Neurofeedback is a potential therapy that can be used to treat trauma. It’s based on neuroscience. Neurofeedback refers to a type of biofeedback that focuses on brain waves. This involves using sensors to measure brain activity. The data is displayed to the user in real time. In order to achieve a healthier and more balanced brain, the individual will be trained in self-regulation.
Neurofeedback is known to be effective at reducing trauma symptoms, such as flashbacks, anxiety and depression. Neurofeedback is believed to help individuals regulate their autonomic nervous systems, which can be dysregulated in trauma victims. People may feel more able to cope with stress and manage their emotions if they can regulate their autonomic nervous systems.
