Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a "BRAIN BASED" therapy.  A brain balancing tool to help the brain achieve it's optimum potential while promoting a sensory stimulus with relaxation response.  When areas of the brain talk to one another in an efficient manner through effective neuronal communication, this creates a streamlined effect in performance, a greater ability for the body to regulate including mind and emotion.  The lack of proper brain performance can lead to inattention, distractibility, brain fog, and a host of health degenerative disorders that can be frustrating to track and maintain when emotional stress become the primary trigger.  Physical conditions that can be triggered by stress can lead to difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, difficulty eating or maintaining healthy routines, difficulty staying on task or following through with goals and plans.
 
Prolong exposure to mind - body - emotions disconnect, I have observed in my practice,  a predominant co-morbid diagnosis of pain issues as fibromyalgia, arthritis, inflammatory bowel syndromes or IBS, chronic fatigue syndromes to name a few serious health issues.
 
Areas affected by a well functioning brain include: better decision making skills, execution of decision and follow through of goals in the calmest, concentrated and focused feel-good way as possible, greater overall physical and emotional health.

IMAGINE getting sick with fever. In that moment in time, the body feels weak and unable to do anything but sleep and recover. Emotionally, one can feel down or agitated or weak. The idea of someone bringing one food or medicine can be soothing because there is a show of care. In this example, one’s mind, body and emotions are working in concert with one another.

What to Expect:

To begin treatment, baseline tests are conducted to establish current state of performance.  It can take 1-5 sessions to establish one's "sweet spot" for optimal functioning, where one can expect optimum balance of focus and calm state of being.  Given that one's equilibrium will change as overall state of health improves, greatest indicator of change is most prevalent after completion of 20 sessions. Atypical clients with atypical reactions to the neurofeedback will have atypical results .  Neurofeedback has a cumulative effect on one's overall health system, consequently, completion of neurofeedback treatment is highly dependent upon the individual's severity of symptoms or goals in treatment.  Neurofeedback treatment is provided based on request or recommended intervention.  One can expect a conversation during treatment planning before any services are initiated.
