Neurotherapy (or neurofeedback) is one of the most exciting developments of recent years in addressing problems such as anxiety, depression, ADD and ADHD . The basic principles of biofeedback have been known for years to be efficacious in regulating body processes such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration. But the ability to provide instantaneous feedback to a client on the activity of the brain in an outpatient office setting is relatively recent. A truly cutting edge treatment method, neurotherapy assists an individual in retraining their own brain waves, increasing brain efficiency. The benefits of neurotherapy are just being explored, but its ability to help with a wide range of mood and attention disorders has been clearly demonstrated.
Do you need to have a specific problem to do neurofeedback training? Absolutely not -- many people are currently using neurofeedback to improve efficiency, sharpen peak performance training, reduce stress, and enhance mental focus.
Children who struggle with attention based difficulties find neurofeedback especially empowering as one of the methods of training is to have a client play a video game. Amazingly, they play, not with a joystick or handheld controller, but by changing the way they think, An improvement in focus begins with the first session. Adults find that neurofeedback can improve mood and dissipate anxiety, providing them with a sense of clarity and elevated mood.
