Direct Neurofeedback

About

Direct Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, brain-based therapy that uses subtle electromagnetic signals to help the brain “reset” and regulate itself more effectively. Unlike traditional neurofeedback, it does not require active participation or training from the client. Instead, it gently disrupts stuck patterns in brain activity, allowing the nervous system to shift out of stress, anxiety, trauma, and other dysregulated states.

This therapy is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and traumatic brain injuries. Sessions are quick, typically lasting under 30 minutes, and clients often report noticeable improvements within just a few sessions. Direct Neurofeedback is safe, painless, and suitable for both adults and children.

What Does it Help With?

Direct Neurofeedback (DNF) is a highly effective treatment with immediate and long-lasting results. Using extremely low-strength electromagnetic currents charted from the unique EEG pattern of the patient, DNF treats a wide variety of mental health conditions. Using small sensors gently placed at the client’s temples, DNF sends an ultra-low voltage, imperceptible signal to the brain that causes a slight fluctuation in brain waves, stimulating frozen neural pathways and encouraging the brain to reorganize for optimal functioning. DNF signals are 1000 times weaker than an AA battery held to the temples. We at The Insight Clinic provide the best Neurofeedback Stress Relief Therapy in Ontario.

DNF will not cure the underlying illness. Instead, it reduces the physical stress reactions resulting from the illness, making DNF relaxing for most people. Some clients even experience immediate relief and results, which can last from 30 minutes up to 36 hours, varying from person to person. Clients may initially require twice-a-week DNF sessions, tapering down to once a month or every 6 weeks sessions. Long-term results normally begin to develop in 3-4 weeks or 6-8 sessions. Most clients use an average of 20 sessions for long-lasting results.
