You’ve Already Lived Traumatic Brain Injury
So have I.
Symptoms last because you still have to recover the traumatic part, which only you and your body can do.
Learn how sensory-motor care heals your autonomic nervous system, so you can get back to living meaningful days.
Symptoms Are Not Your Fault
Most of us grow up believing the brain runs the show.
Traditional, top-down concussion treatment often fails because it ignores how trauma locks the body into a defensive, hyper-sensitive state, creating a constant, damaging feedback loop to the brain.
Because the brain interprets this chronic physical tension as a continuous threat, healing requires an accessible bottom-up approach to change the messages the body sends to the brain, rather than only thinking through the physical injury.
The Body Creates Neuroplasticity
The body is the foundation of your brain’s function.
Good Mood Method is a specialized, bottom-up therapeutic program designed to help individuals recover from physical and emotional trauma, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions. The program utilizes three clinical pillars; Music, Movement, and Meaning to move the nervous system from a state of protective, hyper-sensitive survival into a state of safety and healing.
My primary goal is to relieve you of physical and emotional limitations that keep you from experiencing meaningful days.
Good Mood Method
Music (Sensory)
Polyvagal Theory (Dr. Porges)
Certified in SSP, RRP, ILS & PVT
The nervous system cannot change what it believe while it is still convinced the threat is present. Precisely filtered acoustic stimulation through the Safe and Sound Protocol sends a direct biological signal to the vagus nerve that the environment has changed, and that the ears are given permission to receive a new safe experience. This is where recovery always begins.
Movement (Motor)
Foundation Training (Dr. Goodman)
Founder of FT4T
After traumatic injury, the brain navigates from the memory of the most harmful moment rather than what is actually present. Deliberate, organized movement through the fascial meridians and spine send fresh sensory information that restores clarity to the brain's map of the body, returning the brain and nervous system to capability.
Meaning (Psyche)
Logotherapy (Dr. Frankl)
Certified Foundations Provider
Logotherapy is the only clinical framework built on the premise that meaning is not a reward for recovery, it is the condition for it. Developed by Viktor Frankl from his own experience of survival, it provides practical tools to locate what still matters inside the experience of limitation, to find the choices that remain available in any condition, and to author a life that feels like yours again.
Gilad, Founder of Good Mood Method
My recovery from four brain bleeds was challenging
but it happened quickly because I already had a meaningful relationship with my body.
Relief, function, and meaningful days arrive when the brain has received enough safe sensorimotor input which prove that the danger has passed. I can teach you to create your recovery.
The research shows it: we cannot think our way into change, we have to experience it. If you’re ready to recover:

What Becomes Possible
“I feel like the nervous system element is the biggest missing piece in concussion recovery! I am so grateful to have found you!”
— Jenna (TBI, PCS, Fibromyalgia, Severe Depression)
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the work that you do! Your breath and movement practice has truly transformed my life, my recovery and empowered me to trust my body once again!
I was able to hit a tennis ball with my dad this past weekend with minimal symptoms and it felt amazing! It’s something I never thought I’d be able to do again and it brings tears to my heart to slowly reconnect to parts of myself I thought were lost forever!
Working with you has been a major blessing and I am beyond grateful! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏.”
— Karmen (PTSD, POTS, Dysautonomia)
"Hiii Gilad.. I'm reflecting on my year & you were a VIP of my 2024! You were such a steady and encouraging support, like a real rock in my recovery process!! I felt held and seen and listened to and it made all the difference on that exciting journey I was on. And now officially a few months after totally feeling better I can say my nervous system is a lot more wise than a year ago!"
