Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

How Neurofeedback Addresses PTSD
After trauma, the brain and nervous system can get stuck in a loop of repeating symptoms, indicating that the nervous system is dysregulated. At ECNF, we comprehensively evaluate symptoms to identify how to train the brain back to a state of equilibrium. Specifically, our evidence-based protocols help the brain improve connection to what is known as the "default mode network" (DMN). The DMN plays a key role in the ability to consolidate memory appropriately, integrating the experience so that the symptoms of distress are reduced. This benefits present relationships and life in general.

Neurofeedback also increases the numbers of the brain neurons responsible for mood regulation, alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression without medication. Once the brain is in the right state to naturally process an experience, the response to triggers is reduced and symptoms are relieved.
