i eventually sought out neurofeedback with a practitioner while continuing to work with my talk T and i found it incredibly beneficial. it addressed many of my trauma symptoms in ways that years of talking alone in therapy just never ever could. it helped to calm my anxiety, emotional dysregulation and my fears so i could start actually doing and benefiting from the process of talk therapy without becoming triggered and /or highly dissociated. my neurofeedback practitioner was familiar with the proper neurofeedback protocols to use for addressing complex/ developmental trauma and i believe that is one of the keys to increase one's chances for experiencing success from doing neurofeedback.

Bessel van der Kolk talks about neurofeedback in his book, 'The Body Keeps the Score' and it was the therapist, Sebern Fisher, who he talks about in his book whose protocols and methods i used in my own neurofeedback therapy. it was reading about neurofeedback in Bessel's book that encouraged me to seek it out when i felt nothing else was working and i was losing all hope of ever feeling better or healing. it completely changed my life for the better.
