Neurofeedback Training

Do you or someone you love struggle with attention issues? Issues with anxiety, sleep, or the inability to rest? Do you or someone you love suffer because you are unable to control your behaviors, emotions, or energy levels? Is your child hyperactive or impulsive?

If so, neurofeedback may be a serious treatment option that may deliver the desired results in these areas.

Neurofeedback has been used as an alternative to medication, where often the goal of this treatment is minimizing the need for medications. Neurofeedback is often referred to as brain-training or biofeedback for the brain. Neurofeedback is becoming very popular in treatment approaches for children.

Some areas that have been found to improve from neurofeedback are:

• Emotional processing.
• Ability to relax.
• Sleep.
• Concentration.
• Information processing
• Increased abilities in certain areas.
• Cognitive-behavioral awareness.
• Increased skills and knowledge about the way that you and your brain work together to accomplish certain tasks.

Neurofeedback, Neurotherapy, or brain-training is a modern treatment option that is dependent on your input, energy, motivation, and control to adjust your brain waves. Building control around these processes helps build skills for performance and functioning.

Neurofeedback uses a combination of counseling and technology to assist you to achieve better functioning in the areas that you have identified as problematic or less than satisfactory.

Neurofeedback is a simple process that involves hooking you up to an Electroencephalograph or EEG (a cap or harmless device that you wear on your head that measures the electrical activity in your brain or your brain waves). This type of training or treatment can also be done using other devices such as the HEG (hemoencephalograph), a device that measures the blood flow in your brain.

While wearing the device you are asked to watch upon a computer monitor or TV screen to see, hear, and interact with your own brain waves. Often, you are hooked up to a game and provided the simple agenda of adjusting your brain functioning to win the game.

Sometimes the goal of neurofeedback is to keep a clear picture, or clear level of audio by adjusting your attention and brain waves.

This feedback process assists you to build better connections between your thoughts, brain, and behaviors. With these desired brain changes may come strong benefits and skillsets.

Brain-training or neurofeedback can be used in the therapeutic setting and sometimes at-distance, to increase performance in:

• Impulse control.
• Cognitive skill-building.
• Resilience.
• Fitness training.
• Increased cognitive capacity.
• Executive functioning.
• Concentration.
• Emotion.
• Behavior.
• Speed/state.
• Response.
• Sleep.
• Irritability.
• Processing.
• Memory.

The outcomes from neurofeedback treatments or brain-training are both instant and long-term. Neurofeedback is a safe intervention that assists you or your child to learn about your thoughts, brain, and behaviors quickly. This type of training or treatment assists you to make the changes in your habits that you need to reach a higher level of health and functioning
