Bringing Biofeedback Home
Dr. Clatch writes about the "homework" involved in biofeedback, and how it is beneficial in helping manage anxiety.
If biofeedback is chosen as a treatment option, your healthcare provider will require you and your child to complete “homework” assignments. These homework assignments will include training sessions in which you and your child monitor which changes in the environment lead to changes in the way your child’s body functions – i.e., situations that lead to the development of anxiety. In addition, you will need to monitor changes when your child uses certain techniques to relax and calm down.
By identifying what works, your child will be better able to control his or her environment and employ techniques that are effective for reducing anxiety. Over time, your child will learn these behaviors and be able to control anxiety without the help of the biofeedback equipment.
