Anxiety can affect more than how you feel emotionally. It can influence sleep, concentration, energy and your ability to relax and enjoy everyday life.

Sometimes the mind seems to stay busy even when there is no obvious reason for it. Thoughts may continue to race, your body may feel tense, or you may find it difficult to truly switch off.

Understanding anxiety

Anxiety is a normal human response to stress and uncertainty. For some people, however, anxious feelings can become persistent and begin to interfere with everyday life.

You may experience:

• Racing or repetitive thoughts
• Feeling restless or on edge
• Difficulty relaxing
• Trouble concentrating
• Sleep difficulties
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Physical tension
• 
  

Your experience is unique to you, and there is no single explanation or solution that applies to everyone.

How neurofeedback works with your individual brain patterns

Brain Awakening sessions provide feedback based on your brain's electrical activity.

During a session, sensors detect brainwave activity while the system provides auditory feedback. The process is designed to give your brain information about its own activity.  Rather than telling your brain what it should do, the process allows your brain to respond to its own patterns.

An individualized starting point

Your Brain Evaluation provides a visual snapshot of your individual brain patterns and establishes a starting point.

From there, sessions provide an opportunity to continue working with those patterns and observe how you respond over time.

We don't assume that everyone's brain will respond in exactly the same way. Every person has a unique brain, which is why your experience is your own.
