Balance the Mind, Body and Emotions
Biofeedback, sometimes called psychophysiological therapy, is an empirically-supported method for reducing anxiety and lifting depression. Biofeedback also helps transform stress by teaching people how to balance the mind, body and emotions in a way that improves resiliency and promotes wellbeing.
Biofeedback is beneficial for people with anxiety, depression, ADHD (both inattentive and hyperactive types), certain sleep disorders, gastrointestinal difficulties, chronic pain and for people facing stressful life circumstances.
Corporate executives and professional athletes use biofeedback to improve performance: The ability to remain calm yet alert during high-stress situations helps us to make good, informed decisions quickly and with ease.
Biofeedback at Karen’s Office
The type of biofeedback system Karen uses measures and provides feedback about a person’s heart-rate variability–the unique pattern produced by an individual’s heart beats. The client wears a sensor attached to the earlobe that is connected to a computer showing the moment to moment fluctuations within the body. The therapy involves learning techniques that shift the body’s physiology from a state of imbalance to one of coherence. Coherence is the mode when the heart is most in sync with the rest of the body. Biofeedback usually involves 8-12 bi-weekly office visits lasting from 30-45 minutes each. We will work together to determine the specifics of your treatment program based upon your individual goals and needs.
Corporate Wellness: Biofeedback
As part of Karen’s corporate wellness program, a limited number of onsite (at your office) private biofeedback sessions are available for executives. Contact Karen for more information about availability and pricing.
Biofeedback via Skype
After completing a course of treatment in the office, clients may be eligible for purchasing biofeedback equipment together with oversight from Karen delivered via Skype–so they can continue to make improvements at home.
In some cases, the entire treatment program may be completed via Skype. This is an ideal solution when multiple family members would benefit from the therapy, when treatment will require an extended number of sessions, or when geographical distance makes bi-weekly office visits inconvenient.
Please note: Most health insurance only covers sessions provided in the office. Skype is not HIPPA-compliant and sessions may not be fully confidential.
