You are in a great area. There is some music therapy I want to do that is available in Chapel Hill and not here in Greensboro. (I am a UNC alumni.) There is no question, you will see improvement with both! Figure out how to make them happen. You are worth it!Debbie Hamptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14309781476253030113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174126926852256192.post-30289520674288193972010-03-16T10:55:15.542-04:002010-03-16T10:55:15.542-04:00Cool, thanks.

I feel like I've made some progress with lifestyle changes, exercise and dietary habits, neuropsychiatry, and keeping socially and mentally active (learning new things, etc). But yeah, it might be time to start throwing more money at the problem. If it works, it'll be worth it. Just a question of how confident my wife and I can be in that IF.

The hbot gives the brain some oxygen to do the work the neurofeedback is telling it to do. <br /><br />Nueurofeedback is not recommended until the brain is stable - until at least 6 months post injury. So that may be a determining factor. Hbot is really helpful as soon after injury as possible.<br /><br />Unfortunately insurance, does not generally cover either. May in some limited cases like autism. But, to me, it is worth going into debt. This is your life and future you are talking about here. Money should not be the determining factor. Do something!<br /><br />I have read Brainlash. It is great and has some very good info.<br /><br />Local practitioners for both can be found on the web. Places to start are:<br /><br />www.hypertc.com<br /><br /><br />Biofeedback Certification Institute of America-<br />http://www.bcia.org<br /><br /><br />Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback - <br />http://www.aapb.org<br /><br />International Society for Neurofeedback and Research <br />http://www.isnr.orgDebbie Hamptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14309781476253030113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174126926852256192.post-1690484487075257852010-03-16T09:46:54.228-04:002010-03-16T09:46:54.228-04:00Thanks for the info.

I'm currently debating whether I want to find the funds to explore EEG biofeedback or hyperbaric next for my mTBI, both of which I first found out about in the book Brainlash. How did you go about finding a practitioner you like? Were you able to get your insurance to help out?Alexhttp://www.alexwilson.comnoreply@blogger.com
