PTSD
Experience freedom from PTSD symptoms.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While we often hear about PTSD associated with military service, many people outside of the military also experience PTSD symptoms. If you experience one or more of the following, common PTSD symptoms, neurofeedback may help you find relief:
- Persistent negative memories or thoughts of the traumatic event
- Negative emotions like anger, guilt, fear, anxiety, or shame
- Sleep irregularities
- Easily startled
- Subject to angry outbursts, irritability, aggressive behavior, rapid heartbeat, sweating, shaking
- Feeling disconnected or numb in your daily life
Neurofeedback can help you feel like yourself again.
PTSD can create unhealthy changes to the neural pathways in the brain. The resulting symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, are the result of these imbalances, caused by the trauma itself. Neurofeedback works to create better neural pathways in the brain, so brainwaves operate in a more balanced state, alleviating the symptoms of PTSD.
What to expect with neurofeedback services.
When you begin working with a neurofeedback professional, the first step is a free initial evaluation to discuss your situation, what you experience, what your goals are, and if neurofeedback is the right fit. If everyone agrees to begin neurofeedback services, the first step is a brain map. This is a painless process of reviewing current brainwave activity so an individualized plan for improvement can be created. After the plan is made, neurofeedback begins! Each session is a relaxing, non-invasive experience and your practitioner can walk you through exactly what to expect as well as how many sessions may be needed to achieve the desired results.
Studies show lasting results for individuals with PTSD.
Neurofeedback began in the 1970s and many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of neurofeedback training. Most recently, a randomized, controlled study showed neurofeedback training was a highly effective approach for adults and children experiencing PTSD. See more research studies.
