How Can Neurofeedback Therapy Help Me?

Neurofeedback Therapy

For those who suffer from a mental health condition or emotional sources of pain, neurofeedback therapy— a type of biofeedback  — can be used to train your brain to self-regulate, helping you to stay calm and focussed.

This type of therapy can be used to ease the symptoms of several mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

How Does It Work? 

Neurofeedback therapy works through brain mapping, during which an individual wears a fitted cap with electrodes that are attached to a computer. Results of the brain mapping allow a therapist to identify which areas of the brain may be contributing to the person’s mental health symptoms.

With this information, the therapist can create an individualized plan for your recovery based on the results provided.

How Does It Help? 

Neurofeedback therapy is different than other therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other forms of talk therapy done with a mental health therapist. This type of therapy is unique in that it provides individualized biofeedback to the patient by tracking their brainwaves on graphs through images and sounds. This information can help the individual learn to regulate themselves during times of distress.

Having access to biofeedback through neurofeedback therapy can lower feelings of anxiety and create calmness.

What Else Should I Know? 

Neurofeedback is a simple and painless process and is a type of therapy that does not come with the potential side effects of medications. An alternative to medication, this form of treatment is an integrative way to address various mental health conditions.

After the neurofeedback treatment period ends, the benefits of the therapeutic process are known to persist as healing continues.
