I became interested in biofeedback after my young daughter developed severe panic attacks revolving around the fear of regurgitation. After some research, I decided to give it a try, and we were all very pleased with the results!
My son had gone as well for his systemic, severe reaction to poison oak. After a limited number of training sessions, he no longer has the reactions he used to. The last time he was exposed to the evil weed, he developed no more than a few bumps that never developed into an outbreak. It has now been over two years and he is still experiencing the benefits of not reacting to the allergen the way he originally did.
My husband, having gone through back surgery, still had muscle spasms in his central & low back. The stress of his job as an auto technician was also a big issue. The degree of pain relief and sense of calm that that he received from sessions of biofeedback made him a true believer!
As for me, my own experience with this method of stress management over the course of a couple of years led me to become a specialist myself! If this method didn’t work, I would not have invested the time, money and training—not only with the countless sessions that our own family has had with another practitioner, but in becoming a trained specialist myself. I feel truly blessed to be able to offer this modality to my family, friends, pets and humankind in general!
