Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback (A specific form of bio-feedback) is a safe and non-invasive treatment for a number of neurophysiological based regulatory disorders and difficulties. Through the use of EEG, the client learns to regulate more effectively via real time feedback from the Neurofeedback program. Neurofeedback has been clinically proven in treating trauma based disorders such as PTSD. Neurofeedback can be a powerful tool when used in conjunction with traditional talk based therapies; to address the underlying brain dysregulation (Neurofeedback) along with integrating the clients experience through counselling. By applying a small number of electrodes to the clients head, brain waves can be picked up through the EEG. The client is then engaged in a visual and auditory feedback program that lets the client know when their brain is functioning within the typical ranges expected for clients of different age ranges.
