Show Notes:
In this powerful episode of Bioenergetics Beats, host Heather Gray sits down with Dana Hargus, licensed mental health counsellor and founder of Restore of Ada, to explore how biofeedback and neurofeedback are transforming mental health, trauma recovery, and nervous system regulation. If you’ve ever felt stuck in fight-or-flight mode, hit a healing plateau, or wondered how to reset your nervous system, this conversation is a must-listen.
Dana shares her journey from special education teacher and adoptive mom to neurofeedback practitioner after seeing the limitations and sometimes harm, of traditional mental health medications. Her son’s remarkable transformation through consistent brain training revealed the life-changing potential of this non-invasive approach.
Dana breaks down how neurofeedback works, using real-time brainwave monitoring and visual feedback to retrain the brain toward calm and regulation. This subconscious process helps reduce chronic stress, anxiety, and trauma responses, often leading to rapid improvements in sleep, focus, emotional control, and overall resilience.
Drawing inspiration from Dr. Carolyn Leaf’s research, Dana highlights how our thoughts can directly shape our biochemistry. By learning to shift thought patterns and reframe emotional experiences, listeners can profoundly influence their physical and mental wellness.
Key Takeaways
- Biofeedback retrains the brain to self-regulate, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity.
- Healing requires a multi-layered approach—addressing nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional regulation.
- Thoughts shape biochemistry—shifting your focus can transform your physiology.
- Nervous system healing creates space and resilience for real life to happen with grace.
