Biofeedback Treatment sessions

Biofeedback is a useful tool to assist patient's reduction of anxiety. I have been using biofeedback in my practice for many years. Basically, when a session begins the biofeedback machine emits a barrage of light and sound which tends to cause the arousal of the limbic system. A patient often feels something similar to the initial anxiety attack brought on by the "fight ot flight" response. As this accours, I am assisting the patient to allow the natural process of relaxation response to occur even while being exposed to both auditory and visual stimulous from the machine.

I have had much success in utilizing this technique in my practice especially with those whom experience panic disorder and phobic responses.
