Define Biofeedback:
What sets up increase tension (contraction) in muscles?
Biofeedback Tools:
Feedback for success:
Left Trapezius contraction is elevated
Emotional Brain Therapy: sympathetic system down regulation: done in conjunction w/ chewing system orthopedic
Many patients allow anxiety to control their life. The world is quite gifted at up regulating our sympathetic system, but many patients can upregulate their sympathetic system with negative thinking loops. Have you ever cussed yourself, called yourself names, or piled on "put downs" due to a small imperfection in your personality?
How about those days when the world piles on the negatives (violence, crime, hatred, indifference, prejudice, bias, unloved, ignored, cold, hidden agendas, poor communication). Our sympathetic system can only take so much negative input until we are in overload; especially, if we do not learn enough tools to counter the negative manipulation or our emotional brain.
Purpose Biofeedback:
Many of us are avoid biofeedback because we think it is mental therapy for crazy people. The world crazy is term used to Yet, it the most effective tool for reducing tension in muscles, ever. I understand personally avoided biofeedback because I felt I could handle the skeletons in my closet (phrase for triggers from my childhood). These triggers were the past that was controlling my present world & my future pain. Biofeedback is teaching tools to lower tension in “your” muscles; that’s all. Do you know anyone who could use a few more tools to lower world’s ability to tense up our muscles ?
Counseling necessary in emotional hyjacking and PTSD.
If you choose to see how much the skeleton in your closet is controlling your biochemistry and physiology, be my guest. It is your choose to you reveal this manipulation to yourself. I personally choose to do biofeedback, because I hated the fact that someone’s abuse me in past and was still controlling my biochemistry today. You can believe you have handled these triggers, but if you choose you can begin healing process to emotional brain. Even so, these new tools will help you control the up regulation sympathetic system that comes from these skeletons.

To manage pain, we have to develop our maturity in all four categories:
Do you care that PTSD, child abuse, or high anxiety controls you life and your pain? Only handful of patients with intense passionate desire can seek out the constructive care of therapist instead of drugs of medical care today.
To manage chronic pain, you must build on your strength and shore up your weakness. For example, in child abuse the emotional brain sustains damage making emotional brain malfunction usually with anger-fear-aggression as a protective mode. The emotional brain has hair pin triggers that fire off at seemingly insignificant sight-sound-smell-look-raised tone voice with intense and sometimes violent reactions. For this reason, a significant counseling is required by psychologist who has read "As body Remembers". A good place start is with biofeedback gaining some control over sympathetic system and the emotional brain hyjacking.
