There are other providers in Tulsa yet we are the forerunner in advanced equipment and affordable pricing. Some clinics may use a "plug and play" method, but at Cornerstone, we believe each client is unique and deserves a personalized training plan. We will work with you to understand your specific symptoms and brainwave activity, and then we will develop a training plan tailored to your needs.

No, EMDR and neurofeedback are not the same. They are both evidence-based services that can be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including trauma, anxiety, and depression. However, they work in different ways.

​

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation (BLS) to help people process and integrate traumatic memories. BLS can be delivered in a variety of ways, such as through eye movements, tapping, or tones.

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time EEG data to train the brain to function more optimally. During a neurofeedback session, the client wears a cap with sensors that measure their brain activity. The clinician then uses software to provide the client with feedback on their brain activity, which helps them learn to regulate their brainwave patterns.

​

Both EMDR and neurofeedback can be effective in treating a variety of conditions, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. EMDR is often more effective for processing specific traumatic memories, while neurofeedback is often more effective for regulating mood and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

​

Some people find that they benefit most from a combination of EMDR and neurofeedback. This is because the two services can work together to address both the psychological and neurological aspects of trauma and other mental health conditions.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive and safe alternative to other services. Under the care of a licensed clinician, there should be very minimal to no side effects. Each brain is unique in how it responds to training, and close monitoring by a technician is essential to make the experience as comfortable and relaxing as possible for the client. Please ask during your consultation if this is a concern for you.

The simple answer is yes, by way of neurofeedback increasing the brain's Neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and re-organization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned. Neurofeedback can thus be used as a cognitive training tool to improve, replace, or restore a given cognitive function. It relies on humans’ learning abilities and plasticity. It has been shown that neurofeedback stimulates plasticity by activating well-known reinforcement learning networks.

Neurofeedback works by using sensors to measure the electrical activity of the brain (electroencephalogram, or EEG). The EEG data is then fed back to the individual in real-time, providing them with visual or auditory cues about their brain activity. The individual then learns to modify their brain activity to produce the desired feedback.

​

For example, a person with ADHD may be trained to increase their alpha waves, which are associated with relaxation and focus. A person with anxiety may be trained to decrease their beta waves, which are associated with arousal and anxiety.

​

Over time, with regular neurofeedback training, individuals can learn to self-regulate their brain activity more effectively. This can lead to a variety of improvements, including:

​

• Reduced symptoms of mental health conditions

• Improved cognitive function (attention, memory, focus, etc.)

• Enhanced emotional regulation

• Better sleep quality

• Reduced pain and inflammation

• Improved sports and academic performance

Neurofeedback is a safe and effective service for a variety of conditions, and it has been shown to produce long-lasting results. It is a good option for people who are looking for a non-invasive and drug-free approach.

​

The positive results generated from neurofeedback can be experienced long term. Overall, neurofeedback can be a long-lasting, safe, and effective option, without the risk of side effects that can occur with the use of prescription medication.
