improving brain performance with neurofeedback technologies 

Stress and Anxiety

 

Stress and stress related disorders account for over three quarters of all visits to the Doctor, and the use of anti-stress medication is rampant. Chronic stress can present a myriad of symptoms; migraines, fears, phobias, sleep trouble, irritable bowel, digestive difficulty, anger issues, adrenal fatigue, burnout, the list is almost endless.

When under stress, we underperform in all aspects of life. Stress affects the tone of your central nervous system, affecting hormonal balance, impairing the immune system, and the function of your whole body. Negative emotions and stressful thoughts are damaging to the physiological system – which is why we experience them as physical as well as mental distress.

Neurofeedback is a highly effective and direct method to return your mind to its natural unstressed position.

 

I felt held and supported every step of the way. My partner says my whole demeanour is more confident and less anxious. My stress is definitely way down.

It’s like there has been a significant shift in the way i perceive myself and the world. It’s the difference between narrow, anxious, tight thinking and a gentler, more composed, relaxed, wider ranging thought. It’s like I’m the same person only it’s easier being me.

 

The literature, which lacks any negative study of substance, suggests that EEG biofeedback therapy should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas.  In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy, it would be universally accepted and widely used (Clinical Electroencephalography, 2000).
