Based on a few recent conversations, I feel like it’s important to note that neurofeedback isn’t all about illness and unwellness. It’s about learning to tune into your own body and allowing it to reset itself in ways that improve your performance and sense of well-being.  It’s about helping people optimize their own functioning in gentle yet powerful ways.

I am not fond of the perspective that people who are struggling in some way are diseased, disordered, or broken. And, in fact, many of the people who come to my office for training are not at all seeking to fix something that’s broken or seems wrong. They often simply have a sense that they could be a better version of themselves—less stressed, more relaxed, more productive, or maybe even more joyful. They want to invest in themselves in meaningful ways.  Those aren’t just hokey words for this type of person; they are goals.

Especially in these crazy and unsettled times, investing in oneself is something to consider. It often makes perfect sense and is the right next step.
