Neurofeedback Therapy

Gently Supporting Your Healing Process

Support Your Recovery from Sexual Abuse Trauma –

You are not alone. Healing is possible.

Sexual abuse trauma can affect not only your emotions and memories — but also your nervous system and brain. Neurofeedback offers a gentle, supportive way to help your brain shift out of survival mode and move toward healing. It’s safe, non-invasive, and guided by experienced therapists in a trauma-informed setting.

Neurofeedback is a scientifically supported method that helps your brain learn to regulate itself. By monitoring brain activity in real time, it provides gentle feedback to help your brain move toward more balanced and calm patterns. Sessions are guided by trained professionals who check in with you, get to know how you’re feeling, and work together with you throughout the process of overcoming the neurological impacts of trauma.

How Neurofeedback Can Support Trauma Recovery

neurofeedback
  • Reduce Anxiety & PTSD Symptoms – Settle the overactive “fight, flight, or freeze” response

  • Regulate Sleep – Help your nervous system rest and recover, naturally

  • Improve Emotional Stability – Build inner calm and resilience over time

  • Support Recovery from Flashbacks & Triggers – Support your brain in processing and regulating trauma memories

  • Encourage Focus & Clarity – Reconnect with the present moment and your own sense of self

 

Who Delivers the Sessions?

All neurofeedback sessions at One in Four are carried out by our clinical team who have been trained by and are in ongoing supervision with a BCIA accredited supervisor in Boston Neurodynamics Mental Health Services.

Each practitioner works with you to understand how you’re feeling, tailor the sessions to your needs, and offer ongoing support throughout the process. In accordance with our high standards of practice, our NFT programme is supported by leading edge technologies from Thought Technologies and we receive ongoing support from Deymed Diagnostic.

“NFT showed my brain there was another way to feel. Obviously, the transformation wasn’t instant. It took a lot of dedication, tenacity, conductive gel, and nurturing by the good souls at One in Four. NFT helped me face my past, both known and unknown, and feel OK with both. Simply put, and at the risk of sounding dramatic, if it weren’t for the intervention of Neurofeedback Therapy, I’m not sure where I would be at this juncture.” – Lola
