The Optimal Performance Program provides long-range help and training for people with specific brain, mind or body limitations or ailments who need to improve, correct or manage the condition. People entering this program are here to improve themselves and become the very best they can be. In essence, we help children and adults to become “Stars in their Own Lives”.

In particular, the program is designed to address:

• ADD and Attention Issues
   
• Stress and Fear
   
• Anxiety and Depression
   

What the Beta Brain Wave Optimal Performance Program Offers:

The answer to this question is a resounding yes! At Beta Brain Wave Clinic our approach balances the use of Neurofeedback with a series of relaxation and physiological techniques specially tailored for children and young adults. The young brain responds rapidly and comprehensively to the training, allowing long lasting resolutions to functional issues.

At Beta Brain Wave Clinic our approach is “child friendly”. Every child is treated as “special”. Each child walks through our door knowing they are coming for optimal performance training. They share their concerns and worries, and practice relaxation while sitting in a comfortable chair. The process takes one hour, twice a week.

For part of the session, they are able to listen to their favorite music, read, play cards or watch a movie. Whenever they are daydreaming, fidgeting, worrying or locked into a fixed brain pattern, the feedback is interrupted. Soon, they learn that the more consistent their breathing is and the more relaxed they become, the easier it is to keep the feedback going.

In conventional medicine, the standardized treatment for ADD is to prescribe stimulant medication exclusively to remedy all behavioral and academic problems. This approach may cause unwanted short or event long-term side effects. There are very effective alternatives to drugs when treating ADD.  Beta Brain Wave Clinic has had great success utilizing Neurofeedback, Interactive Metronome™ and other modalities to create permanent improvement.

What separates the Beta Brain Wave Optimal Performance System from other performance training is the centrality of EEG Biofeedback or Neurofeedback into the training framework. Biofeedback or Neurofeedback are used either instead of or along with medication. Instant and specific feedback on the qualities of brain/mind allows the client to dissolve obstacles to full achievement.

This clinically effective program teaches ADD clients to control their brain waves, regulate specific levels of arousal and awareness within the brain, and sustain those changes indefinitely. It makes the brain more “flexible” and improves its ability to enrich cognitive/intellectual functioning, and enhance relaxation, concentration and focus. In countless cases, ADD clients have been able to reduce their use of psychotropic drugs, or eliminate them altogether.

At Beta Brain Wave Clinic we are interested in the client’s experiences with attention over a period of time. Of most importance is how the client feels about difficulty in attending and their identification as someone who is “different”. While we are interested in all of the efforts the individual has made, our primary focus is their willingness to engage and commit fully to the training, because this is a major determinant of a successful outcome.

Everyday life is filled with pressure, deadlines, and uncertainty. While you may be able to “handle it” most of the time, there is often a cost ranging from a general inability to truly enjoy life, to the extreme of living with mood shifts that make it nearly impossible to live a happy, productive life.

Anxiety, depression, stress and fear are the body and mind’s response to any pressure that disrupts its normal balance. It occurs when our perception of events doesn’t meet our expectations and we are unable to manage our reaction. It may seem as though outside events are the source of the disturbance, but in fact these imbalances are really caused by our emotional reactions to events.

The Beta Brain Wave Optimal Performance Program will show you how to open your mind and conquer anxiety, depression, stress and fear safely, without drugs, using advanced Neurofeedback techniques.

How Does Beta Brain Wave Optimal Performance Program Help?

Anxiety, mood swings, sadness and fear become entrenched patterns in the brain. Repetitive thoughts, irritations, sadness, judgments and patterns are “locked” in the brain’s timing. Thus the initial response to change and to the environment becomes “fixed”. Most people see these reactions as normal or unchangeable but, in fact, it is quite possible to reprogram your responses and clear out these old, stuck patterns.

In the Optimal Performance Program, you will learn the Relaxation Process and concurrently begin your Neurofeedback training. Your brain will use visual and auditory information to re-organize itself and release old patterns of “stuckness”. The result is effortless. Fears, anxieties and mood instabilities will begin to diminish. You will feel more clear and present in your daily life, experiencing a greater ability for focus and awareness and an increased sense of lightness and joy. The training also utilizes Mental Imagery, Open Focus®, Inner Journey work, and Coaching.

Stress and anxiety are not limited to adults.

Pressure to succeed, frequent exposure to graphic violence, low self esteem and an unrelenting array of social pressures are causing children to experience the harmful effects of stress - and it’s happening earlier and earlier in their lives. Psychologists and psychiatrists across the nation have attributed this growing phenomenon to the unrelenting pressure being exerted on today's youth by the society they live in.
