Neurofeedback is a type of therapy that uses real-time feedback of brain activity to help individuals learn how to regulate and improve their brain function. It is a non-invasive, safe and drug-free way to address a variety of mental and physical health conditions.
During a neurofeedback session, electrodes are placed on the scalp to monitor brain activity. This information is then fed back to the client through visual or auditory feedback, which can take the form of videos, movies, or music. As the client learns to regulate their brain activity, they are rewarded with positive feedback, such as the screen getting brighter. Over time, this process can help the client train their brain to function more efficiently, leading to improvements in a range of symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sleep disorders, chronic pain, and more.
Neurofeedback is a highly individualized therapy, tailored to the specific needs and goals of each client. The number of sessions required can vary depending on the individual and their condition, but typically, clients will see improvements after 10 to 20 sessions.Neurofeedback is a fascinating tool, capable of both diagnosing and treating irregularities in brainwave patterns. This in turn can help manage a range of mental, emotional, and behavioral issues, including:
Depression
Anxiety
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Sleep problems
Autism
Impulsivity
Mood regulation
