Have you experienced trauma in your life? Do you still struggle with reliving traumatic events? Are you frequently anxious, angry, or on guard? Do you struggle with sleep or feel distant and detached from others?
In the aftermath of traumatic events, finding a path to healing is crucial. NuVista Mental Health stands as a beacon of support, offering specialized PTSD counseling designed to guide individuals through the process of recovery.
While experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), your brain becomes involuntarily stuck in a state of stress, being on guard, vigilant, and overstimulated.
PTSD IS YOUR BRAIN’S WAY OF TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL
PTSD can result from a single traumatic event, like an accident or assault, or from long-term experiences such as chronic abuse or living in a warzone. It can affect individuals of any age. For those grappling with PTSD, the impacts can be diverse, including frequent nightmares, intrusive images, difficulty managing emotions and physical reactions, detachment from others, poor sleep, and agitation. Your brain may struggle to deactivate your fight, flight, or freeze response. While it might feel like your reactions are beyond your control, they are not.

NEUROFEEDBACK AND PTSD
We understand that PTSD is rooted in the brain. It stems from alterations in the areas responsible for fear and vigilance, triggering a persistent state of stress. While some treatments may alleviate certain PTSD-related symptoms, Neurofeedback enables us to monitor the specific brainwave patterns and their affected regions resulting from your trauma. The responses induced by PTSD are involuntary, not voluntary, hence Neurofeedback aids in regulating the brain activity underlying your physical and mental reactions to the trauma.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH NEUROFEEDBACK
Neurofeedback focuses on regulating dysregulated brainwaves, which are at the core of your PTSD. While many conventional PTSD treatments advocate relaxation, achieving it can be challenging for those living with PTSD. Neurofeedback offers a pathway for your body and brain to rediscover that tranquil state. Clients who undergo Neurofeedback for PTSD frequently describe a decrease in nightmares, flashbacks, and fear or panic sensations. They also experience enhanced calmness and reduced reactivity to triggers. If Neurofeedback aligns with your needs, it could pave the way for you to once again savor life’s moments.
