LENS Therapy
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that uses real-time monitoring of brain activity to help individuals improve their mental health. This innovative treatment has been shown to be effective in addressing a range of conditions, from symptoms of anxiety and depression to ADHD and PTSD.
At Cactus Flower Healing, we utilize the LENS system. LENS (Low-Energy Neurofeedback) gathers electrical activity generated from the nervous system, through the use of placing sensors on the scalp or body, and mirrors this information back in order to disrupt patterns that are no longer working efficiently. This results in addressing the underlying problems that contribute to many mental health symptoms. LENS is a passive disentrainment system that works in seconds and does not require participation from the client.
Neurofeedback has been shown to have many benefits for mental health. It can help sharpen focus, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and even improve sleep quality and performance. LENS has been used to improve struggles with cognition, mood, motivation, anxiety, reactivity, and fatigue. Unlike medication, neurofeedback is a natural and non-invasive therapy, and it can be a great option for individuals who are looking for a safe and effective way to improve their mental health.
What to Expect
During our initial session, you will fill out and discuss questionnaires to assess your presenting concerns and overall physiological sensitivity. This informs our treatment approach and helps us decide on treatment goals. During the LENS sessions, we will use electrodes connected to your head or body to deliver the feedback. The process is painless and works in seconds. After the feedback session, we will discuss your experience, and you will keep track of the changes you are experiencing by completing a Top 10 assessment weekly.
If you are a client of Cactus Flower Healing, your LENS technician and mental health therapist will coordinate your care and discuss any concerns, difficulties, or progress.
