While a single ILF Neurofeedback session can have positive effects, it is not likely to last. For sustained effects you can expect anywhere between 20-30 sessions. Intensives may help kick start this, for example with daily sessions for a week or two, but it is recommended to have 1-3 sessions a week. 

An assessment takes up to 2 hours, which includes an initial neurofeedback session of about 5 minutes. 

A standard Neurofeedback appointment lasts 30 minutes, with the neurofeedback session lasting anywhere between 5-25 minutes. The length of the neurofeedback session increases over time as your brain gets accustomed to the training.

With neurofeedback it doesn't make sense to talk in terms of side effects, rather how your brain trains will either produce more or less of the symptoms. In the initial stages, we are searching for  your optimal brain response, you may notice changes in experiences. For example you may have a more restless night sleep, we then know we need to adjust the training. The effects last around 24-48 hours. In order for sustained effect one needs to have several sessions. In this sense any adverse effects will be short lived, as we will rectify them by the next session. Once we have found your optimal brain response you will start feeling the rewards of the training.

Four sensors are placed on your head during an ILF Nurofeedback session. They are picking up signals from your brain, similar to a stethoscope picking up your heartbeats, these signals are then shown back (fedback) to your brain via screen that you watch so that it can adjust itself. For anyone who used biofeedback tech, it will be the same, you get readings of your temperature, heat rate, sleep quality, and then you can 'do' something to adjust if needed. In the case of Neurofeedback, it's getting readings for how to adjust to better functioning.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to receive neurofeedback. You will see in the literature that ILF Neurofeedback helps with ADHD, Autism, depression, anxiety, pain, eating disorders and PTSD amongst others. Diagnosis are meant for medical professionals such as psychiatrists and doctors, who prescribe medication. Diagoses help them understand which cluster of symptoms they are 'dealing with' to better navigate what medications to prescribe. With neurofeedback we are concerned with your lived experience, the symptoms that bother or hinder you in your daily life,  and they can seem unrelated. For example you may be bothered by headaches and also want to address sugar cravings. You may want to address your irritability and also want to enhance your focus at work. When a nervous system (brain function) is out of whack it can produce a myriad of experiences that hinder your quality of life.
