QEEG-Guided Treatment
What does a QEEG-Guided Treatment session look like?
Using the map and analysis that we obtained during the assessment, we design a course of action to produce changes in the brain’s behavior. A session may contain some entrainment to push the brain out of its stuck state and toward healthier function. This is done with NeuroStim: transcranial alternating current, pulsed electromagnetic field energy, or photobiomodulation, depending on what the brain needs. NeuroStim is never painful or invasive. Often, the client notices nothing, even when the brain is changing.
Sometimes these “NeuroStim” protocols are all the brain needs to “get the idea” of how to function with less stress. In a 50-minute session, we will entrain and, when needed, use neurofeedback with one to 19 channels of feedback to teach the brain to be less stressed. There is relaxing music, conversation if desired, and movies to reward the brain for changing.
Who would benefit most from QEEG-Guided Treatment?
Almost anyone who can sit still will benefit from this treatment approach. These sessions are tailored to address the issues that most concern the client. Unlike the LENS, where the assumption is that the brain knows what it needs to change, the QEEG relies on the latest developments in neuroscience to direct the brain toward health.
Benefits of QEEG-Guided Treatment
With QEEG-guided treatment, the client can be confident that their uniqueness is recognized and valued. The client is an active participant in deciding what issues the treatment focuses on. Repeating the QEEG is a powerful method of showing the client their progress away from the stressful issues.
