When I decided to try neuro-feedback therapy, I was at the end of my rope.  I have suffered from depression-like symptoms off and on throughout my adulthood.  I had even tried some anti-depressants prescribed by my family doctor.  But I was not happy with the results and worried about the side effects.

Yet I had to do something.  I was not sleeping well, had no energy, felt overwhelmed and did not really care if I was alive or dead.  I was also struggling with short-term memory loss and had begun to worry about my performance at work.

When I had my first brain map done, I was surprised that the results reflected my personality so thoroughly.   The map showed that the front areas of my brain where on over-drive.  This area was hyper-active, never relaxing and over-emotional.  No wonder I was not sleeping.  My brain never turned off.  This explained my tendency to over-react to situations and feel overwhelmed when confronted with setbacks in my life. The back areas of my brain, however, were depressed.  These are the memory areas.

 The first benefit I have experienced with neuro-feedback is the feeling of being in control again.  I made the decision to do something about feeling bad and the action I take each time I have a session reinforces my belief that I can feel better.  I no longer feel hopeless.  It is important to me to see that what I am feeling has a cause.   The brain map proved that the symptoms I have are not imaginary.  It has been a relief to finally talk to someone about my problems.  The staff here has been very supportive.

 The second benefit I experienced right away is that I started to sleep better.  That has made a huge difference in my tendency to over-react to situations.  I am no longer as fuzzy-brained or over-emotional.

 I am currently working on the over-reactive areas of my brain at FMCFC. Soon, we will focus more on the depressed areas.  I am making progress as is shown by subsequent brain maps.  I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone suffering from similar symptoms as mine.  It is an easy and enjoyable procedure that takes some commitment but is worth it.
