[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 107405, member: 3450"] Hi, yes, 2 of my kids have used it. difficult child 2 was doing it in the summer and beginning of Fall to help with her anxiety, nightmares, etc. It did seem to help and she enjoyed it. Then she had not done it for a couple of weeks and went back and I guess the setting was too low and she felt bad after it. Then she didn't want to go back. Now she is going to start up again because it does seem to help with the anxiety and also migraines. I noticed she seemed more "grounded" while she was doing the neurofeedback. My son (easy child) also was doing the neurofeedback. He has been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and ADHD. He had been Zoloft and Concerta but eventually did not want to take drugs anymore. As far as I knew he was doing okay but then he had a long talk with me one night (in the summer, he was 23) and told me how anxious he was but he did not like the way the drugs made him feel plus he had no insurance so couldn't really afford them anyway. I suggested the neurofeedback since difficult child 2 was doing it and he wanted to try. It was very successful with him. The practitioner said he was very responsive to it and he did feel much better. He went once a week for a couple of months and then he opened a restaurant and didn't have time for it anymore, plus he was doing so much better. I think you go for some intensive work for awhile and then you taper off. My son went back for a session a few weeks ago because his anxiety level was rising again. I think you have to go for "tune-ups" occasionally. I guess if I were you I would give it a try. It is supposed to really help with anxiety and I did see a positive result with both my kids as far as the anxiety goes. I think it can't hurt and may help. Also, both kids really enjoyed it--it's pretty neat. I watched a session with difficult child 2 where she had to control a game--you just watch and your brain automatically works to make the game work right. She also watched movies with her practitioner--if your brain is doing the right thing the movie plays correctly, if not it sort of "stutters" til your brain corrects itself.
