Background
This case study follows a woman in her twenties who had recently relocated to the Gold Coast from a small country town following a traumatic breakup. The move marked a turning point and she knew she needed a reset so was actively looking for ways to heal emotionally and rebuild her sense of self. Neurofeedback had been recommended by both her psychologist and several books she’d read on trauma recovery so she felt drawn to try it as a way to support her nervous system and move forward with more clarity.
Her Journey and Results
She began regular sessions soon after arriving on the Gold Coast, using Neurofeedback as part of her self-directed recovery process. From the early sessions, she noticed a subtle but meaningful shift in how she experienced her emotions and thoughts.
She was able to slow down internally and begin truly processing the trauma she had been through without being overwhelmed by it.
She felt a growing sense of general wellbeing, something she hadn’t experienced in months.
Most importantly, she began to detach from her previous situation the emotional hooks and pain points started to loosen, making space for her to reconnect with the present.
As her mind and body settled, she began to engage more confidently with her new life, forming connections and routines that helped her feel grounded again.
Whole Household Impact
While she was living alone, the impact of the Neurofeedback work could be felt in her environment. Her home became more peaceful, her energy more grounded, and her outlook noticeably lighter. For those close to her, the change was clear: she was coming back to herself, step by step.
Conclusion
This young woman’s experience shows how Neurofeedback can support emotional healing after a breakup, especially when paired with therapy and a genuine desire to reset. By helping give the brain information it may need to regulate the nervous system and create space for reflection, Neurofeedback offered her the clarity, calm, and inner momentum needed to process the past and begin building a new chapter in life.
