ILF Neurofeedback
ILF Neurofeedback is a form of brain training that targets very slow brain wave frequencies to promote self-regulation of the central nervous system.
Common Reasons Clients Seek ILF Neurofeedback
1. Relief from Specific Symptoms
​
Clients often seek ILF neurofeedback to address conditions that have been resistant to other forms of therapy or medication, including:
​
-
Chronic anxiety
-
Depression
-
ADHD or ADD
-
PTSD and developmental trauma
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Migraines and chronic pain
-
Autism spectrum challenges
-
TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and concussion symptoms
They are usually hoping to reduce the intensity or frequency of these symptoms without relying solely on medication.
2. Nervous System Regulation
​​
ILF neurofeedback helps stabilize and regulate the autonomic nervous system. Clients seeking this are often experiencing:
​
-
Hyperarousal or hypoarousal
-
Dissociation
-
Emotional dysregulation
Chronic stress or fatigue
​They want better day-to-day emotional stability, improved resilience, and an increased sense of calm or "feeling like themselves again."
3. Improved Sleep and Energy
​
-
Sleep disturbances (insomnia, night terrors, poor sleep quality) are a common reason people seek ILF neurofeedback.
-
Many are also looking for increased mental clarity and reduced fatigue during the day.
​
​
4. Help When Talk Therapy Isn’t Enough
​
-
Some clients have “talked through” their issues in traditional therapy but still feel dysregulated or stuck.
-
They’re looking for a bottom-up or brain-based approach to healing — especially trauma survivors who find verbal processing overwhelming or ineffective.
5. Support for Neurodevelopmental Conditions
​
-
Parents often seek ILF neurofeedback for children with autism, sensory processing issues, or behavioral problems when they’re looking for non-invasive, medication-free support.
6. Minimal Side Effects
​
Clients are often drawn to ILF neurofeedback because it is:
-
Non-invasive
-
Drug-free
-
Gentle and individualized
Many have tried medications and are seeking a more natural, long-term solution.
7. A Personalized Healing Journey
​
-
Clients are often looking for a tailored, intuitive approach rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
-
ILF neurofeedback is adaptive and based on real-time client responses, which appeals to people looking for precision and customization.
“When your brain finds balance, your whole body feels it.”
Studies suggest ILF Neurofeedback helps reduce over-arousal, ease trauma-driven patterns, and improve overall self-regulation.
What Is ILF Neurofeedback and How Does It Work?
Infra-Low Frequency (ILF) Neurofeedback is a gentle, non-invasive approach to helping your brain restore its natural balance. It was developed by Dr. Siegfried and Dr. Susan Othmer, pioneers in the field of neurofeedback who have decades of clinical experience.
Their work built on the growing body of neuroscience showing how brainwaves influence mood, attention, and self-regulation.
​
During a session, sensors are placed on your scalp to measure brain activity. Nothing goes into your brain — instead, the equipment simply “listens” to your brainwaves and provides feedback in real time. This feedback is experienced through subtle changes in sounds, images, or movement on a screen. Your brain naturally responds, gradually learning healthier patterns of regulation.
​
ILF Neurofeedback focuses on the slowest brainwaves (below one cycle per second), known as infra-low frequencies. These deep rhythms play a powerful role in sleep, mood, focus, and resilience.
By training at this foundational level, ILF Neurofeedback can ease anxiety, trauma patterns, and stress, while helping you feel calmer, more centered, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
​
Is There Science Behind ILF Neurofeedback?
​
Yes. Clinical research and systematic reviews suggest ILF Neurofeedback has strong potential to improve brain regulation and emotional well-being. Studies have reported benefits for anxiety, cognitive performance, trauma, ADHD, chronic pain management, and sleep issues, pointing to ILF as a safe and promising tool for long-term self-regulation and healing.
