Anybody CURRENTLY doing Neurofeedback aka EEG Biofeedback?
I had my first session last week. Lets just say I was a HUGE skeptic! Uhm, what do you mean that playing video games WITH MY MIND is going to help heal my PTSD?!?! I left my therapists office and felt so "zen"...Yes, "zen" is the only word I have for it, as I don't ever recall feeling this calm. I drove the whole way home in silence, just enjoying the quietness of my mind. For the first time in YEARS I was able to fall asleep without drugging myself up first. Unfortunately the effects wore off the next day. I suppose this was to be expected as I had a very short session on a low frequency. My therapist told me that the sessions could increase in length and the frequency could be increased, but it will take a few sessions to find the best settings for me personally.
The other plus is that my neurotherapist also specializes in attachment disorders. After many frustrating years of getting nowhere with therapy, I realized that I needed someone to specifically work with me on my trust and abandonment issues, as I was getting absolutely nowhere with the CPTSD therapists that I had been seeing.
