I experienced long term childhood trauma (emotional abuse) leading to high levels of cognitive dissonance and CPTSD. Over many years I have tried many ways to help heal the trauma but nothing seemed to work – I sense that no matter how good the treatment was if my brain was not able to take it in, it was only ever going to have minimal effect.
What Neurofeedback has done for me is to quieten my brain – not surprisingly it seems it was in survival mode most of the time fearful of allowing in new information. Neurofeedback demonstrated that high-beta was my predominant brain wave (survival mode brain wave). With daily trainings guided by Jonathan I was able to bring my high beta down to a level where I was able to allow new ideas in and the other trauma specific therapies I am working with seem to be working on a much deeper level. I am also a lot less stressed in general – I seem to be able to deal with stressful situations much more easily.
Doing the trainings at home was not only convenient it was very easy, I just followed what Jonathan instructed me to do, I did not need to know anything special to do the trainings – Jonathan carefully guided and supported me at every step at any time I need it together with scheduled weekly Skype meetings. The great benefit of doing training at home is you can do training every day and you also get to watch movies… I had the excuse to watch movies I might have otherwise have missed out on!
