Neurofeedback

90% respond to training. May reduce symptoms effectively.

Research shows that 90% of neurofeedback participants respond to training. We work with people aged 6 and up. Neurofeedback is not a cure but it may reduce symptoms, help individuals regulate their emotional reactivity, behavior, and reduce impulsive reactivity. It improves memory, attention, concentration, sleep, emotions, cognitive function, and performance.

  • Anxiety
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD
  • Autism
  • Chronic fatigue

  • Eating disorders
  • Emotional dysregulation

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Tourette’s syndrome/tic disorder
  • Or other mental health issues
Training For Over-Arousal

Training For Over-Arousal

lndividuals who are experiencing symptoms of over-arousal tend to have excess beta brain waves and decreased SMR brain waves. Treatment goal for over-arousal individuals is to reduce the level of beta waves, and increase SMR waves. A reduction in excess energy levels allow the mind and body to be more relaxed and calmer, yet alert at the same time.

Examples Of An ‘Over-Aroused’ Brain

  • Brain
  • Busy mind/ many competing thoughts
  • Impulsive
  • Fidgety
  • Hyperactive
  • Easily bored
  • Risk seeker
  • Impatient
  • Agitated
  • Aggressive
  • Anxious/ fearful
  • Tense
  • Feel overwhelmed
  • Frequent tension headaches
  • Holds resentments
  • Difficulty falling asleep
Training for Under-Arousal

Training for Under-Arousal

Training for under-arousal Individuals who are experiencing symptoms of under-arousal tend to have excess theta brain waves and decreased beta brain waves. The treatment goal for under-aroused individuals is to reduce the level of theta waves, the level of drowsiness, and increase beta waves. At the end of each training session, individual should feel more awake, focused and motivated.

Examples Of An ‘Under-Aroused’ Brain:

  • ADHD
  • Innatention
  • Poor concentration
  • Inattentive
  • Distractability
  • Frequent day dreaming
  • Spaciness/fogginess
  • Forgetful
  • Lack of Motivation
  • Depression/low mood
  • Lethargy
  • Sensitive/feelings easily hurt
  • Frequent waking at night
  • Not feeling rested after sleep
  • Falls asleep in low stimulation situations
  • Low self-esteem

Does Neurofeedback Have Long-Lasting Effects?

Neurofeedback provides long-lasting benefits by training the brain to perform optimally. Similar to learning to ride a bicycle, once the brain masters this balance, it retains the ability subconsciously. Even after years, the brain remembers how to stay balanced, keeping you relaxed and comfortable without conscious effort.

How many Neurofeedback sessions are necessary for lasting results?

On average, 20-40 neurofeedback sessions are needed for lasting results, but noticeable changes often occur within 3-20 sessions.

If neurofeedback is so effective, why don’t more people know about it?

In the 1960s, it was discovered that people could control their brainwave patterns. Early research was limited and published in specialized journals, making it less known. Advances in computer technology have now made neurofeedback a valuable clinical tool, widely used by mental health providers, gaining recognition and acceptance.

What are the potential side effects of neurofeedback therapy?

Most neurofeedback patients experience few adverse effects, often finding sessions relaxing and calming, with increased energy afterward. While generally safe, some report vivid dreams, tiredness, nausea, dizziness, and light sensitivity, especially those with prior brain injuries. Neurofeedback improves neuroflexibility, making it beneficial despite occasional mild side effects.
