research & Development
Project Healing Hive in partnership with Bee Eternal Enterprise, conducts independent research on the efficacy of holistic therapies and CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) when integrated into a cognitive behavioral health program. Our research, meta-analysis, and developed treatment models are meant to create systemic change in the standard model of treatment for mental health. Our goal is to provide evidence-based research and results supporting the effectiveness of holistic therapies and CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) when integrated into cognitive behavioral therapy so that these services become part of the standard model of mental health care.
​
Studies show that Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM) may help improve neuroplasticity and cognition and may decrease depression and PTSD symptoms. By integrating CAM therapies into a standard model Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) plan, neuroplasticity may have the ability to improve cognition and reduce depression symptoms making the CBT treatment more effective. Neurofeedback (NFB) is a noninvasive treatment for mental health issues. NFB uses sensors and a Brain Computer Interface to measure brainwaves, allowing individuals to observe and modulate their own brain’s activity. A feedback and reward system helps patients achieve brain states associated with self-regulation, attention, focus, and other improvements relative to behavioral health conditions. NFB helps address patterns of dysregulation associated with irregular brainwave activity found in trauma.

current research
Beehive Immersion Therapy (BIT)
Pilot Program
Our Pilot Case Study is designed to observe the impact of BIT on participants over the course of an 8-week program.
Research Goals
Using Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and Neurofeedback (NFB), researchers will evaluate neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and breath pattern awareness.

Pilot Program
This Pilot Case Study will observe the effects of CBT integrated with CAM modalities (including Beehive Immersion Therapy (BIT), yoga, Qigong, craniosacral therapy, breathwork and word search puzzles) have on individuals with depression over a 12-week period.
Research Goals
Using Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and Neurofeedback (NFB), researchers will evaluate neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and breath pattern awareness.
