    I believe that this technology exists, but I do not know it exactly works or what companies provide it. Also, as far as I know you do not want the person to fall asleep while relaxing, because that means she is hypoactivated.

    I suggest that you google and check out VIRTUALLY BETTER; they provide virtual reality as part of the treatment for PTSD and it is my understanding they have obtained good results.
    By the way, thank you for your sacrifices for this country.

    School is so stressful for me, every summer I always wonder if I forgot to turn some homework in, pull my hair out about wondering about it, until finally realizing it’s summer, but I can’t imagine what I’d be like if I had been in a war.

    Cool! I’m gonna get a biofeedback next week in Veracruz!… it’s amazing.. but I’ve got a question …
    mi mom did and she wanted an update today but she couldn’t go today so she called the Biofeedback Center in Veracruz and they asked her to relax at home … so she did and slept around 50 minutes … then they called her to tell her that her feedback was successfully done.. so.. how is that possible??. . is it really possible to get a feedback through a satellite system?..

    Smoking pot is one of the worst ways to manage stress and anxiety. You might as well drink a pot of coffee a day because, in the end, that’s pretty much the result you’re going to get…
