"Psychophysiology is actually simple. What you think affects your brain chemistry and your mental/physical well being. In today's busy world, people often don't listen to their bodies about staying healthy. Combining counseling with psychophysiology/biofeedback has proven effective in treating many stress related syndromes. Clients learn to recognize their individual stress response, develop new skills to allow change in habitual patterns. This process allows clients to become active participants in their own health and wellness, while gaining self-confidence/self-responsibility."
