Super Anxiety Control with Biofeedback Treatments.
I love biofeedback and seen many clients turn around and beat down their anxiety in a few sessions. Absolutely amazing! Real powerful stuff, anyway I wrote an article about biofeedback, what it is and how it can help you naturally control your anxiety.
What are Biofeedback Treatments?
Biofeedback is a scientifically-proven therapy/treatment that uses biofeedback equipment to monitor and show your physiological activity within your body. This expands your awareness and teaches you how to control your body.
Biofeedback training with a holistic natural professional is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, especially anxiety attacks, that produces results similar to those achieved by relaxation procedures like meditation, progressive relaxation and prescription medication with no side-effects.
Which are the Major Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorders share the symptoms of persistent irrational fear and uncertainty. The American Psychiatric Association lists the following anxiety disorders:
- Panic Disorder
- Phobias
- Adjustment Disorder with Anxious Features
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Adjustment Disorder with Anxious Features
The most common form of an anxiety problem is generalized anxiety disorder. People suffering from this usually experience:
- Anxiety
- Muscle Tension
- Fatigue
- Difficulty Concentrating
- Sleep disturbance
- Worry
- Restlessness
How do Biofeedback Practitioners Assess Anxiety Disorders?
A biofeedback practitioner may conduct a psychophysiological assessment that monitors your breathing, EEG, finger temperature, heart rhythm, thought patterns, skeletal muscle activity, and skin conductance during resting, mild stress, and recovery conditions using safe biofeedback equipment. This assessment will enable your biofeedback practitioner to develop an individualized natural treatment program to correct abnormal physical changes associated with anxiety attacks.
What is Biofeedback Therapy/Treatment?
Biofeedback therapy or treatments uses biofeedback equipment to increase your control and awareness of your physiological performance. A practitioner’s biofeedback recommendations are guided by the information given by the biofeedback devices suggested by the psychophysiological assessment.
How Does Biofeedback Treat Anxiety Disorders?
Biofeedback training methods may combine many techniques such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which is a form of psychotherapy, with one or more kinds of biofeedback training, including:
- EEG Biofeedback (brain electrical activity)
- Skin Conductance Biofeedback (sweat gland activity)
- Temperature Biofeedback (blood flow through small arteries)
- EMG Biofeedback (skeletal muscle activity)
- Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (timing between heartbeats)
- Respiratory Biofeedback (breathing patterns)
What is Your Role in Biofeedback Treatments?
Biofeedback practitioners assign “homework” during each training session. You are expected to chart symptoms and practice self-regulation skills and lifestyle modifications in between treatment sessions.
Why is “Homework” Important to Your Success with Biofeedback?
These take home assignments help you to be more aware of your body and control it in the diverse environments and activities of your daily life. Practice allows you to develop your new skills from the treatment sessions to your everyday life. Studies confirm that your success is greatly influenced by practicing what you have learned in your biofeedback treatment sessions.
How Effective is Biofeedback for Anxiety?
Studies have shown that biofeedback reduces anxiety as much as many conventional treatments. It is because root problems in attention, cognitive functions, and physiological arousal are dealt with. Stress management biofeedback may help you control the circumstances that trigger anxiety attacks.
