Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a learning tool available at Student Counseling Services that helps us observe the body’s physiological responses to everyday events. Once we are aware of these stress reactions, we can learn to change our body’s response through biofeedback training, which often results in greater relaxation, focus, and healthier coping strategies.
The Biofeedback program is open to all students currently enrolled in classes. To start your biofeedback experience, visit SCS during business hours and complete a video-based orientation. After completing the orientation, you can come back any time during business hours to continue using biofeedback services.
