"Evidence with neurofeedback suggests that trauma-informed treatment should also be brain-informed treatment- and not just to know that the brain is an issue, but to work with it directly.” Sebern Fisher, Neuofeedback in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: Calming the Fear-Driven Brain.

Sebern F. Fisher, MA,is a psychotherapist and neurofeedback practitioner in private practice who specializes in attachment issues. She trains professionals nationally and internationally on neurofeedback, neurofeedback and attachment disorder, and the integration of neurofeedback with psychotherapy. Sebern discovered neurofeedback for her own brain in the spring of 1996. She went into full time private practice in 1997 and began to integrate neurofeedback with psychodynamic psychotherapy. Her book, Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: Calming the fear-driven Brain is a direct result of this work. Sebern trains and consults in the implementation of neurofeedback and on the integration of psychotherapy and neurofeedback nationally and internationally.
She is recipient of the 2017 recipient of the International Society for Neurofeedback (ISNR) and Research (ISNR) M. B. Sterman Award for Career Achievement in the field of Neurofeedback and the 2013 recipient of ISNR's Joel Lubar Award for contribution to the field of neurofeedback. More about Sebern Fisher and her work.
With brain wave training, she writes, "Now, we can reach what so deeply afflicts people who have suffered these childhoods; primal terror, shame, and rage. It is hard to imagine what mental illness would look like were everyone able to quiet fear, shame, and rage."
