Biofeedback/Counseling

"EBT (EEG biofeedback therapy) should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas. In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy it would be universally accepted and widely used."

What is Biofeedback?

Neurofeedback & Psychotherapy (integration model)

Neurofeedback enhances psychotherapy but psychotherapy also enhances neurofeedback. They are most beautiful together. The integration of neurofeedback and psychotherapy is one of the richest experiences any therapist could hope to have. We have the exceptional privilege of being at the intersection where brain becomes mind (Sebern Fisher).

Neurofeedback & Mental Harmony

• Mental problems are disorders of arousal
• We are always treating disorders of arousal/affect regulation
• Affect regulation is primarily regulation of fear
• Neurofeedback quiets fear

Self-regulation allows for optimal relatedness and performance

• Neurofeedback initial assessment should include compehensive attachment history
• Neurofeedback is the single best tool available for emotional regulation
• Neurofeedback is a central element in the therapy of attachment disorders
• Neurofeedback serves attachment by reducing fear

Identity and Neurofeedback

• States are defined by arousal
• Arousal is dependent on frequencies of the brain
• When you change the frequencies, you change the state
  
• Overtime the traits and over a greater time, the very sense of identity

The Neurofeedback Triad

• Neurofeedback training can be seen as a triadic relationship
• Therapist - Neurofeedback - Client
• Neurofeedback is the the powerful third
• Allows for the reconfiguration of the original mother-infant relationship (attachment)

Neurofeedback Potential Results

• Warming up and calming down
• Less fear
• Increased capacity for empathy
• More spontaneity
• More assertiveness well accepted by others
• More cohesive sense of self

Conclusion:

    Neurofeedback is a positive tool for relationship development
