Neurofeedback Therapy Sessions: What to Expect During Your Treatment
The Journey Begins: Understanding Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback therapy, a cornerstone of regenerative medicine, harnesses the brain's plasticity to improve its function. This non-invasive technique uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach self-regulation of brain functions. At Eastside Family Health Center, we're excited to offer this innovative therapy, promising a tailored approach to enhancing your cognitive and emotional well-being.
Preparing for Your First Session
Your journey with Neurofeedback begins with a thorough assessment. Our specialists conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram) to map your brain's electrical activity. This initial step ensures that your Neurofeedback therapy is precisely tailored to your unique brain patterns.
During the Neurofeedback Session
- Setting the Stage
Each Neurofeedback session is conducted in a comfortable setting, designed to put you at ease. You'll be seated and fitted with a lightweight headset equipped with sensors. These sensors are non-invasive and simply read your brain's electrical signals.
- Real-Time Feedback
As the session begins, you'll watch a screen displaying images or play a simple video game. The images or game will respond to your brain's activity, providing instant feedback. This process encourages your brain to adjust its own patterns towards more optimal functioning.
- The Role of the Practitioner
Throughout the session, a trained Neurofeedback practitioner will monitor your brain activity and the feedback loop, making adjustments as needed. This personalized attention ensures that the therapy is effective and aligned with your treatment goals.
What to Expect After the Session
- Immediate Sensations
Post-session, you might feel a sense of mental clarity or relaxation. It's common for patients to notice subtle shifts in their emotional or cognitive state even after the first few sessions.
- Long-term Improvements
Over time, with regular sessions, patients often report significant improvements in areas such as focus, anxiety reduction, mood stabilization, and sleep quality. The number of sessions needed can vary depending on individual goals and the specific issues being addressed.
Ongoing Support and Assessment
At Eastside Family Health Center, your progress is continually monitored. Regular assessments help track the improvements in your brain function, allowing for adjustments in your therapy plan. This ensures that your Neurofeedback sessions remain aligned with your evolving health journey.
