Neurofeedback and Biofeedback
Neurofeedback and biofeedback are excellent low impact but high return treatment options. I have found that biofeedback helps people learn how to consciously interact with their fight or flight response in a very concrete and simple way. Once you learn how to communicate with your heart, it's easier to remain calm in situations that used to be problematic. These patients learn how to help me raise and lower their medication doses to decrease side effects and make medications work better. The HeartMath Institute offers a program that uses a heart monitor and breathing pacer to help you learn how to control parts of your nervous system that maybe were tough to regulate.
Neurofeedback is such an exciting technology and treatment method! Neurofeedback can be an effective treatment for ADHD, and is popular with parents who would like their children treated without stimulant medications.
