Neurofeedback Using the LENS Neurofeedback™ system approach
Why use LENS?
Anxiety -- These may include issues with a generalized or persistent feelings of anxiety, restlessness, rumination, agitation, distractability, difficulty breathing, palpitations, tremor exacerbation, and/or sleep interruption
- A LENS session is typically shorter and the number of sessions required to experience significant shifts are considerably less.
- Clients are not required to engage in any form of training or other mental or physical activity during the LENS session as they are typically required to do in traditional forms of neurofeedback.
- Clients do not need to concentrate or focus during sessions; the LENS does the work in delivering feedback to the client. This is very helpful for clients who are seeking neurofeedback due to an inability or impaired ability to concentrate or focus.
The LENS typically produces noticeable shifts within 3 to 5 sessions. Session lengths typically vary between 40 and 60 minutes. With the LENS approach clients do not need to engage in any form of training during sessions. The initial session is somewhat longer so that you and the practitioner can gain insight into how sensitive/discerning, reactive, and resilient your central nervous system is. This is important to customizing each session for your optimal well being.
Basically, the neurofeedback received by the client during a session mirrors or reflects the body and brain waves recorded by the sensors. This in effect, allows the central nervous system to re-organize into more optimal functioning. For those individuals who are sensitive with a high level of discernment, the number of sites in a session are limited to allow ample time for your central nervous system to re-organize based on the feedback. This is to prevent too drastic of a shift and provides the safety to adjust to your new baseline.
In general LENS addresses the functional blocking of the central nervous system that is often the root of issues such as:
- Ease of Cognition -- For example problems sequencing, memory, providing and maintaining attention, concentration, clarity and organization
- Mood -- Difficulty in regulating anger, sadness, and explosiveness
- Motor Coordination - Lack of grace, problems of eye-hand coordination, balance, increased muscle tone and tremor
- Motivation -- For example, problems initiating tasks, shifting from one activity to another, and/or completing tasks
- Anxiety -- These may include issues with a generalized or persistent feelings of anxiety, restlessness, rumination, agitation, distractibility, difficulty breathing, palpitations, tremor exacerbation, and/or sleep interruption
- Reactivity -- Including hyper-reactivity, hypersensitivity, multiple chemical sensitivities
Somatic Pain - Addictions/Dependencies -- Sometimes it is lack of self awareness or clarity about emotions and go to methods for self-comforting that may included defensiveness, argumentativeness and cynicism.
- Fatigue
- Trauma
- Irritability
- Focus difficulties, challenges
- Performance Optimization - Increases in overall physical and emotional functioning in absence of any diagnosis.
