Default Biofeedback

Yes, I tried it, per my psychiatrist. Mine is for anxiety mostly, although I do suffer chronic pain (RSD) and it would probably work for the flare ups. However, when I get the flare ups, that's when anxiety kicks in and when I'm in anxiety-mode I have a hard time concentrating long enough to get benefit from biofeedback/relaxation.

Do you incorporate 'Guided Imagery' with it? That's where you use all 5 of your senses to take you to your 'picturesque' place. Mine was 'the mountains'. I'm supposed to 'smell the pines', 'hear the birds', 'see an eagle soaring above', 'taste the air', 'feel - something', i forget

I can see where it can be a beneficial tool, but like I said it's hard to stick with when anxiety takes center stage. I'm still trying to work on it.
