Neurofeedback:
A Breakthrough Adjunct to Psychotherapy
Presented by
Susan Smiley, MEd
Neurofeedback, or EEG biofeedback, has been gaining in popularity since Dr. Bessel van der Kolk started crediting it with being a vital tool in resolving effects of developmental trauma. Neurofeedback trains the brain in self-regulation by providing the brain direct awareness of its’ own brain wave activity. The holistic nature of the training is an effective adjunct to psychotherapy and other interventions that may comprise a treatment plan. How does neurofeedback work? How does it differ from other modalities such as EMDR and Brainspotting? When and why would a therapist refer a patient to neurofeedback? And what conditions does it treat most effectively? Susan will answer these questions and present compelling research currently leading this exciting, emerging field.
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Gain an introductory understanding about the science of neurofeedback.
- Learn why neurofeedback can be an effective adjunct to psychotherapy.
