12. Neurofeedback Therapy
11/29/21
Neurofeedback Therapy has been a great experience. It requires a time commitment on a regular basis. The benefits have been 100% worth the time.
This therapy is administered with the eVOX brain mapping system with limited offering at Brain Intercept in Aberdeen SD.
The first few weeks were a little tough. Like any workout you experience growing pains along the way to strength. The brain is no different. As I was learning how to "grow the green circle" I would strain my neck and eyes. This led to headaches and fatigue. A few sessions in, it became clear straining was not the way so I moved to relaxation. Relax the mind, jaw, neck, relax the breathing this was more effective. My scores were in the 90s for those first few weeks.
By session 10 we had worked up to 3 minute runs and I had the hang of things. My scores jumped significantly into the 110-120 range. I could be in this coherent state anytime, anywhere just by relaxing my mind.
My anxiety and lack of focus has subsided, my mind has become clear and I was feeling much better. There were no more headaches and the fatigue had passed.
Super excited to see the progress of the last 5 sessions scheduled for Dec. 2021
