Background
This case study follows a woman in her late forties who was in the early stages of rebuilding her life after leaving a domestic violence situation. Emotionally overwhelmed and carrying the weight of long-term trauma, she began attending weekly Neurofeedback sessions in-office. After 12 weeks, she decided to switch to a home rental system, believing she’d benefit more from having regular access at home. Over the course of her healing journey, she completed 99 sessions – 12 in the office and 87 at home.
Her Journey and Results
The consistency of at-home Neurofeedback became a stabilising force during a deeply vulnerable chapter of her life.
She began to feel a stillness in her mind, a rare and welcome shift that allowed her to engage more meaningfully & practically with professional therapy.
Small, surprising moments of happiness began to rise at random moments in the day.
She gained clarity that helped her untangle the sequence of past events, no longer clouded by confusion or emotional overload.
This sense of mental space allowed her to reflect and make decisions from a more grounded, less reactive place.
Whole Household Impact
She lives with her young daughter, who benefited deeply from her mother’s growing emotional stability. As the chaos and emotional volatility reduced, the home became calmer and more predictable. Together, they began the slow process of reclaiming their lives, this time with more connection, safety, and hope.
Conclusion
This woman’s story illustrates how Neurofeedback after domestic violence can offer a safe, non-invasive path to nervous system regulation and emotional healing. With regular sessions, she found clarity, calm, and enough inner quiet to begin rebuilding her future. For survivors of trauma, Neurofeedback can be an anchor, offering not just relief, but real, usable stability during the long road of recovery.
