Neurofeedback works by helping your brain learn new patterns of regulation through direct feedback. It does not tell your brain what to do or apply force. Instead, it allows your brain to observe its own activity and make small, natural adjustments. This process is known as operant conditioning. Over time, with repeated sessions, these adjustments can become more stable and long-lasting. The experience itself is calm and simple. While sensors record your brainwave patterns, you might watch a video, listen to sounds, or play a visual game. When your brain moves into a desired range of activity, the feedback is positive — the screen may brighten, or the sound may become smoother. When your brain moves out of that range, the feedback pauses. This trains your brain to move toward more balanced activity over time. Neurofeedback is often used to support ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, sleep disorders, and symptoms related to traumatic stress. It can also be helpful for chronic stress, burnout, and general emotional dysregulation. Many people find that it helps them feel more grounded, clear, and able to respond rather than react in stressful situations. Unlike traditional talk therapy, neurofeedback does not require you to process memories or emotions directly. This makes it a supportive option for people who feel overwhelmed by traditional approaches or who want to work with their nervous system in a different way.
