NEUROFEEDBACK THERAPY - What to Expect
Your First Evaluation
In your first neurofeedback therapy session your practitioner will ask you 90 questions to come up with an individualized protocol tailored for you. In subsequent sessions you will be asked about six questions to fine tune your protocols and to track your progress. The Neurofeedback Set Up Your provider will then put sensors on your ear and scalp. It doesn’t hurt and nothing goes into your brain! The sensors only pick up the electrical activity coming from your brainwaves. You may have 1-3 sensor placement changes throughout your sessions for a total of 25-30 minutes of feedback. During Your Neurofeedback Session Depending on your protocols you may either receive feedback with your eyes closed (auditory only) or with your eyes open (auditory and visual). When the eyes are closed, alpha rises (since the brain is idle) allowing one to go into deeper states. Many people find alpha theta very relaxing. With eyes open neurofeedback training you watch the fractals morphing on the screen. You can also be mindful of the green and red graphs. BrainPaint will let you know when you are “in the zone” – the perfect state of relaxed attentiveness with your awareness in the present moment. Or, what we call “What is”. Every 2 minutes BrainPaint will give you additional feedback as well. |
