I start neurofeedback therapy next Wednesday, I'm excited about it.

I totally agree with Bessel about Ruth. She is so exciting to be on this along with the other two specialists. Hooray!

Where does one go to find a competent trauma informed neurofeedback therapist? Is there a listing of folks who have completed training? Thanks.

I like the jenga style piled book stack behind Dr Kolk. I was anxious it’s gonna topple 🤣💜

This research is so profound. Why is it not main stream already?!?

I love the rapport on display here

I am studying counselling and I am very interested in Neurofeedback because it is so visual in its measuring capabilities both for clients and clinicians. I am just wondering how the sham group were able to have a 30% positive outcome that lasted 3 months - how were the 30% measured because Ruth said their neurofeedback view did not change - did they just measure their success off the client's state of emotional feelings and what does it mean that people can feel better but not have a brain change?

It drives me crazy that Bessel recommends Neurofeedback so strongly, but then I can't figure out what kind, exactly, nor how to find a reputable practitioner in my area. (I keep going to people that clearly just got a hold of some equipment but are untrained.)

I'm so taken with neurofeedback, thank you for this video. Did you get a database of practitioners? I am looking for a therapist/practitioner in Capetown, South Africa. Please make a referral if possible. Thank you

What date was this? No given with video 🙏🏻

This is very informative and gives me hope. In Germany, where I live, neurofeedback is relatively unknown and firmly in the hands of people with very little medical expertise - alternative practitioners and occupational therapists, and maybe some coaches. Only a few doctors and psychotherapists, and you have to be lucky to have one near the place where you live. But psychotherapy these days is not really an option because since the pandemic you have to wait 6 to 12 month minimum to get an appointment, and that's for therapists who aren't even very specialized. As for the non-medical practitioners, this is something unique to our country, the standards are very low and you can basically call yourself "Heilpraktiker" after declaring you don't intend to harm people and completing a handful of seminars. This is not to say there aren't some who know what they're doing, but most will have a focus on herbal medicine and such. You don't really want them to mess with your brain... The occupational therapists mostly either don't have the equipment in the first place because it's expensive and not used as a standard, or they have it but the only person who can use it has only done a 2-weeks training and/or not much practical experience. I experienced that first-hand because I went to three different of these therapists before I found a doctor experienced in neurofeedback. She's highly skilled, still health insurance won't cover the treatment. Unlike the occupational therapy before, which was a disaster (one of them needed three appointments to even get the machine running properly). I'm not sure how the situation became so absurd... In a nutshell you can say that in Germany there are only few people able to use the full potential of neurofeedback, and apart from that it's a somewhat exotic therapy tool seldom used by some alternative practitioners and occupational therapists. As a result, people who suffer from trauma or depression, even if they happen to know about neurofeedback, will probably not find anyone skilled enough to treat them. And then most people, including medical professionals, don't even know the method exists in the first place. It's such a powerful tool, it should be standard in the field of psychological disorders. Instead it's used only in a very narrow range, by people who have little or no knowledge about how the brain works, thus contributing little to its advancement or changing the status quo.

Does neurofeedback work for fibromyalgia

Once 50% of your school populations has been traumatised, you don,t set up a clinic, you change the school to manage the trauma. Can anyone see the parallel with obesity and overweight now half our population has become so overweight - don,t set up a clinic but change the culture & the food system! As recognised for decades.

This is so unbelievably stupid. Never underestimate how much nociceptive inputs coming from the periphery can have bioplstic changes on your organism
