What is Neurofeedback Training (NFT)?

The activity in one’s brain determines everything you feel and do. While most people have normal brain function, they still have brain imbalances or chronic emotions that affect their lives. When these strong emotions and unhealthy behaviors become resistant to changes this is when NFT can help. NFT is a way to train brain activity, it is essentially biofeedback for the brain. To understand NFT first we need to understand the basics of brainwaves and their function. Brainwaves are the electrical impulses produced as your brain cells communicate with one another. Brain waves tell us a great deal about how you feel and function; your thought habits, stress levels, underlying mood and overall brain function.

Neurofeedback is a therapeutic intervention that presents the client with real-time feedback on brainwave activity using an EEG device. Supported by over 50 years of clinical research trials, combining Somatic Therapy & Neurofeedback is a safe and effective treatment for the most common mental health concerns. By correcting the underlying cause of the concern, neurofeedback clients report long-lasting reduction of symptoms associated with PTSD, depression, addiction and many more. By retraining the brain, neurofeedback offers a drug free & noninvasive treatment option that compliments traditional therapist-guided treatment plans.
Much as physical exercises develops muscles, the more your brain is exercised into reaching a comfortable, the more efficient it becomes. Once the brain is trained back to a more relaxed or less fearful state it tends to stay there.

What is the process?

1. Symptom Evaluation

To begin with, we make an in-depth evaluation of where you are, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

2. Run a Brain Map

Wearing a tightly fitted cap with electrodes on specific points, we will record an image of the brain using a qEEG, also known as brain mapping. This non-invasive process involves recording your brainwaves for 5-10 minutes eyes open and 5-10
minutes with eyes closed.

3. Analyze Results

Your brain recording is uploaded to a database and compared to similar individuals with healthy brain activity. Cognitive and emotional issues are identified, as well as irregular brainwave patterns. Customized training protocols are created to show the areas of the brain to train into healthy patterns.

4. Neurofeedback Sessions

Training sessions are usually 60 minutes and pleasant. There are several feedback options including calming scenic videos or playing a video game with your “brain”.
