Keep your Central Nervous System (CNS) separate from the dys-regulation around you — whether it’s an anxious aunt or a parent who knows how to say just the right thing to trigger you, remind yourself that your CNS/brain is entitled to stay regulated and calm. It’s yours and you can protect it.
easy stress management techniques
-
Take space — a great way to help your CNS stay separate from others' is to get up and move. Go to the bathroom, take a short walk, volunteer to do the dishes! When your CNS experiences room to breath, it willcalm down.
-
Stay in touch with your body — we get angry, fearful or worry when we lose track of our felt experience then get triggered and believe the triggered feelings are meaningful about the here-and-now (they’re not; they’re old). Breathing deeply is a good way to stay in touch with feelings and help calm us. Cold compress on the back of the neck is good calming tool.
-
Focus on the people you enjoy — our brains want to focus on the people whom it considers dangerous or that need to be 'monitored' This habit will just lead to the same old bad feelings. Encourage yourself to focus on relating with the people who are open, cheerful, or kind. That may mean you’re on the floor playing with the kids for an hour! The other option is to focus on mutually enjoyable subjects and get up and excuse yourself when difficult topics are brought up.

Come in for a tune-up neurofeedback session or rent a neurofeedback for home use — neurofeedback training is a great antidote to the stressors. Neurofeedback helps your central nervous system stay open, calm and out of those fight/flight/freeze feelings: anger, worry, and hopelessness.

relieve stress Levels naturally & Boost Your Self-Esteem with NeurOptimal Neurofeedback Training!
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback trains the brain to function optimally by using present-moment information rather than habituated, often maladaptive, response patterns. During training the brain uses visual and auditory information offered by NeurOptimal to re-organize itself and release old patterns of “stuckness.” The result is effortless transformation. Clients train for a variety of reasons: peak performance, emotional issues, learning or focus problems, and personal/spiritual growth. The benefits of neurofeedback are feeling calmer, less hypervigilant and nervous, feeling more at ease, increase in motivation and ability to accomplish tasks.

Neurofeedback at Home - How to Start With NeurOptimal® Brain Training
Is it possible to do neurofeedback at home?
Yes. The latest generation called Dynamical neurofeedback, which is fully automated and uses real-time data to provide feedback, does not require setting protocols and, therefore, is appropriate for home use. It is designed to be used by clinicians and directly by consumers. Currently the only Dynamical system is NeurOptimal®.
Is every neurofeedback session at home the same?
NeurOptimal® neurofeedback, was designed with a unique technology called AutoNav. AutoNav allows for each session to be uniquely designed to give feedback to the client based on the dysfunction shown in the EEG output of the brain in real-time. AutoNav does not require the user to set any protocols; the system software calculates when to give feedback so running successful sessions every time at home or in an office is possible.
Is neurofeedback at home efficient?
As we learned during the COVID pandemic, appointments we can do from home are more efficient, and those include neurofeedback sessions. Neurofeedback at home is not efficient, though, if we don’t make the time to run sessions! Setting a schedule like you would if you had an office appointment is a good strategy. Home neurofeedback is also not efficient if you are training on an inferior product that is not designed to create the specific long-term improvements.
Brain training in general is most successful when the gains from neurofeedback are supported by lifestyle changes that are good for brain health. Often the home guidance includes discussing changes to diet, sleep and exercise that can augment the training. A skilled neurofeedback trainer will wait until there are some gains from the neurofeedback, such as greater calm and ability to organize and focus, before discussing tweaks to lifestyle.
How can I get started with neurofeedback?
The Neurofeedback Home Kit provides the exact same effective neurofeedback training as in our office sessions. The system is fully automatic and easy to use. Our team of experienced neurofeedback trainer coaches is standing by to help if extra help is needed.
