Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback in which a reward signal is provided to the brain. This signal, over time, causes the brain (in most cases) to incrementally and gradually reorganize brainwaves into a healthier and more functional brainwave pattern. How does that work? What we believe is that brains tend to like novelty. So when the brain realizes that it gets a reward tone every time there is a movement in a healthier direction, it tends to absorb that reward tone and start moving in that direction. This process, also called operant conditioning, is a slow, gradual process that happens over time, and every brain varies in its response to some degree. Let's say we have a brainwave that we want to bring down because it's too strong, which is often the case in kids and adults with ADD, anxiety, panic, OCD, and similar disorders. In this case, neurofeedback will provide a reward tone every time this wave dips. Over time, because it is an operant conditioning model, the b...
Most of us go through our daily lives not recognizing the power of focus. If we're listening to the news, and something catches us, we focus on it. If we're standing in line and there's a grumpy patron in front of us, we tend to focus on them. If traffic is bad going to work, this tends to hold our focus for the entire commute. We focus there if Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok catches our eye. If our boss is in a bad mood, we complain to our co-workers and keep focusing on it. If our children are upset, we often focus on their upsets. When our children complain in the face of a blessed world full of fantastic opportunities, we focus on it. We engage what they have chosen to focus on because we don't realize we are teaching them to filter their lives. If chronic, this becomes the habitual filter through which they interpret the world. Our children will, without intervention, be vastly compromised in managing thei...

We often see clients who've tried medications, they've been in therapy, they've tried all sorts of things out of the box, in the box, and nothing seems to work. And so they come to us looking for a solution. When we conduct an evaluation of their brain using something called acute EEG or quantitative EEG. We get to see what their brain looks like. And there are one of two consistent patterns that we see. Both involve dysregulation that is correctabl...
