Move Beyond PTSD — Regain Ease With Neurofeedback

Old wounds do not have to last forever.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop as a result of stressful or traumatic events. Some events may be so disturbing to the psyche that the brain reorganizes itself in response to this overly intense stimuli. Individuals with PTSD may experience a wide array of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, fear, guilt, shame, flashbacks, and nightmares. The emotional toll impacts daily lives, careers and relationships. As such, most people who suffer from PTSD are desperate to find an effective way to overcome their symptoms so they can get back to living a normal life. Unfortunately, many sufferers experience only limited benefit from conventional therapies. PTSD is a disorder based in the brain. With PTSD, a severe stress response is triggered, even in the absence of present danger. Neurofeedback teaches the brain to turn off this stress response.

Overcome PTSD Naturally With Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback trains the brain to produce a calm state and regulate stress responses.

The PTSD Effect

Research shows that the traumatic stress experienced by those suffering from PTSD has a lasting change on the brain. It affects the amygdala involved in emotional memory, the hippocampus responsible for long-term memory, and prefrontal cortex which modulates emotion. Changes in each of these centers negatively impact brainwave function. Conventional treatment options include talk therapy and medication but these have limitations. Talk therapy can take a very long time to resolve the trauma and some sufferers may not even remember past events that have most effected them. Many times medication comes with unwanted side effects and doesn’t restor healthy brain function.

Treating PTSD with Neurofeedback

The specific areas of the brain affected by PTSD can be targeted and retrained to produce healthier patterns. This retraining creates a relaxation in the brain and teaches it new ways to handle stress. As brainwaves are rebalanced and improved, gains in functionality lead to better mood, sleep, cognitive function, and adaptability in daily life. Successful outcomes from neurofeedback training typically enable someone with PTSD to significantly reduce or wean off of medications as their brain learns how to maintain a calm state of mind on its own.
