When Anxiety Takes Over

Some children (and parents) feel overwhelmed by anxiety. They feel exhausted, and they stressed out. Others can’t concentrate because they are preoccupied with the unpleasant thoughts that keep running through their minds. This constant internal chatter can get so bad that it interrupts sleep and steals away all the joy in life. If you or a loved one doesn’t live in the present, if you or your child constantly worries about the future or lives in the past, FamilyTime Centers can help.

Even if you have sought treatment in the past for symptoms associated with stress, fear, panic, or trauma only to find your anxiety returning the therapists of FamilyTime Center of Valley Village can help. BrainPaintTM neurofeedback training by itself can reduce symptoms; it will also improving focus and concentration so that you (or your family member) can more easily overcome debilitating anxiety by mastering the habits of rational thinking, cognitive reframing, and mindfulness achieved through Cognitive­behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Overcome Anxiety

Cognitive­Behavioral Therapy in conjunction with neurofeedback is a uniquely refined treatment for anxiety disorders. According to large scale research studies, Cognitive­behavioral therapy is as good or better than psychiatric medication for treating anxiety disorders. The cognitive part of this therapy helps people change the thinking patterns that support their fears, while the behavioral part helps people change the way they physically react to anxiety­provoking situations.

Neurofeedback training can help change your brainwaves. It measures the rhythms of your own brain and rewards you when you make more or less of certain patterns. With the proper amount of training, the brain learns to maintain healthier patterns. Learning to correct anxiety by producing healthier neurological patterns takes awareness, practice, and reinforcement.

With brain training, you learn to moderate your response to stress so that anxiety is minimized and occurs less frequently. Neurofeedback helps put the control for your life back in your hands. No one wants to be affected by thoughts and emotions that negatively impact life and that you feel you can’t do anything about. Neurofeedback helps calm the overreactive patterns that make life more difficult and helps you take charge of your life.
