Description

Try as we might through talk and somatic therapies, it can be very difficult to shift the states of fear, shame, and rage that haunt clients with early developmental traumas. Fortunately, recent research shows that using neurofeedback to train the brain to fire in new ways can quiet these trauma-based affects, and create a space for healing.
