices, with each new development responding to the changes in technology and the demands of the marketplace. Dave continues to design new products relating to personal growth and well-being. See: mindalive.com
