Neurofeedback
Imagine seeing exactly how your brain responds to stimuli in real-time.
Neurofeedback offers a biological approach to changing the way you respond to triggers and stress.
How Neurofeedback Works
Neurofeedback shows individuals and their therapists real-time images of brain waves.
Observing how the activity in the brain changes based on positive or negative feedback allows you to gain control of stress responses you might have thought weren’t in your control. EEG software reads your brainwaves and then provides audio and visual feedback so your brain can better understand how it is functioning.
Neurofeedback therapy can be used to treat:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Insomnia
- Addiction
- Many other cognitive and behavioral disorders
Neurofeedback is associated with dramatic positive real-life outcomes. In the context of substance abuse, studies have shown that more sessions of neurofeedback therapy lead to considerably fewer overdose deaths. Allowing people to see the visual representation of their emotions and reactions significantly increases the success rate for many different recovery programs.
The Benefits of Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback offers a perspective on mental health that most people may not have seen before. When you see what your brain waves look like during positive stimuli, you can learn to match those brain waves when negative stimuli are presented. Essentially, you can train your brain to respond how you want it to.
IT CONNECTS PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL RESPONSES
Sometimes, we just need to put a name or a reason to the feelings we have. Neurofeedback is a tool to understand ourselves better.
IT HARMONIZES BRAIN ACTIVITIES
Everyone has an optimal range of brain activity where we aren’t over- or under-stimulated. Neurofeedback helps you find that optimal range, even when presented with a trigger.
IT’S NONINVASIVE
Though neurofeedback therapy measures brain activity, it’s not an invasive procedure. Small electrodes are placed on your head that measure electricity from your brain. It’s done in a safe, relaxing room where most other therapy sessions take place.
IT’S AN EFFECTIVE TRAUMA TREATMENT
For those who have experienced trauma, certain triggers set off the fight, flight, or freeze response. Neurofeedback therapy helps you consciously change your response to these triggers.
