Mood & Stress
Due to the nature of the world around us and the mounting pressures we feel, individuals are experiencing chronic states of stress. When our nervous system is stressed, it is constantly firing, leading to exaggerated worry, irritability, nervousness, poor sleep, difficulty concentrating, and exhaustion. ​
Due to this, many people today have a central nervous system (CNS) that is in the “fight, flight or freeze” response, even when there may not be nothing specific going on externally to cause this. Through NeurOptimal® neurofeedback training, the brain learns to calm or de-activate chronic stress responses and over time, the overall level of alertness in the CNS decreases.
A study of 214 clients who rated either moderate or severe symptoms of anxiety on the Beck Anxiety Index (BAI) reported statistically significant decreases in their BAI scores after 8 sessions of NeurOptimal® neurofeedback training.
