How Neurofeedback Supports
Your Mental Health
Neurofeedback improves self-regulation of emotions, thoughts, and behavior through a process known as operant conditioning, a type of reinforcement learning. This process guides the brain to adopt healthier patterns, hence improving many mental health conditions. Here's how neurofeedback works:
Real-time Feedback
During a Neurofeedback session, you will sit in a comfy chair, in front of a monitor. Electrodes will be placed on your scalp in patterns that correspond to the therapeutic effects we are targeting. The electrodes detect real-time brainwave activity. This activity is then displayed on the monitor in the form of a game, movie, or sound. The type of brainwave activity being reinforced is represented in the feedback.
Reinforcement Learning
The principle of reinforcement learning comes into play here. When the brain produces the desired brainwave activity, positive feedback is given (for example, the movie plays smoothly or the game advances), reinforcing that particular pattern. If the brain deviates from the desired activity, negative feedback occurs (the movie pauses or the game stalls), guiding the brain back towards the target activity. For example, a client struggling with anxiety is guided to produce brainwave activity associated with a calm mind. A client struggling with ADD is guided to produce activity that lifts energy, focus, and attention.
Learning and Adaptation
Over time, with regular training, the brain learns to associate the positive feedback with the healthier brainwave pattern. Through this repeated reinforcement, the brain becomes more adept at entering these healthier states on its own, leading to improved self-regulation and reduction of problematic symptoms. This is much like learning to ride a bike: with practice, the brain learns to maintain balance and coordination.
Improved Self-Regulation
As the brain learns to better regulate itself, individuals experience improvements in emotional regulation, thought patterns, and behavior. For instance, someone who struggles with anxiety will learn to bring their brain into a calmer state, thereby reducing anxious feelings and thoughts. Similarly, someone struggling with impulsivity will learn to produce brainwave activity associated with calm and focus, reducing impulsive behaviors.
Through this process, neurofeedback can help improve a wide range of mental health conditions by enhancing the brain's ability to self-regulate.
​
Neurofeedback therapy offers a range of benefits to support individuals with mental health recovery. Here are some key advantages:
Improved Self-Regulation
One of the primary benefits of neurofeedback is improved self-regulation. Through real-time feedback, individuals learn to control their brainwave patterns, leading to better regulation of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This can have a significant impact on managing and resolving various mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more.
Non-Invasive and Drug-Free
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to mental health resolution. This makes it a valuable option for individuals who may be sensitive to medications or prefer not to use them. Since neurofeedback relies on training the brain rather than altering its chemistry, it also tends to have fewer side effects than many traditional treatments.
Personalized Treatment
Every individual's brain is unique, and neurofeedback accounts for this uniqueness. The therapy can be tailored to each person's specific brainwave patterns and mental health needs, making it a highly personalized form of treatment. This increases the likelihood of successful outcomes, as the treatment is designed to address the individual's specific challenges.
Long Lasting Effects
Neurofeedback training has the potential for long-lasting effects. As individuals learn to self-regulate their brainwave activity, these new patterns can become ingrained, leading to sustained improvements in mental health even after the treatment has ended. This is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking a long-term solution to their mental health concerns.

How Neurofeedback Works
Training the Brain into Wellness
1
Relax in a Comfy Chair
During your neurofeedback session, you will sit comfortably in a chair while observing a pleasant scene or engaging in a neurofeedback game on a monitor.
2
Watch a Pleasant Scene
Electrodes will be placed in specific patterns on your head to capture brainwave activity without any invasive procedure. These electrodes transmit the brainwave data to a computer, which then analyzes the information and sends signals back to your brain through the scene on the monitor.
3
Develop Inner Peace
Your brain will adapt its activity in response to signals, finding a regulated state. With training, and over time, this regulated state becomes your new baseline, fostering mental clarity, productivity, wellness, and a profound sense of tranquility.
