Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback training utilizes innovative technology to assist the brain and central nervous system in changing itself to function in the most efficient way. In doing so, it is known to improve an array of symptoms that include emotional regulation, mood, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, learning abilities, seizures, head injuries, addiction, autism spectrum, migraines and other issues. Neurofeedback is also used by athletes and businesses for it's peak performance benefits.
Neurofeedback has also been known as EEG biofeedback. Sensors are gently placed on the head while the therapist reads and analyzes the information that the brain provides. The therapist will then design a customized program presented through a video game the client will simply view. This process will provide feedback to the brain to create more or less of certain brainwaves. For example, in the case of someone wanting to reduce their anxiety the game would encourage the person's brain to operate more slowly. The sensors on the scalp are simply reading the brain waves and providing feedback/information to the therapist in the same way a stethoscope would provide feedback to a doctor.
Given that the brain is the centre of control for the body, when it is functioning at the desirable level, many disruptive symptoms begin to dissipate. Once the brain is given the opportunity (through repetition) to practice and learn to change it's way of functioning, positive long lasting changes tend to occur.
For optimal effectiveness, neurofeedback training is done 1-2 times a week. Sessions are typically 30-50 minutes in length.
