Neurofeedback is a powerful tool for rewiring the brain, but just like with physical training, what you do outside your sessions can make a big difference.
At Brain Mind Wellness, we believe in a whole-person approach that supports lasting, sustainable change. Whether you’re working on anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or stress, here are our top tips to help you get the most out of your neurofeedback experience – plus how therapy and ketamine assisted therapy can deepen your results.
Be Consistent with Your Sessions
The brain learns through repetition. For best results, attend sessions regularly, typically 2–3 times per week at first. Gaps between sessions can slow down your brain’s learning process.
Prioritize Sleep
Your brain heals and consolidates changes during sleep. Deep, restorative rest supports neuroplasticity, which is the foundation of neurofeedback. Establish a calming evening routine (no screens an hour before bed) and go to bed at a consistent time.
Hydrate & Eat for Brain Health
Your brain is about 75% water. Dehydration and blood sugar crashes can affect your mood, energy, and focus. Eat whole foods and stay hydrated to keep your brain operating at its best.
Pair Neurofeedback with Therapy or Ketamine Assisted Therapy
Neurofeedback trains your brain to self-regulate, but it doesn’t process your life experiences for you. That’s where therapy and ketamine assisted therapy come in.
Talk therapy helps you explore emotions, patterns, and relationships with more clarity, while ketamine assisted therapy gently guides the brain to a resolution of trauma and stress responses that may be keeping your brain in overdrive.
Together, they create powerful synergy.
Track Your Progress
You may not notice changes right away, or you might feel better without realizing why. Journaling or keeping a brief log can help you spot improvements in:
- Sleep
- Focus
- Mood stability
- Reactivity
- Decision-making
Engage in a Calming Daily Practice
Breathing exercises, mindfulness, stretching, or walking in nature can help anchor your nervous system between sessions. These practices support what you’re building during neurofeedback and therapy.
Communicate with Your Clinician
Noticing something odd? Feeling frustrated? Tell us. Your brain is unique, and your feedback helps us fine-tune your protocol and support you better.
Trust the Process
Healing is not always linear. Some weeks will feel amazing; others may bring up emotions or fatigue. That’s normal as your brain is adjusting and rewiring itself.
