Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can result from prolonged exposure to various traumatic events, such as military combat, natural disasters, or serious accidents, and it may cause symptoms like intrusive flashbacks, heightened hypervigilance, persistent emotional numbness, or extreme stress responses to triggers. This condition significantly affects how the brain processes fundamental aspects of life, including safety, memory retention, and emotional regulation.

How Neurofeedback Can Help

Neurofeedback assists in calming the overactive stress response systems often seen in PTSD. It helps the brain re-establish safer, more regulated patterns of activity, reducing the emotional reactivity and mental fatigue associated with trauma.

Benefits of Neurofeedback for PTSD

• Reduced hyperarousal and reactivity

• Improved emotional regulation

• Fewer intrusive thoughts or flashbacks

• Better sleep and relaxation

• Greater sense of safety and control

What to Expect During Sessions

Training sessions use real-time brain feedback to gently retrain patterns tied to stress responses. As the brain develops better regulation, clients often report feeling more at ease and better able to cope with daily challenges.
