Neurofeedback
What is Neurofeedback
A river carves a canyon over many years. Once a canyon (the thought processes) is carved, it's extremely hard to re-route.
In the late 60’s and early 70’s we learned that one could recondition and retrain brainwave patters. Some of the work began with the training of Alpha waves for relaxation.
Brainwaves occur at various frequencies-some fast and some are slow. You have probably heard of some of them, Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. Each of us always has some degree of these brainwaves present in different parts of our brain.
Example- if you are drowsy there are more Delta waves – if you are not attentive there are more Theta waves present. If you are extremely anxious and tense there is a high frequency of Beta waves …show more content…
However, when you can see your brainwave patterns on a screen a few thousands of a second after they occur it gives you the ability to influence or change them.
So if one suffers from ADHD, stroke, epilepsy, TBI, anxiety, cognitive dysfunction associated with aging or other brain related conditions, NFB training offers additional opportunities to retrain your brain. We now have another treatment alternative to medication.
Neurofeedback is an exciting field with an exceedingly growing community of support. It is a tool that has found a great deal of success in addressing symptoms of addiction, ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and cognitive performance enhancement. In some cases it can almost be thought of as fixing the problem as opposed to treating the symptoms. It is fun and painless and involves nothing more than to sit back, relax, and to watch a video.
Neurofeedback helps because it re-trains the brain so that you can pay better attention and make better decisions for yourself. Neurofeedback re-trains your brain “in the moment”. The reinforcement is almost immediate. This makes it easier for you to feel better and pay better attention so you can consciously make better decisions “in the
