There are so many wonderful stories I could share with you to answer this interesting question about <\/span>biofeedback<\/span><\/b>. But there is one that truly stands out for me, and that is the story of E. A troubled child at first, she became <\/span>happier<\/span><\/b>, more confident, and ready to start school thanks to her loving family and their openness to try biofeedback.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

My mother, who has been a biofeedback practitioner for many years, at one point was approached by the grandmother of five-year-old E. While wonderfully bright, E. was a very unhappy little girl. She would run around the house all day, jumping on beds and tables, and was <\/span>unable to calm down<\/span><\/b>. Each time her mother tried to reason with her, E. became hysterical.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Things continued at <\/span>bedtime<\/span><\/b>. At night, E. tossed and turned, crying, and grabbing her head. In the morning, she would wake up behaving like a frustrated wind- up doll again. In the spring of 2022, E. started having <\/span>incontinence<\/span><\/b> problems as well. This was, understandably, a big turning point for her family especially since she was supposed to start school in the fall.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When E.\u2019s grandmother first contacted my mother, she had become so tired that she was now dreading having her own granddaughter over. \u201cIt makes me so sad,\u201d she said. \u201cMy daughter (E.\u2019s mother) has been so patient and loving with her, but the situation is just getting worse. I am so afraid that she has developed <\/span>ADHD<\/span><\/a>.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Like myself, my mother is always cautious when clients mention ADHD as ADHD can have many causes, and it\u2019s not always clear where a diagnosis is coming from. The fact remains, however, that many <\/span>symptoms<\/span><\/b> of ADHD (or similar conditions) can become easier to handle if biofeedback is involved. My mother invited E. and her mother over to her practice for a try-out <\/span>biofeedback-session<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Young<\/span> children <\/span>are not always able<\/span> to express <\/span>their feelings, because their sense of <\/span><\/span>self-awareness <\/span><\/span>is still developing<\/span>.

he first biofeedback session gave my mother a whole <\/span>series of insights<\/span><\/b> right away. There was so much imbalance in this little girl. There were indications of problems with her elbow, her hip, hydration levels, sugar levels, her bowels, and urinary tract, as well as headaches possibly caused by gastric acidity and cranial misalignment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

E.\u2019s grandmother confirmed that E. had had several bad <\/span>falling accidents<\/span><\/b>, two of which she was taken to the ER for. She knew that E. had bumped her head on a headboard after which she almost lost consciousness. E. had also been regularly rubbing her elbow and hip, most possibly due to the many falls she had, and often reached for her head while screaming as if in pain.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It appeared E.\u2019s <\/span>headaches<\/span><\/b> were coming from two different sources. Combined with the lingering pain in her hip and elbow, not to mention the unbalanced bowel and urinary situation, my mother was not surprised that this little girl was so unable to relax.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Additionally, it turned out E. wasn\u2019t <\/span><\/span>drinking enough water<\/span><\/span><\/a> and h<\/span>er<\/span> sugar intake<\/span> was way too high for her little body to handle<\/span>. Sweets were being used to try and reason with her, and <\/span>she was eating a lot of dairy products to boot.
