Charlotte (not her real name) felt limited by her fear of driving. It prevented her from engaging in many activities and going places that were desirable. Visiting family members who lived at a distance was always difficult for her, and she would often forego the drive, causing her to miss out on family events. As a passenger she also struggled with the stress of riding in the car. Other therapies did not adequately remediate her problem.
Roberta (not her real name) considered neurofeedback because of depression, anxiety and panic attacks that interfered considerably with her life. For many years, despite all the doctors’ attempts to help, medication was not proving to be the answer, and her struggle was getting no better. At her first appointment she appeared sad and with the help of her husband, she communicated how difficult life has been. Because she was unable to stay on task and was easily overwhelmed, she felt she was unable to work. Her depression made driving impossible, and she was very dependent on her husband for most household chores.

Her parents expressed concern because she seemed to lack purpose, initiative, motivation and real goals for all things academic despite her ability.
