Catherine A. Boyer, MA, LCSW Client Comments About Neurofeedback New York, New York 10024 Before I share clients' comments with you, first let me tell you a personal story: One of the most common anxiety dreams people have has to do with school. If you ask a roomful of people, "Who here has had a dream where you’re back in school and you’re not prepared? You forgot there was a test… You left your books home… You can’t find the classroom…" Almost everyone in the room will raise their hand to indicate they’ve had that type of dream. I had them, too, once or twice a year for decades. After having done several NeurOptimal™ (formerly NeuroCARE®) sessions on my own brain, one night I had this dream: I was at home getting ready for school when I remembered that there was a major test that day, and I’d forgotten to prepare for it. I started to get anxious but then in the dream I said to myself, "Don’t worry. You know the material. You’ll ace it!" End of dream. That was years ago, and the last time I had that dream. Here's a sampling of things clients have reported. If you don’t see comments that relate to what you want, you’re welcome to call or email me with questions. I organized my office last night. I didn’t know what the word "organized" meant before. I got depressed but after about an hour I got bored with it and stopped. My boss said, "What have you been doing -- you’re not afraid of me anymore!" I rarely get tension headaches now. I decided to stop doing my [obsessive-compulsive] rituals, and I just stopped. After 40 years of doing them! I can tell that I don’t really want that second glass of wine. My husband and I started the same old familiar fight but it was over in five minutes instead of an hour. I can sit still now and actually like it. I’m meditating every day. I don't tiptoe around people anymore. My bed is a welcoming place now, not a torture chamber of tossing and turning, trying to sleep. I’m a better golfer now [at age 67] than I was when I was 20 years younger, because I play smarter and I’m more focused. I know when I’m full. The stage fright I used to get is gone. I’m waking up looking forward to the day. I don’t get thrown off by the things that used to get to me. I haven’t slept so well in years. I can visit my family now and not get drawn into the stuff that goes on. For the first time, I know what the word "happy" means. My panic attacks have disappeared completely. I start to get angry, but I can stop and think about what's going on and what I need and how to ask for it without hurting anybody. Now I'm enjoying the things again that I used to enjoy. home | what is neurofeedback? | what to expect about catherine | client comments | contact location | links | site map Catherine A.
