Biofeedback

Biofeedback involves the use of computer software linked to the body to measure physiological responses such as heart rate, skin temperature, and respiration rate. Sensors provide readings to a computer screen, which can assist individuals to recognise their bodily signs of stress, and the effects of relaxation. This process helps to improve self-regulation and management of anxiety and aggression.
