Many Are Choosing to Prioritize Mental Health As Their Top 2022
Priority Using Neurofeedback To Improve Brain Function!
If you are struggling with holiday stress that has turned into episodes of depression and/or anxiety, you are not alone. Many studies have shown that anxiety and depression may peak around the holidays and this may signify previous brainwave imbalances, which can easily be corrected by retraining the brain. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that targets imbalances in the brain by retraining it over time.
Depression:
Did you know that depression is frequently related to brainwave imbalances? In fact, there is a specific pattern that relates to depression! These imbalances effect mood and can create negative thought patterns. An imbalance in certain brainwaves can cause you to become depressed more easily, feel hopeless, withdraw from people, and be more anxious. These imbalances can also be associated with a lower sex drive!
Anxiety and Panic Attacks:
Anxiety symptoms can also be traced to brainwave imbalances. Studies have shown that anxiety and panic attacks can be experienced when your brain wave pattern is going too fast- which represents an imbalance in the way the brain is functioning. Neurofeedback therapy can not only bring relief to symptoms, but also address and modify underlying imbalances in the brain, promoting better brainwave forms that will in turn help alleviate symptoms and bring on a natural state of feeling more balanced and happier.
Chronic Stress:
The long-term effects of chronic stress can disrupt nearly every system in your body. It can suppress your immune system, upset your digestive and reproductive systems, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, speed up the aging process, and cripple your way of life. The impact of stress just doesn’t ‘go away,’ but may be cumulative over time and ultimately create worsening anxiety, depression, inability to focus, etc. This is why it has never been more pertinent to address the root of the issue and to achieve long-lasting results through Neurofeedback.
Recent Neurofeedback Study
Resilient Retreat, in Sarasota, Florida, asked The Brain Wave Center to collaborate in a study of first responders and those that have undergone abuse or emotional trauma. The study looked at numerous modalities to decrease stress and depression. The outcomes were significant. After a single round of Neurofeedback training, there was a decrease in depression by 52.79 % and a decrease in PTSD by 38.39%. There were also remarkable improvements in emotional responses such as feelings of self-worth and importance, emotional awareness and clarity, and an increased sense that participants mattered to others.
How Does Neurofeedback Eliminate These Symptoms?
At The Brain Wave Center, we begin with a Brain Map to assess your brainwave patterns. We observe how they present in your brain and how your brain wave imbalances relate to your feelings of depression and/or anxiety.
Then, you will embark on a neurofeedback journey of retraining your brain. The therapy is both enjoyable and powerful. Your brain wave patterns are monitored to determine optimal function, and these are rewarded while you are watching a video of your choice. Over time, this retrains the brainwaves to stop staying in the imbalanced states and start moving towards more balanced states and healthy regulation.
Your brain responds to this treatment by creating new, healthier neural connections and resetting the old pathways. Over time, the use of neurofeedback can help your brain to stay in these balanced states, allowing you to think calmer, feel more positive, regulate your emotions, deal with stress, and in turn alleviate depression and anxiety symptoms.
Begin this New Year by clearing outdated brainwave patterns and training your brain back to health! You can reset your brain for a lifetime of happiness in 2022 and beyond!
