Can Neurofeedback help with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Most definitely. Traditional counselling methods are often not effective for sufferers of PTSD, at least not initially. Sufferers are often too anxious and hypervigilant to be able to engage in the counselling process. Also, recollection of traumatic events is often traumatising and so the client will avoid this at all costs. Neurofeedback (and other biofeedback techniques) can help the client become calmer, without any need to bring up traumatic material. Once the client’s nervous system is calmer, trauma resolution work can proceed more quickly and effectively.
