Neurofeedback training can be used to regulate a wide range of emotions by targeting specific brainwave patterns associated with emotional processing and regulation.

Neurofeedback training offers a non-invasive and drug-free approach to regulating emotions by targeting underlying brainwave patterns associated with emotional processing and regulation. By promoting self-regulation and neuroplasticity, neurofeedback can help individuals achieve greater emotional resilience, well-being, and quality of life.

Here is a short list of the most common emotional regulation neurofeedback training helps with.

Anxiety

Neurofeedback training can help individuals regulate feelings of anxiety by targeting brainwave patterns associated with heightened arousal and stress. Training protocols aim to increase alpha (8-12 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) activity in frontal regions of the brain while reducing beta (12-30 Hz) activity, promoting relaxation and calmness.

Depression

Neurofeedback training may be used to regulate feelings of depression by targeting brainwave patterns associated with mood regulation and emotional processing. Training protocols aim to increase alpha (8-12 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) activity in frontal regions of the brain associated with positive mood states and emotional resilience.

Stress

Neurofeedback training can help individuals manage stress by targeting brainwave patterns associated with the stress response and physiological arousal. Training protocols aim to modulate beta (12-30 Hz) activity and increase alpha (8-12 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) activity, promoting relaxation and stress reduction.

Anger

Neurofeedback training may be used to regulate feelings of anger and irritability by targeting brainwave patterns associated with emotional regulation and impulse control. Training protocols aim to increase alpha (8-12 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) activity in frontal regions of the brain while reducing beta (12-30 Hz) activity, promoting emotional stability and self-control.

Fear

Neurofeedback training can help individuals regulate feelings of fear and phobias by targeting brainwave patterns associated with fear processing and arousal. Training protocols aim to modulate beta (12-30 Hz) and gamma (>30 Hz) activity in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex regions of the brain, promoting desensitization and relaxation.

Sadness

Neurofeedback training may be used to regulate feelings of sadness by targeting brainwave patterns associated with mood regulation and emotional processing. Training protocols aim to increase alpha (8-12 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) activity in frontal regions of the brain associated with positive mood states and emotional resilience.

Emotional Dysregulation

Neurofeedback training can help individuals regulate emotional dysregulation by targeting brainwave patterns associated with emotional processing and self-regulation. Training protocols aim to enhance coherence and balance between different brain regions involved in emotion regulation, promoting emotional stability and adaptability.
