Many clinicians report neurofeedback is the most powerful new therapy they use for helping:
Attention . . Mood . . Control of Emotions . . Ability to Stay Calm . . Sleep . .
Out of Control Behavior . . Obsessive Thinking . .
Certain neurological conditions, including migraines and seizures
When the brain works better, a lot of problems are reduced.
It manages these problems better – and works more normally.
We are especially concerned with the more “intractable” brain-based problems of childhood whose needs are not currently being met.
This includes:
- Seizures and sub-clinical seizure activity
- Severely disruptive behavior disorders such as Conduct Disorder and Bipolar Disorder.
- Autistic spectrum and pervasive developmental delay.
- Cerebral palsy
- Acquired brain injury
- Birth trauma
Many children have sleep problems that can be helped:
- Bed wetting
- Sleep walking, sleep talking
- Teeth grinding
- Nightmares
- Night terrors
We can also be helpful with many of the problems of adolescence:
- Drug abuse
- Suicidal behavior
- Anxiety and depression
We can also help to maintain good brain function as people get older. The good news is that almost any brain, regardless of its level of function, can be trained to function better.
CONDITIONS HELPED BY TRAINING THE BRAIN:
ADHD . . . Attention Deficit
Lots of research shows improved focus and attentional skills for ADD/ADHD.
Autism, Aspergers, Developmental Delays
Helps them learn to calm themselves, seems to speed development.
Addiction
Reduces symptoms that lead to self-medication, particularly anxiety, depression, sleep.
Anxiety
People often report things that used to make them anxious now don’t.
Bipolar Disorder
A powerful tool for training increased mood stability.
Depression
When you’re stuck in a depressed state, training can help you learn to stay out of it.
Insomnia
Training often helps improve sleep patterns- falling asleep, staying asleep.
Learning Disabilities
New research shows training can help improve reading, math and dyslexia.
Migraines
Clients often report training reduces frequency, intensity and duration of migraines.
OCD and Obsessive Thinking
Training the brain can help you learn to quiet the mind and shut off thoughts.
Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD)
Experienced clinicians report training can go well beyond hypnosis, EMDR and psychotherapy.
Seizures and Epilepsy
Research shows training can reduce the number of seizures.
Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Some expert neuropsychologists who work often with stroke and TBI say neurofeedback is one of the best new interventions – and one of the few treatments that can make a big difference.
