“Neurofeedback improves how you feel and function by improving how your brain operates.”
That sounds almost too simple to be true, right? Well, not only is it true, but its backed by research too. While there is more to how exactly it works, neurofeedback can in fact improve your life by training your brain!
Neurofeedback is all about brainwaves. Neurons create brainwaves that fire in the brain, and they have different frequencies that are produced in different situations. Our body produces certain brainwaves when we are concentrating, others when we are falling asleep, etc. Sometimes, our brains produce a frequency that does not match the situation we are in, and this is where problems arise. The job of neurofeedback is to train the brain to increase or decrease appropriate frequencies. The goal of this training is to obtain better overall feeling and functioning. As you can imagine, this is beneficial for a variety of issues. It can help with ADD/ ADHD, insomnia, anxiety, phobias, depression, trauma, relationships, and much more.
ADHD
People with ADHD and other attentional issues have shown to benefit greatly from neurofeedback. Due to the many side effects, many people dislike ADHD medication. For this reason, neurofeeback is a wonderful alternative to other treatments like medication. One individual can have their treatment specifically tailored to their problems. For instance, there are certain protocols put in place for specific situations. These protocols are known to help the issue at hand. An individual assessment is done and a protocol is developed to help brain stability and functioning.
Depression & Anxiety
Depression and anxiety is another issue that can be treated with neurofeedback. With these issues, the neurofeedback trains your brain to have improved mood regulation and balance. This helps you to better assess situations that may prompt anxiety. It also trains you to react better in difficult situations. As a result, there is an increase in arousal and improvement in mood.
Trauma
In cases of trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder, patients can be treated with the alpha-theta protocol. This specific protocol relieves symptoms of PTSD. Neurofeedback helps trauma victims let go of the feeling of loss of control and reality. A total of 89% of PTSD patients reported making progress after 20 sessions using BrainPaint.
Personal Relationships
One unique area that can be improved through BrainPaint is relationships. Many relationship issues can send us into survival mode and fill us with fear. Our frontal lobe shuts down in cases like this. As a result, we stop reasoning and problem solving. This eliminates proper communication skills. However, neurofeedback trains our brains to keep the frontal lobe activated. Through this, we are able to deal with conflict more properly.
This therapy can treat many other issues you may have as well. By using neurofeedback, you can begin heading toward an improved life! If you are interested, you can begin neurofeedback by scheduling with one of our clinicians here: http://marriagecenter.us/our-services/
