She believed her anti anxiety medication did not help and she wanted to try something different that she hoped would have a better outcome.  During the consultation she was given a trial session of neurofeedback, where she experienced a calmness that was unfamiliar to her.  She agreed to start a treatment plan for a twice weekly session.  Early in her treatment, her self-reports indicated that she began to have more energy and better concentration, and less tension in her neck and back.  As treatment progressed, she was pleasantly surprised when she continued to remain calm despite the stressors around her.   Over time, as Alice held her training longer, her sessions were at less frequent intervals.  Currently, Alice comes every other week for a session.  She continues to maintain a healthy lifestyle without medication for anxiety, and she attributes her newfound peace to neurofeedback.

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback whereby a system of rewards trains positive brainwaves.  Neurofeedback reduces the undesirable brainwaves that are responsible for anxiety as well as other emotional and behavioral problems. These can include depression, head injury, bipolar disorder, concussion, Autism and learning disabilities.  Positive effects of Neurofeedback have been found to be long lasting and without negative side effects.
