Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a technique where you learn to manage certain bodily functions, like your heart rate, breathing, and muscle reactions.

If appropriate, we may recommend biofeedback to support your neurofeedback therapy sessions.

We will be able to recommend to a suitable therapist, or alternatively, there are a number of low price, high quality portable biofeedback devices on the market.

Our suggestions are:

HRV BIOFEEDBACK
Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback works with the variation between heart beats. Bringing the heart variability and breath rythms into alignment helps calm the emotional system. For HRV (Heart Rate Variability) biofeedback, we recommend Emwave2.

GSR BIOFEEDBACK
Your skin conductance is linked to your state of relaxation or stress. Through learning to control your skin conductance, you learn to control your stress levels (what is biofeedback). For Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) biofeedback, we recommend the PIP.

SKIN TEMPERATURE BIOFEEDBACK
The skin’s surface temperature changes according to blood circulation. During exertion or stress, the blood flow is restricted and the temperature falls; in a relaxed state, the skin temperature rises.

This makes temperature biofeedback useful for stress management, though its most common use is to interrupt the onset of migraine headaches. For skin temperature biofeedback, we recommend the Mindfield eSense

stories

[After the Safe and Sound Protocol], I feel like I could finally connect with myself, recognize and accept who I actually am, and all of a sudden know what my needs are.

Client, 30, who presented with hypersensitivity and anxiety

So much of what people are taught about therapy reinforces that they have to think it out and work it out in their minds. Kids and adults alike over-intellectualize therapy. The SSP is a lovely invitation into your body.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Registered Nurse (RN)

I am extremely thankful for the SSP and the reduction in depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts it has given me. I am able to enjoy life again and experience calmness. I have motivation to change my lifestyle, and I’m even optimistic about the future.

Client, 22, with intrusive thoughts, generalized anxiety, and dissociation

I truly believe that the SSP resets the nervous system, and has my son feeling safe rather than being in constant fight or flight.

Parent (and occupational therapist) of son with autism

I had two strokes before I came here and my memory, concentration, and my focus and attention span were bad.  I couldn’t remember much at all.  After a few sessions I started to notice a difference in the way I was at home.  After neurofeedback I’m doing much better, I am driving and I wouldn’t drive before. I wouldn’t communicate much and now I get out and go to a couple different groups and go into crowds.  I am a teacher and now I can go back to work.

This is just a big thank you! What a remarkable treatment you offer, I have to say that the difference it has made to me is enormous. I genuinely feel much more at ease in myself and all the tension is going in my head and body. Not to mention the increase in my focus both short term and long term. I actually feel like I could make long term plans and stick to them !
