Anyone have experience with it? Good or bad? Any info on it? I've heard/read that it can really help with anxiety and depression so I'm curious. Thanks.
Meg

In reply to Has anyone tried Biofeedback?, posted by MM on January 31, 2005, at 23:41:11
Yes, Meg, I'm doing biofeedback once a week for an hour and I find it not only useful but empowering too. I do an alpha-theta session that is training my mind to recognize a calmer, yet alert, state of well-being. I can access this state of mind easily for a day or so, then gradually lose touch with it. The next week's session brings me back to that awareness and the cycle repeats itself. As the weeks go on though I can rediscover this state more and more easily. I think with more discipline (i.e. regular medition to be in this calm and alert state more often) I will have a powerful tool to moderate the extremes of mood. Maybe worth a shot?

In reply to what kind of biofeedback do you use? could you do, posted by joebob on February 5, 2005, at 10:25:08
joebob,
I do it for 20 bucks a session with a sliding-scale psychologist who has an impressive technological set-up which I think would cost a pretty penny to buy for oneself. There are "home" versions, but I know nothing about their efficacy or reliability.
