Trauma Treatment
Is Neurofeedback therapy effective for trauma recovery?
If you’re dealing with trauma, you’re likely familiar with the emotional turbulence that can affect your everyday life. Whether it’s overwhelming feelings, intrusive memories, or a constant sense of being on edge, trauma can often feel like it’s taking over your present moment. When past events dominate your emotions, moving forward can feel difficult. Neurofeedback therapy offers a powerful, non-invasive way to help regulate the brain’s emotional processing, enabling recovery without the need to relive past traumatic experiences.
How Neurofeedback Helps with Trauma Processing
Neurofeedback helps the brain heal naturally, processing trauma in a balanced way. Unlike traditional therapies, neurofeedback promotes healing without reliving the trauma, regulating emotional responses and fostering a calmer, more stable state of mind.

The science about trauma treatment
A study in 2021, in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found, that neurofeedback helps trauma survivors regulate emotions by balancing key brain areas like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. By optimizing brainwaves, it reduces hyperarousal and supports emotional stability
