Introduction to Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback therapy is a special kind of therapy that helps train the brain. It uses computers to show brain activity and teaches people how to change it. The goal is to improve mental health and brain function. At Cross Prairie Boys Ranch, we use neurofeedback therapy as part of our treatment programs. We find it helps our boys a lot. It is a safe and non-invasive way to help them overcome various challenges. By including neurofeedback therapy, we give our boys an extra tool to help them grow and heal.

We use neurofeedback therapy to help the boys understand how their brain works. This helps them learn how to control their thoughts and feelings better. It is a powerful tool that can bring about big changes in their behavior and well-being.

How Neurofeedback Therapy Works

In neurofeedback therapy, sensors are placed on the scalp. These sensors show the brain’s activity on a computer screen. The boys can see what their brain waves look like in real-time. Then, with the help of a therapist, they learn to control these brain waves. The therapy involves games or activities that respond to their brain activity. The goal is to train the brain to work better.

This therapy helps improve mental functions. It teaches the brain to stay calm, focused, and to think more clearly. This is very helpful for boys who struggle with attention, mood, or learning. It is like a workout for the brain. Just like muscles get stronger with exercise, the brain can get better at certain skills with neurofeedback therapy.
