Conditions Responding Positively to Neurofeedback Training

· Autoimmune Disorders - Reducing stress on the central nervous system by making if function more efficiently appears to help strengthen the body's autoimmune functions.

· Cognitive Deficits from chemotherapy/radiation - recent case studies have shown that neurofeedback helps prevent the effects of chemotherapy and radiation on cognitive functions. This process involved 24, 30-minute sessions 2-3x/week.

· Multiple Chemical Sensitivities - Clients with MCS have seen symptom improvement through the improved efficiency of their central nervous system from Neurofeedback training. Frequency and intensity of sessions can only be assessed on a case by case basis.

· Pelvic Pain Disorder- the symptoms of PPD have shown improvement with a combination of body-centered psychotherapy and EEG biofeedback.

· Sleep Disorders - Sleep disorders respond very well to Neurofeedback training and have resulted in the reduction and elimination of the need for medications. Periodic Leg Movement Disorder (PLMD) which is also known as Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) has responded very positively to photic stimulation-driven EEG biofeedback treatment. Symptoms have been known to remit after a single session.

· Stress-related Disorders - Stress comes from many sources but ultimately it is the nervous system that is the function that absorbs the physiological brunt of stress' effects on the bodymind system. Our approach to reducing stress combines the psychological and physiological by training clients to successfully control their responses to external and internal experience. Psychotherapy focused on learning from the body and neurofeedback provide a powerful combination of tools to reduce stress and increase joy in living.

· Urinary/Fecal Incontinence - Biofeedback training for incontinence is approved by Medicare as a treatment of choice. Many clients can achieve continence or reduce urgency related problems in 1-2 sessions.

· Attachment Disorder is a condition in which individuals have difficulty forming loving, lasting intimate relationships. Attachment disorders vary in severity, but the term is usually reserved for individuals who show a nearly complete lack of ability to be genuinely affectionate with others. They typically fail to develop a conscience and do not learn to trust. Neurofeedback and body-centered psychotherapeutic treatment can help these individuals deeply connect to themselves and thereby increase the chance of authentically relating to others.
