Ready To Focus is pleased to announce our partnership with Homecoming for Veterans (www.homecoming4veterans.org) to provide neurofeedback services to veterans struggling with PTSD issues at no charge. Biofeedback/Neurofeedback organizations that partner with Homecoming For Veterans agree to provide NF to veterans at no charge for a minimum of 20 sessions. Neurofeedback has been shown to assist greatly in reducing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) such as anxiety, obsessive thoughts or memories, poor sleep, and agitation. If you are a veteran and would like to explore this with Ready To Focus please contact our office at 1-800-850-0535.

I have had the opportunity to practice neurofeedback as a specialty since 2004, and since that time I have been able to assess and treat well over a thousand of participants using this “next generation of behavioral healthcare” treatment. A common question I receive from a potential participant at his or her assessment session is “Will neurofeedback really benefit me?” While it is impossible to predict the future, it is my opinion there are a few factors to consider in attempting to answer this question:
- Number of sessions completed: Those who complete 30-50 sessions tend increase their odds of better improvement. Less than that can work, but reduces the odds.
- Protocol followed: An experienced neurofeedback provider will be able to “prescribe” the best protocol for you. “One size” does not fit all.
- Medications: Depending on the type of medication you are taking that may play a role in how effective the training is for you.
- Condition: Some conditions are more difficult to address than others and may take more time to see results. For example, those with autism can take more time to respond than ADHD.
- Equipment Used: There is a wide variety of EEG equipment available for providers to use. Some equipment provides poor quality EEG connection and this can be a negative.
Overall, I tell our Ready To Focus participants the following based on my experience: Approximately a third of all participants will see absolutely fantastic results. By this I mean that neurofeedback will address the majority of issues you wanted it to and make a life changing event. Another third of participants will see very solid results. By this I mean that neurofeedback will address many of the issues (but not all) and it is possible that occasional follow-up appointments every once and a while will be needed to keep you on track. The last third will struggle somewhat with neurofeedback and may require either additional therapies to reach their goal or longer term commitment to neurofeedback if the goal is to use it as a primary treatment. Some of the factors I listed above will contribute to what group the participant ends up being in. That said, I believe neurofeedback does a very good job for most participants and a very large majority of our participants report satisfaction and good results.

As you scroll down and read the success stories listed in this section of the website you will notice that we have discontinued updating them as of end of 2011. We did so at that point as we realized most of the conditions we treat have been listed as a story and there is enough there to give the reader information on how our program works. We will continue to update as required from this point forward. If you have a success story with us that you would like considered for the website - please email us at Kristi@readytofocus.com.
