Neurofeedback helped our family heal ADHD, anxiety, rage, and trauma without medication. In this episode we sit down with licensed therapist Jillian Wendelin to break down what neurofeedback actually is, how it works, and why it transformed our marriage and our kids.

Our family came to neurofeedback looking for a non-medical alternative for our son. What we found changed everything. Malia healed from years of noise sensitivity and daily fight-or-flight as a mom of four. Jason broke through decades of emotional avoidance. Our marriage shifted in ways five years of counseling never produced. And we did it without putting our kids on medication or under a lifelong label.

In this conversation we cover what neurofeedback is and how it works, the difference between low energy neurofeedback and traditional neurofeedback, what to actually expect from a session, why it helps ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, body pain, sleep issues, migraines, and rage, how it pairs with EMDR and traditional therapy, the “garden and tree” framework for understanding the adjustment period, why this is not woo woo and how to think about it from a Christian worldview, the trickle-down effect on kids when parents become regulated, and why we believe every family should consider this before defaulting to medication.

Jillian is the co-founder of Integrative Wellness Clinic of Nevada and has been a licensed therapist for 15 years. She is one of the most trusted voices we know on this topic and the reason we tell every family we meet about neurofeedback.
