Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback or Neurotherapy, is a therapeutic technique that provides real-time feedback on your brain activity. This allows us to help retrain your brain to function more optimally. Used effectively for decades, neurofeedback helps the brain develop healthier brainwave patterns, leading to various positive outcomes.
Think of neurofeedback as a workout for your brain. It teaches your brain to adjust its EEG brainwaves, which can improve your mood, energy levels, and focus.
Through neurofeedback, you can learn to move away from unproductive emotional patterns and symptoms, fostering more positive ones. This is possible because of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to change and adapt.
What happens during a session?
A client has 3-5 sensors placed on their head and ears, in various locations depending on desired outcomes. Nothing goes into the brain, the sensors only read the brainwaves.
The client then watches a screen that gives them feedback that rewards their brain when it is doing what it needs to do to function at it's best. Or the eyes are closed for a certain protocol for auditory feedback only.
