Conditioning therapy would be doing various touches to your head. If might start with telling you he is going to touch your head without you knowing when. Then, a tap. Some you know are about to happen. Others are without you having a sense of when. The goal is to help you learn to not react to the touches then taps and even bumps.

It may take quite a few light touches over time before you can progress to taps. You may need to even get used to tapping your own head.

CBT would entail retraining your thoughts in response to a head contact. It would fit well with conditioning therapy.

"What was that ? Oh, that was just a touch."

The point is to change the response from "Was that a concussion?" to "That was just a touch or tap." Eventually, you should be able to define it as "Just a bump." It may help to externalize the thought to "Stop that." or some concept that is not about your head.

You want to stop the "Was that a concussion?" response.

It sounds like the neuro-feedback is trying to help you learn relaxation and focus skills.
