We post new happenings and what we are reading, learning and discussing regarding neurofeedback, peak performance, and how to make your moment-to-moment existence healthier and happier!
For those seeing a practitioner who need more frequent and long-term access to an eeg neurofeedback machine, I now offer rentals if after seeing you and discussing your case, you qualify. The machines can only be rented through a certified practitioner.
This is only recommended for those in need of long-term treatments, but getting to a practitioner is too costly or distant.
A 2005 study published by The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse highlights the advantages neurofeedback therapy has in treating addiction. Eighty percent of subjects in this study were abstinent one-year post treatment. The study noted that the success of its subjects may lie in neurofeedback therapy’s ability to allow participants to better tolerate stress, anxiety, and anxiety-eliciting situations, which are evident during the initial phases of recovery.
There are two components we desire and contend with at moments when all our years of hard work must come to fruition: intensity and anxiety. One rules you and the other allows you to rule yourself. Anxiety often creates doubt, fear, and a loss of confidence. Intensity, anxiety’s healthier brother, is synonymous with STRENGTH, power, potency, ferocity, and greatness.
The real trick to being a peak performer is to alleviate anxiety, while maintaining the intensity needed to perform at one’s best. The fear most athletes, executives, and even artists have is that if they “relax” too much, they will lose their edge and wind up befriending intensity’s biggest enemy: apathy.
Neurofeedback training generally improves speed and accuracy for the peak performer. It allows the performer to maintain a level of calm relaxation that makes tasks flow with more ease toward completion of a goal or purpose.
