If you're suffering from a mental health disorder or brain-based condition, you may have heard about neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is an all-natural, drug-free way to alter the state of your brain for the better and address any imbalances or dysfunction that may be occurring. Still, as effective as this therapy is, many people find it difficult to commit to the regularly scheduled appointments that are necessary to successfully retrain your brain. Whether you’re being held back by work, a long drive, or a busy schedule, we understand that making it to a clinic every week can be challenging. That's why we're here today to talk to you about neurofeedback at home.

For a long time, scientists believed that the brain was a nonrenewable organ—that once the brain was fully developed, no new brain cells were produced. In the last few decades, groundbreaking research has revealed the opposite: throughout your life, your brain can create new neurons and new neural pathways. This concept is called neuroplasticity. And it’s the basis for a type of brain-based therapy called neurofeedback, which works to rewire your brain in a natural and noninvasive way through neuroplasticity training.

Our brains are responsible for how we think, how we feel, the ways in which we move, and even how we act. Experiencing a traumatic brain injury can be devastating, not only for the person who suffered the injury but also for their family and friends. The effects of brain damage can wreak havoc on all aspects of daily life. Between constant headaches, a decline in cognitive function, mood swings, and blurred vision, there are countless obstacles caused by a TBI that must be faced every day. For most, recovery from a TBI is a long and challenging process. If you're interested in learning more about neurofeedback for TBI patients, we are here to help.

Going to appointments isn’t always easy. You often have to take some time off from work, rearrange your schedule, or add on to an already long day. And let’s not forget about all the time it takes to drive to and from your appointments. If you’ve been struggling with your mental health or overall mental performance and you’ve considered neurofeedback treatment but can’t commit to the regular appointments, consider home neurofeedback instead.

The brain and body are closely linked. And when your brain isn’t functioning properly, your mental health and neurological well-being suffer. Neurofeedback training can help. But finding a time that fits with your schedule isn’t always easy. Between work, personal obligations, and other commitments, the last thing you want to do is drive all the way to a doctor’s office. Luckily, you can now do neurofeedback training at home.

More and more people are starting to get more and more serious about their mental health care and wellbeing. Not only that, but the stigma around mental health is also beginning to dissipate as people become more comfortable discussing mental health. All of this means that the availability of the various support and care options is becoming increasingly more prevalent. Traditional mental health care services like talk therapy can be done through an app and the lesser known services like neurofeedback can be done from the comfort of your home. Now, just because a service option is more convenient doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right solution for you, but it could be. As local neurofeedback specialists, we want to share some insight into the concept of remote neurofeedback and help you determine if neurofeedback at home is right for you.
