How Does Neurofeedback Help With So Many Psychological Disorders?
Neurofeedback works to help our brains function better so we can feel healthier and perform better. Research and clinical experience have proven that. Neurofeedback is effective in helping ADD, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, sleep disorders, depression, foggy brain, mild cognitive impairment, and more.
How is one technology so consistently helpful with various mental health conditions? Let’s explain how this works. Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback that’s focused exclusively on brain wave feedback. Thus, we monitor naturally occurring brain waves in real time with neuro feedback technology, and provide the brain with immediate feedback signals. This signal over time, encourages the brain to reorganize brain waves incrementally and gradually into a healthier and more functional brain wave pattern. No pain intense effort or forceful demands are placed upon the individual or brain.
Not Coercion or Force But Rewarding with Neurofeedback.
Neurofeedback doesn’t try to coers the brain into change, instead of effort coercion or force, neurofeedback rewards naturally occurring changes in the brain. Thus, over time, small incremental changes accumulate allowing brains to reorganize in healthier directions with better regulated brain waves. Let’s say, we have a brain wave that we want to bring down because it’s too strong which is often the case in kids and adults with ADD, anxiety, panic, OCD, and similar disorders.
In this case, neurofeedback will provide a reward every time this brain wave dips in its natural movement patterns up and down. Over time, the brain responds to this reward and reorganizes resources and communication patterns to produce a more regulated brain wave. When producing more regulated brain wave patterns, symptoms reduce over time. Thus, we can improve various cognitive and mental health conditions because neurofeedback produces these changes through the brain at different locations with different protocols.
It’s important to note that brainwave dysregulation is present for every mental health condition with each disorder having relatively predictable characteristics. Thus, whether it’s attentional issues, sleep problems, ADHD, depression, or various anxiety disorders, these predictable patterns are measurable and changeable with neurofeedback.
The Power Source of Neurofeedback.
In essence, the power of neurofeedback comes from its inherent optimization of momentary states that the brain is already discovered. If there’s magic here, it flows from neurofeedback ability to notice and instantly reward the preferred brain wave pattern. The brain gets better and symptoms dissipate as the brain follows the rewarded of direction. These accumulated changes are profound within the brain if we allow the brain the opportunity to learn and correct itself naturally with neurofeedback.
With better regulation of brain waves, the brain calms and focus is more natural and sustained, impulsivity declines, sleep improves, and thoughts become quieter and more satisfying. These changes occur gently naturally and slowly over time to create a more stable improved state within the brain that’s highly resistant to decline, you can learn more by visiting our website CapitalDistrictNeurofeedback.com.
