Neurofeedback Basics
- Neurofeedback identifies and corrects maladaptive brainwave patterns.
- It addresses the brain's electrical communication, unlike interventions focused on chemical imbalances.
Understanding Emotions
- Emotions are the limbic brain's reactions, driven by a perception of immediate danger.
- Hyperarousal (anxiety, irritability) and hypoarousal (hopelessness, dissociation) are extreme limbic responses.
Dealing with Emotional Dysregulation
- Remember that intense emotions, while real, may not reflect present reality or personal flaws.
- Separate your identity from automatic brain patterns to reduce shame and self-judgment.
