A 45-year-old trauma survivor with a history of depression and anxiety, as well as multiple attempts at finding a treatment that would help, decided to give neurofeedback a try.
Neurofeedback wasn’t my first attempt at improving my mental health. I’d tried, or still used, psychotherapy, antidepressants, homeopathy, hypnotherapy, diet modifications, exercise, meditation, and acupuncture. Some modalities had a greater impact than others, and all of them helped me to some degree.
