What Results Can I Expect With Neurofeedback Training?

There is no standard answer to these questions because everyone’s central nervous system is unique. While we cannot predict what your brain will do with the information it receives from the neurofeedback therapy training, we can offer a few guidelines.

Clients describe after a neurofeedback session feeling clearer, calmer, lighter or brighter for a few hours after the session – a feeling that typically will last through the week, from one session to the next (weekly sessions being the most common). Eventually, this new-centred way of becoming their “new normal”. Only if they get thrown off by a negative event  - a bad day at work, chemicals, a knock on the head - might they drop into the way they felt before. But generally, they will not dip as deeply into emotional discomfort and will more than likely bounce back from challenging situations much more quickly and easily. Here's one of our client's feedback.

“The process is deceptively simple — being hooked up to a neurofeedback device and sitting quietly. Afterwards, there’s a subtle but powerful shift in feeling — I feel more present, and relaxed, and have greater well-being. It’s been very effective in working with my anxiety.”

NeurOptimal® Reviews - How Effective is Neurofeedback?

Here’s a recent review from one of our rental clients:

My husband and I are experiencing wonderful, unexpected progress. I'm also reading a book called, “The Body Keeps the Score” about trauma, ADD and PTSD and ways to heal. Science made fascinating! Chapter 19, "Applied Neuroscience," is all about neurofeedback and the amazing way the brain can heal its electrical pathways and grow new ones through Neurofeedback. This gives me so much hope.

I rented a Neurofeedback machine for 3 months and have been very pleased with the results. I feel calmer and more focused. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity. Sara and Kate were wonderful and responsive. Thank you very much.

The sessions are going well. Thank you for the reminder. I'm noticing some changes in my focus and anxiety and in my son's response as well, which is great. We will definitely make sure we do the recommended minimum. I have been training nightly during the week since it seems to work with my schedule. I want to mention that my dreams have been very vivid lately as well.

Training with The NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback System

Are There Any Side Effects?

No, training with the dynamical NeurOptimal® neurofeedback system does not create side effects. It's 100% non-invasive brain training. The system purely gives feedback to the brain about it's moment-to-moment brain wave activity and it will start to correct the ones that are maladaptive. Learn more about the system we use and a comparison chart of other neurofeedback systems.

Can I Train Neurofeedback When I’m Pregnant?

Yes, absolutely. One important aspect to know about true neurofeedback devices such as NeurOptimal is that nothing is added to your system and therefore it's 100% safe. To learn how it works, and what sets NeurOptimal apart from other neurofeedback devices, see this page. Also, our New York trainer, Heather, had neurofeedback while pregnant.
