Anxiety is a unique experience.

Some people notice feeling it primarily in their bodies, for example: 

Racing Heart  |  Tense Muscles  |  Tension Headaches  |  Pit-in-the-Stomach  |  

Sweating  |  Upset Stomach  |  Panic Attacks  |  Etc.

Others may notice it in their thoughts or mind, for example: 

Ruminations  |  Compulsive Urges  |  Worrying  |  Catastrophizing Thoughts  |  

Overthinking  |  Perfectionism  |  Inflexible Thinking  |  Etc.

It is also common to experience a combination of both. 

Regardless of the symptoms of anxiety, it is pervasive and disruptive.  While everyone experiences some level of anxiety,  a large population notices that it takes hold.

Depending on the roots of the anxiety, sensor placement will vary.  Most often, anxiety 

disorders create an excess of brainwave activity.  Thus, Neurofeedback aims to decrease 

fast brainwaves to allow for relief.  With OCD and GAD, most often the training is done 

in the frontal lobes. Research indicates stabilization of OCD symptoms following the 

completion of Neurotherapy remain trained over a year later.*

Additionally, with other types of anxiety and panic, training may be central and even in the Parietal Lobes for stabilization.  Ruminations are believed to be connected to cortical midline structures with focus on the default mode network.  Training with this structure and network shows promising results in decreasing ruminative thoughts and feelings.**  Current research shows Neurofeedback as an effective treatment modality.***
