Biofeedback & The Modern Condition

We are all born with the most magnificent machine ever imagined – our own body! Unfortunately our body doesn’t come with an instruction manual or suggested maintenance schedule.

All day long our bodies are subject to good and bad stress – the ringing telephone, a smile an unkind word. We only become aware of it when it reaches a certain intensity – a pounding heart, sweating hands, muscle tension. The medical world realizes that stress is a major cause of disease. A direct relationship exists with heart disease, ulcers and numerous vague ailments. The toll of distress is monumental in both dollars and lives.

Our health and well-being can be compared to a three legged stool; one leg is medical procedures and surgery; the second is Pharmaceuticals; and the third leg is self-care. As our knowledge of the human body has grown, so has our appreciation of the third leg, self-care. We now understand the brain’s role in controlling our breathing, heart rate and other subconscious biological functions.

We have discovered that with training, we can control many of biological functions and improve our own health through coaching and therapy techniques known as biofeedback/ bilateral stimulation.

Biofeedback is a series of non-invasive training exercises using sophisticated computer graphics and sound to teach you to control your own body. The first step is an assessment to determine the method which will be most effective for you. Then, through a serices of sesions, you will learn to consciously alter factors such as skin temperature, muscle activity, sweat gland activity, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and brainwave patterns, and to discover the effects these have on your stress level.

The goal of biofeedback to to train you to be in control. I use it in coaching when it is indicated with:

• Performing Artists along with the Role Change Assessment and bilaterteral stimulation for peak acting and enrollment performance
• Businessmen
• Athletes
• Students to reduce stress in school and for exams
• For coaching in stress reduction and increased productivity
• Many professionals sports teams and performing artists use Biofeedback for peak performance training.
• Other uses for this technique include personal growth and meditation

Biofeedback and bilateral stimulation are non-invasive techniques which prove most effective in the following individuals

• Difficult clients that do not see how thay can help themselves
