Coherence

Achieve The Core Coherence Map
Coherence Definition

Coherence is a chaotic and highly spontaneous dinner party mystery. The acting is artificial, which may work for you (or not) as part of the unnerving vibe. The characters' actions are puzzling. ‘The coherence of wit is an excellent measure of adequacy.’ ‘Also for coherence, the cooking portion of the program concludes with still photographs of each chef's set of prepared dishes.’ ‘The accuracy of this model is in the coherence of the data.’. But after a couple of cheap shocks the storyline takes over. For the following hour, 'Coherence' plays with the possibilities of infinite universes, of infinite selves, of the differences small decisions can make, and of how they affect lifelong relationships between friends, rivals and lovers.

What Is Cardiac Coherence Training?

Cardiac coherence training (CCT) involves the use of biofeedback to control heart rate variability (HRV) — the moment-to-moment change in heart rate. With the help of the clinician, a person can learn to make the heart rate fluctuation more rhythmic or coherent.

The skills learned with the use of biofeedback can be practiced at home for relaxation and can be used as a stress management tool during daily activities. However, the program is much more than a simple relaxation technique — a person learns to appreciate oneself, to substitute stressful responses with more positive emotions, and to more freely engage one's heart and caring side.

What Is the Background of Cardiac Coherence Training?

We have long known that stress stimulates the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight response) and relaxation or positive emotions involve the parasympathetic system. Much research has shown a direct connection between sympathetic vs. parasympathetic tone and physical and mental health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, there appears to be a two-way communication system between the brain and the nerves surrounding the heart.

This system affects the body's stress hormones and immune system. Research has shown benefits of CCT for management of stress and anxiety symptoms, work satisfaction, and work and school performance. Additionally, the HRV pattern associated with a stress response may be a risk factor for complications in cardiac patients. Further research is needed about the role of CCT for these patients.

What Are the Indications for Cardiac Coherence Training?

Used most commonly for general wellness and stress management
Stress related to family, school, or work situations
Posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, or phobias
Stress affectng mental or physical health or relationships
Health problems that can have a significant stress component, such as hypertension and coronary artery disease

What Are the Contraindications for Cardiac Coherence Training?

There are no specific contraindications to CCT, but individuals with active suicidality or psychosis may require a more intensive level of psychiatric care.

Additionally, there may be technical difficulties with the use of this form of biofeedback for individuals with cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).
