Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA. It aims to help individuals better regulate their brain activity by working on the electrical patterns that lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, OCD, ADD/ADHD and more.

 

During a neurofeedback session, sensors are placed on the scalp to monitor brainwave patterns. These brainwaves represent the electrical activity in different regions of the brain.

 

When the brain produces patterns associated with focus, relaxation, or other desirable states, the individual receives positive feedback in the form of visual or auditory cues.

 

This feedback helps the brain recognize its own activity and encourages the production of healthier patterns. Over time, with consistent training, the brain learns to regulate itself more effectively, leading to improved mental well-being.

 

In simpler terms, neurofeedback is like a brain workout that teaches your brain to reach it’s optimal patterns of functioning and let go of old, stuck patterns that contribute to negative mental health symptoms.

 

By providing feedback when your brain is doing well, it learns to maintain those positive states on its own, helping you feel more focused, calm, and better equipped to handle everyday challenges.
