Basics of Biofeedback Correspondence Course
Our basics of biofeedback course provides the basic materials you will need to know before attending a basic skills workshop. There you will receive hands-on training and learn how to operate the equipment you decide to purchase. This course covers the following topics:
- Definition of Biofeedback - several different definitions from several sources
- Objective and Goals of Biofeedback - including information about most of the widely recognized biofeedback techniques
- History and Development of Biofeedback - and how to legally develop your own scope of practice
- Research - with special emphasis on your personal interests
The Basics of Biofeedback correspondence course covers the following information in four modules and a final examination:
Module One: Biofeedback Definitions and Important Concepts
We organized this course to take you step by step through the important concepts of biofeedback, but you may access these materials in any order you desire. We believe the first thing to understand is what biofeedback is all about. Then learn the important concepts pertaining to biofeedback. We've combined these two things into our first teaching module.
Module Two: Types of Biofeedback Equipment
Once you have an understanding of the biofeedback process and intended uses, the next important thing to understand is the kinds of biofeedback devices used in the industry. Keep in mind most practitioners specialize in one or two biofeedback modalities. Very few use several different or all of the commonly available modalities. Some biofeedback approaches such as quantum biofeedback, bioresonance and neurotherapy require more knowledge than others. Thus, practitioners tend to specialize in one of these areas and not use other approaches.
Module Three: Biofeedback Training Sessions
Now that you have a basic understanding of what biofeedback is and the types of biofeedback equipment available, your next step is to learn about biofeedback training sessions. The biofeedback training session begins when you escort your client into your biofeedback room. The session ends when you conduct your client back out of your biofeedback room. Everything between your initial greeting and final farewell is the biofeedback training session.
Module Four: Complimentary Therapies
Biofeedback practitioners often desire to offer other services as part of their biofeedback practice. Naturopaths, homeopaths, nutritionists and other professionals often desire to offer biofeedback as part of their practice. There are pitfalls to avoid and things to do if you decide to do either.
Final Examination
Final Examination: When you're done with all four modules, please take the final examination to determine how well you understood this material. This test will cover only the basic biofeedback skills discussed in this course material. Experience has taught us this practice test is a good study guide for taking a certification examination. But in addition to this study guide you also need to review professional ethics, professional networking, coaching, informed consent forms and codes of professional ethics.
