NeurOptimal\u00ae is essentially a brain workout. It trains your brain to be more flexible and resilient. Without pushing it in any specific direction, the NeurOptimal\u00ae neurofeedback system interacts with your central nervous system in a way that improves neural plasticity. A mind that is more flexible adapts and responds quicker and more appropriately to changes in your environment. \u00a0<\/p>\n
NeurOptimal\u00ae can also help build brain resilience, or an increase in the central nervous system\u2019s ability to \u201cbounce back\u201d from a negative event. \u00a0Negative feelings associated with a personal conflict or bad day at work can hover hours after the actual event has passed. The destructive effects of nervousness or self-critical thinking is magnified in more severe events. Instead of staying stuck in the negativity of these events, the resilient brain snaps back and returns to its normal baseline quicker. Individuals with more resilient brains report feeling happier and enjoying a more profound sense of peace.<\/p>\n
NeurOptimal\u00ae Neurofeedback\u00a0<\/strong>is a powerful evidence-based approach to enhancing mental health and well-being. It is a 100% non-invasive, drug-free, brain training system that helps the central nervous system (CNS) make the best use of the brain\u2019s natural resources. NeurOptimal\u2122 Neurofeedback brain training can help to:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ text_line_height=”1.8em” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Much like a mirror that promotes self-correction, the NeurOptimal\u00ae Neurofeedback program monitors your brain waves and then provides \u201cfeedback\u201d to your central nervous system about what it has just done. When the software detects a tremor in our brain wave pattern, it sends an audible signal that encourages the brain to \u201creset\u201d and self-correct.<\/p>\n Neurofeedback training is based on the scientific finding that we can all learn to change our brain\u2019s functioning through feedback about brain wave activity. The brain is capable of reorganizing itself to the point of producing new neural circuitry in response to specific training \u2013 this is currently referred to as \u201cneuroplasticity\u201d. Improving brain function helps to significantly reduce or eliminate the underlying causes of many conditions that cause discomfort.<\/p>\n The system that I use, NeurOptimal\u00ae Neurofeedback, trains your entire central nervous system to perform optimally. It gives your system feedback about its maladaptive patterns and your brain decides how to use that information to improve its overall functioning. Nothing is added to your brain.<\/p>\n I work with a wide variety of clients to help with areas such as anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, concussion, stress management, scholastic and academic effectiveness, ADHD, and aging as well as performance enhancement (including creative, athletic, executive performance).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Who Benefits from Neurofeedback Training?<\/strong><\/p>\n Anyone can benefit from neurofeedback regardless of the age category that they belong to. Children often see results much quicker because their brains are more malleable.<\/p>\n How Is NeurOptimal\u00ae Different from Other Neurofeedback Systems?<\/strong><\/p>\n NeurOptimal\u00ae does not tell the brain what or what not to do. Instead, the system responds to the brainwave information and the client responds to the feedback that the system provides. Furthermore, NeurOptimal\u00ae trainers do not diagnose nor treat specific symptoms. Instead, they train the whole brain simultaneously. In addition, traditional neurofeedback systems require licensed clinicians to make or use a diagnosis with the help of electroencephalogram. This makes the process much more time consuming, expensive and is unnecessary.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Clients generally see an improvement in the following areas:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/crossroadscollective.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NeuroOptimal.jpg” title_text=”NeuroOptimal” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n During a NeurOptimal\u00ae brain training session, you wear two tiny sensors on your head and ear clips on your ears that record the electrical activity of your brain. You sit in a comfortable chair and listen to music while watching a never-repeating fractal image. Through tiny pauses in the music, NeurOptimal\u00ae is communicating with the brain, letting it know what it has just done. These interruptions give the opportunity to the brain to self-correct into a more natural, relaxed and effective pattern.<\/p>\n\n
