It’s a great question, and one that sometimes has people ambivalent about trying neurofeedback. How can it be that good? How can any one thing help with problems ranging from the need to better manage stress, improve sleep management, or simply wanting to feel more happiness – to the desire to lower your golf score?
Here’s why it can be that good. Neurofeedback works directly with the brain.
The brain is the captain of the ship, central to all the ways you experience your life. It’s deeply involved in:
- Emotions, the good ones and the not good ones
- Sensations – what your eyes, ears, nose, taste buds, fingertips., are telling you
- Coordination of the activity of the body (including involuntary actions like breathing and your heart beating)
- Control of behavior (along with the peripheral nervous system, which connects the CNS to your hands, arms, legs, etc., and to your organs)
Neurofeedback is like having a personal trainer for the brain, giving it information that it uses to tune itself up to be at its best.
Since the brain is key to all of the above, that means there is potential positive change in a huge variety of the things you would like to have change. To see more examples of this, please read the Client Comments page of New York Neurofeedback’s website.
