What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety Has a Neurological Signature. And We Can See It.
Anxiety isn’t just a mindset problem. It has a measurable electrical signature in the brain. specific patterns of dysregulated brainwave activity that maintain the experience of chronic worry, fear, and physical tension.
A QEEG brain map shows us exactly which patterns are driving your anxiety. Neurofeedback then trains your brain to shift those patterns in real time session by session, until the change becomes the brain’s new baseline.

Anxiety FAQ
Common Questions About Neurofeedback for Anxiety
Honest answers to the questions we hear most often.
Can neurofeedback eliminate anxiety completely?
For many clients, yes — or very close to it. Results vary by individual, severity, and history. Gil will give you an honest assessment after your QEEG.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Many clients notice improved sleep and reduced reactivity within 8–12 sessions. Full results typically emerge over a complete protocol of 20–40 sessions.
Do I have to stop my anxiety medication?
No. Neurofeedback works alongside medication. Many clients reduce medication over time in consultation with their prescribing doctor — but this is never required.
Is this effective for social anxiety?
Yes. Social anxiety has specific brainwave patterns that neurofeedback can target directly, often with very significant results.
What does a session feel like?
Most clients describe sessions as relaxing — sitting comfortably while watching or listening to feedback that responds to their brainwaves. No effort, no discomfort.
