Adverse life experiences can be so overwhelming that they can re-tune our nervous system and make us more prone to going into states of threat rather than states of safety.

Adverse life experiences can be so overwhelming that they can re-tune our nervous system and make us more prone to going into states of threat rather than states of safety. Staying in a state of anxiety means we are in a physiological state of threat and defence. This sets the stage for the formation of a long list of debilitating symptoms that affect our everyday functioning. This might look like:
-Low energy levels
-Feelings of anxiety or depression
-Trouble sleeping
-Chronic pain or migraines
And many more...
Neurofeedback helps the brain to self-regulate and communicate cues of safety to our bodies, which calms down our physiological state. The nervous system becomes more flexible and is able to respond accordingly to the changing conditions/environment. We are no longer stuck in the state of fight, flight, freeze or shutdown.

Neurofeedback helps the brain to self-regulate and communicate cues of safety to our bodies, which calms down our physiological state. The nervous system becomes more flexible and is able to respond accordingly to the changing conditions/environment. We are no longer stuck in the state of fight, flight, freeze or shutdown.
Neurofeedback can also help with lots of other symptoms of dysregulation of the nervous system, e.g., trouble expressing anger (not at all or too much); trouble focusing; feeling numb or disconnected from your body and emotions; intrusive, obsessive thoughts or irrational fears.
If any of this sounds familiar, we can help you.
