Course description

This training provides a comprehensive introduction to Infra-Low Frequency Neurofeedback (ILF-NF). Participants will learn how dysregulation presents in the nervous system, how ILF-NF supports self-regulation at a foundational level, and how to thoughtfully integrate this modality into clinical practice.

While the course is grounded in trauma-informed care, it also explores how dysregulation manifests across a range of clinical presentations, including anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, addiction, and other mental health symptoms. This allows clinicians to understand ILF-NF as a regulation-based approach that can be applied across diverse client populations.

This course bridges theory and application, equipping clinicians with both conceptual understanding and practical skills to support their clients.

Essential teaching content

Foundations of ILF Neurofeedback and Endogenous Neuromodulation
Understanding dysregulation across clinical presentations (trauma, anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction)
Intrinsic connectivity networks (DMN, SN, CEN) and symptom expression
The role of the optimal reward frequency (ORF)
Clinical application of ILF-NF across presentations
Integrating ILF-NF within existing therapeutic frameworks
Safety, pacing, and trauma-informed implementation
Exploration of Bee Medic's "Cygnet" software, efficacy with connection (understanding impedance), and practical application

After the course you can

Begin integrating ILF-NF into clinical work with diverse client populations
Understand the neurobiological basis of dysregulation across a range of mental health conditions
Explain how ILF-NF differs from traditional neurofeedback approaches
Recognize how symptoms such as anxiety, dissociation, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation may reflect underlying regulatory challenges
Apply trauma-informed and regulation-based principles across presentations
Feel more confident working with complex trauma

Course highlights

Trauma-informed, with broad clinical application
Integration of neuroscience with real-world practice
Applicable to ADHD, autism, addiction, anxiety, PTSD, and complex trauma, and more
Supportive learning environment
Opportunity for live Q&A and case-based discussion
Emphasis on practical integration—not just theory

She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree, a Clinical Traumatologist Certificate, and a Professional Post-Graduate Trauma Certification. Lucie is also a Doctoral Candidate (Ed.D) in Community Care and Counselling, specializing in Traumaology. She is a certified NARM, DBR, and Neurofeedback Therapist who works with clients from a psychoeducational and neuroscience-informed lens.   Lucie has received training in traditional neurofeedback, LENS neurofeedback, ILF-Neurofeedback, and Master’s-Level ILF Neurofeedback. She is highly impressed with the results her clients have achieved in relatively short periods of time, and is driven to teach her techniques to the masses to create meaningful change in the world. Her dissertation also focuses on integrating ILF neurofeedback into clinical practice with clinicians working with clients with complex trauma.   Lucie is thrilled to be practicing her craft with her own courses via Heal Psychotherapy. She enjoys teaching on the neurobiology of trauma and guiding clinicians in the practical application of neuroscience-focused methods to (re)balance the sense of self and regulate the nervous system.   She looks forward to seeing you in class!

Profile

Advancing EEG research and clinical applications through pioneering work in brain mapping and diagnostic methods Dr. Andreas Müller leads groundbreaking research in brain function applications for mental health diagnostics and treatment. As CEO of the Brain and Trauma Foundation since 2006, he has pioneered objective diagnostic methods that bridge the gap between neuroscience and clinical practice. His collaborative work with renowned neurophysiologist Yuri Kropotov led to the creation of extensive normative databases, including EEG recordings from 375 healthy young children, 825 adolescents and adults (age range 5-89) with additional data from Norway and Russia. This comprehensive database has become a cornerstone for quantitative comparisons in mental health diagnostics. His team was the first in the world to publish and apply AI models for classifications in the field of ADHD for the endophenotype. Dr. Müller’s research has demonstrated unprecedented accuracy in diagnosing ADHD through brain function analyses, achieving nearly 100% accuracy in medication response prediction. This methodology has since been expanded to understand and treat chronic pain, anxiety, and PTSD, reflecting his commitment to practical clinical applications. Professional Experience: - CEO, Bündner Brain and Trauma Foundation (2006-present) - Former Head of School Psychological Service Graubünden - Headed 3 clinics in Switzerland International lecturer (South Korea, United States, Israel, Brazil) - Pioneer in Brain function analyses - Developer of normative brain databases - Developer of classification for mental diseasesResearch Focus: - Objective diagnostic methods for mental disorders - ADHD diagnosis and treatment optimization - Applications in emotional dysregulation models to diagnose depression, hypomania, chronic pain, anxiety and human sensitivity - Integration of neuroscience with clinical practice

This webinar introduces clinicians already familiar with biofeedback and neurofeedback to a powerful next step in brain-based assessment: the HBImed database and its automated Report Generator. Participants will learn how raw EEG and event-related potential (ERP) data can be transformed into clinically actionable reports that inform diagnosis, treatment planning, and neurofeedback protocols.
