With neurofeedback, you can actually eliminate the awful feelings that anxiety can create. Regardless of the source of panic, we can help you get to the root of the problem, so you can regain control of your life. The training is natural, safe, and can help you get your life back!
What’s happening in the brain that can cause anxiety and panic attacks?
Research shows that anxiety disorders can be due to too many Beta (High Frequency) brainwaves on the right side of the brain. These types of brain waves occur naturally when you are awake and thinking actively. However too many Beta waves can cause anxiety, and even cause you to have a panic attack. Unfortunately, due to the very nature of the anxiety attack itself, they are very difficult to control without help.
Neurofeedback Can Help Balance These Brainwaves
First, we will measure your brainwave activity using an advanced technology, called a qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram). The process is painless, and it allows us to measure the actual electrical energy in each lobe of the brain. If your anxiety and panic attacks are the result of too many Beta waves, this is how we find it.
Based on the results of your own personal brain map, you will be provided with an individualized training protocol to correct the measured imbalances. The training sessions are easy and relaxing. All you have to do is sit back and watch a movie!
The Process Is Fully Natural
During a normal training session, the computer will monitor your brainwaves for any that are out of the normal range. When it finds one, the system triggers a response that changes the audio and visual output. This signals the brain to re-focus, and helps correct the imbalanced brainwaves, A normal training session is 30 minutes long, during which these small corrections happen many times.
Remember how you learned to ride a bike? Neurofeedback works in much the same way. Using the audio and visual feedback, over time your brain develops the ability to stay more balanced on its own. This allows you to have the control of your own thoughts, ending the recurrent symptoms of anxiety and panic.
Neurofeedback, also called EEG biofeedback or neurotherapy, is a research proven way to help improve your brain function through computer-controlled brain training exercises. Although the technology is quite sophisticated, the process is simple, painless, and enjoyable.
All the patient has to do is sit back, relax and watch a movie or video of their own choice.
It Is Safe And Provides Long Term Change
It is just learning. We help the brain learn new more efficient ways of thinking the same way you learn every other skill — through feedback and practice. What is new in neurofeedback is that it is guided by a form of feedback that was previously not available – instantaneous information about how your brain is working in real time.
During a normal 30 minute training session, the brainwave activity is continuously compared to optimal levels. If the brainwaves go out of the optimal range, the system generates a feedback signal in the form of changes in the audio and visual inputs.
In 20 neurofeedback sessions, with feedback every half second, the brain experiences 72,000 chances to learn. That’s a lot of repetition and practice. Brain science has shown that repetitive exercise of brain networks helps reshape the brain, allowing it to be more efficient.
What`s more, the new neural pathways created by this repetitive feedback remain long after the last training session has been completed. Just like learning to ride a bike- “You never forget!”

‘With neurofeedback the child is exercising the nerve pathways that control attention and mental processing. As these neural pathways are exercised, children develop a sense of what concentration feels like, and they get excited about it. After practicing these exercises over a period of time, the pathways involved in attention and learning seem to work more efficiently. This enhanced brain activity becomes a natural part of the child’s functioning.’ — William Sears, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine and practicing pediatrician for more than three decades.
There is much research that shows that depression is neurological, not psychological. Certain brain patterns are frequently linked to depression. Therefore, training the brain through neurofeedback has a powerful ability to improve depression symptoms by regulating brainwaves.
How does neurofeedback training work?
Neurofeedback therapy works by teaching the brain to build healthy, new neural connections, decreasing the asymmetry of brain wave distribution, bringing it more into balance.
Most case of depression can be related to imbalances in the Alpha-Beta distribution in the brain itself. As a result, training the brain with neurofeedback can produce significant improvement by reducing these imbalances.
Neurotherapy begins by observing and analyzing your brainwaves with a Brain Map or qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram). With this data, we create a personal training protocol designed to re-train your brain to help restore it to a healthier, more balanced function.
The Improvements Are Long-Term
The new neural connections developed during the training remain long after your last session in our office. This results in long term relief from depression, because the imbalance that caused it is gone. These new, healthier pathways grow stronger with use – just like any other learned skill that gets better with practice.
Recent research showed that patients receiving neurofeedback showed “significant improvement” in their symptoms.
Attention Training
A clear and focused mind is crucial to learning and life activities. Neurofeedback can help you learn to focus and concentrate at will. People with ADHD have specific brainwave imbalances in the brain areas that deal with controlling impulses and focusing attention.
Being able to pay attention means better organization and accuracy, fewer distractions, improving social skills by being able to listen attentively to others, and mastering new tasks and material more rapidly.
Neurofeedback Can Help
Think of your brain as a sophisticated computer. When the operating system is optimal, it runs smoothly and efficiently. Your brainwaves operate in much the same way, working together to keep your mind and body in sync and running harmoniously. If any brainwaves are off, it can impact your entire system negatively.
Many common conditions like ADD, ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks and depression can occur when brainwaves are running too fast or too slow. Neurofeedback can teach the brain to regulate its brainwaves properly which can result in improved focus, concentration, and behavior.
How does neurofeedback improve brain function?
Neurofeedback monitors brainwaves on the surface of your head with small sensors placed on the scalp. The actual protocol used in training is designed based on a brain map, performed in our office.
During a normal session, the computer will monitor your brainwaves for any that are out of the normal range. When it finds one, the system triggers a response that changes the video and audio output. This “feedback” is enough to get your brain’s attention and help your brain focus more.
These corrections happen many times during a typical 30 minute training session. This learning process creates new, more efficient neural pathways over time. Soon, your brain learns to maintain these more efficient pathways on it`s own. The result – no more ADD or ADHD symptoms!
