After seated and comfortable, the provider will place five EEG electrodes at different areas on your head and neck. These areas will be cleaned and conductive paste will be applied to hold electrodes in position. The electrode’s positions may change throughout treatment and in following treatments.

The initial introduction session will last between 45-60 minutes. Subsequent sessions will last a half hour. There are 6 protocol settings and different sensitivity levels. These will vary depending on individual nervous systems. The hardiness and fragility will be assessed by the provider before the session and evolve after responses are determined.

There may be responses due to temporary reactivity of the nervous system. These can be felt 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Reactivity includes feelings of fatigue, spaciness, anxiousness, headache, or symptom increase. These are normal and will pass. Even though temporarily uncomfortable, these feelings do not persist and will be followed by improvements. Reactivity is demonstrating that good things are happening and positive responses occur as a subset of these reactions.

After the session has ended, the provider will give you an observation sheet to fill out 24-hours after your session. This sheet will be brought to the following session or can be emailed prior to the session. This observation sheet is vital to the neurofeedback process.

The main goal of treatment is sustained stability over time. The goal is to reach a point where treatment is no longer needed. Treatment plans vary from case to case. Typically, you should expect no less than 10 treatments to reach lasting sustainability. In the beginning phases, there can be a need for multiple treatments in a week. The provider will explore treatment plans that fit your situation during the first treatment and consultation.
