In May of 2020, in the midst of full lockdown in New York City, I wrote a blog post titled NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback and COVID-19.

I shared some of the many benefits and ways that training our brains helped us in the midst of the pandemic. I’ll paste those in here.

• Our temper and irritability fuses have grown longer rather than getting shorter.
• We’re laughing more. That’s especially helpful when so much of the news is bad.
• We’re sleeping really well. Good sleep helps with pretty much everything, and it’s very good for the immune system.
• We are overall less stressed that we thought we would be.
• We’re dealing with the uncertainty better.

NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback and COVID-19 Post Lockdown

New York City was the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic. Now most of the City has reopened, and we’re finding NeurOptimal® equally helpful navigating “the new normal.”

In 16 years of working with clients, I have seen that NeurOptimal® training typically produces increases in resilience and flexibility. Surely we are all – locked down or reopened – living in a time where those things are most helpful!

Managing stress and sleep better are also common in my clients. Those things may be more important than ever to you.
