Last year journalist Katie Drummond, of The Daily, interviewed Staff Sgt. Justin Roberts, who suffers from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) about his experience with neurofeedback.
Katie also did her own neurofeedback session with Sue Othmer, of EEGInfo.

Neurofeedback can help reduce the anxiety clients with PTSD experience, because it helps the brain learn to regulate itself by showing the brain a mirror of itself. Check out this post for more on how neurofeedback works.
