What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is one of the more powerful transformative technologies available today. It is a gentle, non-invasive process that utilizes information about your brain waves to facilitate better mental performance, mental health, and overall well-being. It's like exercise for your brain, gently challenging it to develop the neural pathways it needs for better balance (resilience) and functioning (performance). As a result, you enjoy increased focus and concentration, more resilience to stress, and improved performance. 

With NeurOptimal neurofeedback—the cutting edge in neurofeedback technology and the only system we endorse at Break-Thru Coaching—each client's brain directs its own learning and response to the feedback.  This is important because it means that each client will see benefits tailored to his or her own needs. 

Break-thru NeurOptimal neurofeedback Coaching combines coaching and neurofeedback. While you're talking comfortably with your coach, working to achieve your goals, the NeurOptimal neurofeedback system is "feeding back" to your brain information about the signal variability it's picking up. The feedback triggers your brain's own orienting response that occurs whenever any of its self-regulatory mechanisms go offline. The brain scans its dynamic process to see what the problem is, and begins to self-correct. It's the "self-correction" that creates the improvement and strengthening. All this is happening in the background, supporting the work you and your coach are doing in your session. Neurofeedback provides the brain a way to see itself working, which allows the brain to create new neural connections, interrupt bad habits, heal itself, and optimize its performance.

Neurofeedback is:

  • effective

  • non-invasive

  • drug-free

  • painless

  • free of side effects

  • long-lasting with a sufficient amount of brain training
