Neurofeedback is like a gym for your brain that can help you repair or strengthen those parts of your brain that impact anxiety, insomnia, migraines, attention, focus, and more.
Author Michael Cohen expands on the gym analogy by saying:
Imagine that your arm is so weak you cannot even hold a glass of water. You go to the gym daily, exercising your muscles. At first, there is no change but, over time, your arm gets stronger. In the same way, imagine that the temporal lobes of your brain are “weak.” (The temporal lobes control many of our emotions.) You want better control over negative emotions, but you cannot tell if or when your brain neurons are firing efficiently. With the special technology of neurofeedback, you receive instant feedback when your neurons are doing their job more effectively so that, over time, you learn to better control your feelings.
That is just one example of how neurofeedback works and what conditions it can treat. Neurofeedback 101explains the technology and its applications in clear and easy to understand language to help you decide if it’s right for you.
