Neurofeedback Training

How Neurofeedback Works

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive method of teaching the brain how to regulate itself by monitoring and optimizing  the electrical activity of the brain.

What is neurofeedback used for?

Because neurofeedback is so successful in helping to establish a state of balance within
the brain, it has wide application for treating the symptoms of numerous conditions such
as:
‍
• Anxiety Disorders
• Panic Attacks
• Depression
• Panic Attacks
• Mood Swings
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Developmental Trauma
• Sleep Disorders
• TBIs
• Migraines and Tension Headaches
• Attentional Issues
• ADD/ADHD
• Memory Issues
• Addictions
• Auto Immune Disturbances

How Frequent Should Training Sessions Be?

Initially it is recommended that a person comes in twice-a-week for neurofeedback therapy.  Each session will last between 45 and 60 minutes.  The length of the session will depend on each individual and his/her specific needs.

When a person comes in twice-a-week, it is not that they will have more sessions overall.  One is just frontloading the training sessions, so that they will experience the positive effects of the treatment sooner than if they just came in once-a-week.

It can be likened to learning a new athletic skill, or how to play a musical instrument or learn a foreign language.  The more one practices, the sooner one experiences positive results.

How Many Sessions Does A Person Need?

There is no set answer to this question, as it depends on the individual’s external circumstances and the severity of symptoms.

Generally speaking, though, you may expect to have between 20 to 30 sessions – often beginning to experience subtle positive changes within 6 to 8 consecutive  neurofeedback sessions.

That said, in some cases, an individual may do less than 20 sessions, and some with more chronic and severe symptoms, may do significantly more than 30 sessions.

Again, the number of sessions depends on the individual and the severity of the symptoms.
