Long-Lasting Positive Impacts
Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback can help you feel better, improve your focus, and enhance your performance in all areas of your day-to-day life. The benefits of Neurofeedback are typically long-lasting and can positively impact your life, both mentally and physically.
If you’re looking to improve your quality of sleep, concentration, self-confidence, or memory, while reducing stress and/or alleviating distressing symptoms, you are likely to benefit from Neurofeedback. While Neurofeedback may be used to address more severe symptoms and diagnosed conditions, everyone can benefit from optimizing their brain’s function.
Neurofeedback Can Ease Sleep-Related Issues/Insomnia
The average person requires 8 hours of sleep per night. Recent studies have shown that 7 out of 10 people are not getting the restorative sleep that they need. Restorative sleep mostly occurs in the deeper stages of sleep and allows the brain and body to restore themselves physically and cognitively. A variety of sleep issues, including insomnia, problems falling asleep, and trouble staying asleep, are by-products of brain overarousal, under-arousal, or brain instability. Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback trains your brain to regulate itself, which in turn enables you to fall asleep faster, sleep longer, and wake up well-rested. Many who have insomnia or trouble falling asleep report dramatic improvements after just a few sessions of Neurofeedback. Sleep is integral to your well-being and is often a contributing factor to physical and mental health issues. Lack of sleep can lead to mood swings, increased anxiety, depression, cognitive impairment (forgetfulness, brain fog), daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and weight gain (i.e., obesity).
Improved Attention, Focus, and Concentration
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a common condition that can significantly impact everyday life. It can make it difficult to focus on tasks and maintain attention for long periods. Neurofeedback safely helps with ADHD by retraining your brainwaves, using no chemicals or medication.
Whether or not you have ADHD, Neurofeedback helps you resist distractions, filter out background noise, and stay focused for longer. It can also improve executive functioning, leading to decreased impulsivity, improved decision making, and mental clarity.
Increased Self-Esteem
Feeling inferior to others or having a negative view of yourself can prevent you achieving optimum levels of success and happiness.
Neurofeedback sessions can help you gain a greater sense of self-worth and improve your overall mental health, by allowing you to overcome negative thoughts more efficiently and succeed at tasks that once felt impossible. As a result, you will be more relaxed and confident in social situations, which will make it easier for you to connect with others.
Reduced Stress Levels
High stress levels can cause anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues that leave you feeling frustrated, worried, and anxious. Neurofeedback sessions can help reduce stress levels and improve responses in people with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other psychiatric conditions where stress is a factor.
EEG Biofeedback gives visual and audio feedback to provide an experience to the brain of enhanced function, allowing the mind to improve its regulation of thoughts. This facilitates improved responses when stressful situations arise. A regulated brain makes it easier to deal with daily stresses, so you feel less anxious and stressed about life in general.
Improved Mood and Mental Clarity
Neurofeedback sessions can improve your mood by making it easier for your brain to recognize negative thoughts or feelings and let them go, rather than letting them linger. As a result, your brain will be able to function more clearly, allowing you to focus on the things that matter most, without being distracted by negative thoughts.
Improved Self-Confidence
Neurofeedback is not only helpful when it comes to mental health issues like ADHD and anxiety; it can also help improve self-confidence in general. With high levels of self-confidence, everything seems more manageable; self-doubt and worry about what others think of you make things more difficult. By teaching your brain to self-regulate and move out of states that support patterns of negative thinking, hindering progress and causing stress and anxiety, neurofeedback helps improve self-confidence, allowing you to feel more comfortable with yourself in many aspects of your life.
Improved Cognitive Function
Improving memory and cognitive function through Neurofeedback brain training can help with various cognitive issues, including ADHD, stroke recovery, and learning disabilities. Studies on the effectiveness of Neurofeedback for cognitive improvement in people with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, concussions, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other neurological disorders have demonstrated overall positive results, with findings of improved memory in patients who received Neurofeedback brain training compared to those receiving traditional care alone.
