My work may draw on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), including Arnold Lazarus\u2019s multimodal approach. Its BASIC I.D. framework considers seven connected areas: Behavior, Affect (emotions), Sensation (physical experiences), Imagery, Cognition (thoughts), Interpersonal relationships, and Drugs and biological factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biological area includes sleep, physical health, medications, and patterns of activity in the body and brain. Biofeedback, EEG biofeedback, or HEG biofeedback may be included when useful for observing and practicing changes in those patterns. These methods can also be chosen without counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/think-well\/201911\/multimodal-therapy-unifying-approach-psychotherapy\">Multimodal therapy and BASIC I.D.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Biofeedback<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biofeedback uses sensors to show changes in body functions as they happen.

The feedback gives you a way to practice regulating those patterns during a session. Depending on your goals, training may focus on attention, emotional regulation, or other aspects of how you respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brain-trainer.com\/what-is-neurofeedback-2\/\">Further reading: About the Brain-Trainer approach<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HEG biofeedback<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HEG also provides real-time feedback for practicing attention and self-regulation, but uses a sensor at the forehead and a different kind of signal. In my practice, HEG training takes less time to do than EEG biofeedback. It can offer a shorter exercise for practicing a shift toward greater focus or a calmer state after emotional activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brain-trainer.com\/support\/resources\/life-heg-training-session\/\">Further reading: Introduction to HEG training<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People come with different goals.
