Biofeedback

In addition to talk therapy, I have training in heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback therapy and am a HeartMath® Certified Practitioner. HeartMath® utilizes HRV biofeedback software and evidenced-based techniques to regulate heart rhythms which can intrinsically influence other areas of your body to work more efficiently.

While talk therapy can provide alternative perspectives and thoughts related to stress and anxiety, biofeedback touches the connection between our bodily signals and our brains. This therapy can provide specific techniques to address physical responses to stress (which can then signal/influence our brains response). It can be performed as a stand alone service or can be a beneficial supplement to talk therapy.

Stress is an intrinsic part of life and impacts all of us in various ways at different intensities. These techniques are useful tools for most people. They can be especially effective for managing:

• anxiety

• panic

• promoting focus

• limiting the physiological impacts of stress on medical conditions

• and other conditions listed on their site https://www.heartmath.com/modi/
  

These are skills based techniques and treatment length can vary dramatically depending on needs and interests for just 3 sessions to up to 20 for additional practice.
