Neurofeedback for Pittsburgh's First Responder Community

You can train your brain to handle stress just like you train your body for physical fitness. Infra-Low Frequency (ILF) neurofeedback is a completely passive, high-performance training tool for your central nervous system and brain.

Think if your body’s “fight-or-flight” response like a building’s fire alarm. After experiencing high-stress calls, that alarm can get stuck “on,” keeping your mind and body on high alert even when you are safe at home. ILF neurofeedback targets the deepest, slowest rhythms of your brain to reset that system, effectively shutting off the false alarm so you can finally relax and decompress.

Ultimately, turning off that internal alarm is what allows you to get deep, restorative sleep and leave the job at the station. By teaching your nervous system how to shift gears dynamically, you gain the ability to switch off completely when you go off the clock.

This is not counseling or talk therapy. You do not have to talk about your experiences. It is a strictly non-verbal, physical brain training designed to help your central nervous system recover, reset, and perform at its best.
