I made an appointment with a therapist that specializes in biofeedback. I was wondering if anyone else has tried this & how it worked for you? Thanks

Depends? For things like panic attacks or PTSD flashbacks though, biofeedback is one of the best ways to go IMHO.

Im trying it for severe anxiety

Then you're in luck. A lot of places dont have anyone trained in biofeedback around. But to help turn down the volume on anxiety, it's one of the best things out there.

Now also ask about EMDR, it can be very helpful after the biofeedback starts to help. It's fairly new, so hopefully someone around you is trained.

Is that the same thing as neurofeedback? I tried neurofeedback but it didn't help.

Thank you Richard.
Heidi, I don't know if it's the same thing.

No. But, I am researching it right now. Thanks for mentioning it!
