“Neurofeedback therapy is not a quick fix,” explains John David King, a neurofeedback technician at Brighter Dawn. “Think of it as physical therapy for your brain. It takes dedication and commitment to see results, but you will see results.”

Neurofeedback therapy is a noninvasive form of biofeedback that provides real-time information about brainwave activity. The mind-body technique is designed to help individuals become more aware of normally automatic processes—such as heart rate, muscle activity and brain patterns—so they may learn to influence them.

Research shows that neurofeedback can help people recognize how their brains respond in different situations. With practice, individuals may shift into more beneficial states, like calmness or focus, while moving away from less desirable ones, such as stress or irritability.
