As a psychologist, one of the most common conversations I have with clients is about neurofeedback. Despite its growing popularity and scientific backing, there are still a lot of myths and fears surrounding it. In reality, neurofeedback is more akin to physical training for the brain. Just like you might train your muscles at the gym, neurofeedback trains your brain to self-regulate and optimize its functioning. My goal is always that you feel informed and empowered. When we understand what neurofeedback is—and what it isn’t—it becomes a compassionate, practical option for many people.
