- Social Anxiety
- Generalized Anxiety
- OCD – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Panic Attacks
- Phobias
All of these, and other forms of anxiety are miserable to have. If you have or have had any of them, you know that all too well. People who are both depressed and anxious are statistically at greater risk of suicide than people who are just depressed – that’s how difficult anxiety can be.
It is not at all a fun way to experience life. I encourage you to not just put up with it. Or if you’ve tried things that haven’t helped, don’t give up.
Most commonly, the first two things my neurofeedback clients report are better sleep and less anxiety and reactivity. This often happens as soon as after the first session. Other things may take longer. Results are unique to each individual brain, but it’s rare to not see substantial improvements.
For a sampling of the results reported by my clients, visit the Client Comments page of my website. If you have problems with anxiety, you’re likely to relate to things you read there. That’s also true if there are other things you’d like to see change: Focus and attention problems, depression, “chemo brain,” and others.
If you are considering neurofeedback for anxiety, while you’re thinking about it, you can also try these simple interventions:
- Aerobic exercise, assuming you’re physically able
- Spending time in nature
- Decreasing caffeine intake (slowly)
- Deepening your breathing
