Facilitation of spindle-burst sleep by conditioning of electroencephalographic activity while awake.
The causes of sleep difficulties are diverse, ranging from stress, anxiety, burnout, and trauma to habitual loop thinking. In each case, the underlying issue is the brain’s diminished ability to transition into the appropriate state for sleep.
Sleep Restoration
Neurofeedback therapy is an effective tool for restoring natural sleep rhythms. It works by training the brain to enhance control and flexibility, facilitating the central nervous system’s smooth transition from an active to a restful state. This training helps the brain relearn the process of falling asleep naturally and maintaining a healthy sleep cycle.

Some people find that neurofeedback sessions can make them temporarily tired, as is the case with any form of exercise. Others find it energising. It all depends on your baselines and goals.
[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.
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.
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.
I truly believe that the SSP resets the nervous system, and has my son feeling safe rather than being in constant fight or flight.
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 !
