Most would come to a different conclusion about NF. Attunement is critical for balance in response and also for balanced initiatives. If you want to have balance in any area, then you need neurological balance. The idea behind most NF is that NF makes you more sensitive and, with that greater awareness, your system tunes itself more accurately and retains balance across more interactions. It's less remedial and more enhancing. OTOH, there are critical situations where neural dysfunction is acute, like epilepsy and TBI. In those cases, NF may be restorative.

I've enjoyed that one. The conversation about the Learning Project book reminded me of the British TV "Up" film series, where ~20kids were interviewed every 7 years about their life's perspectives and priorities. Fascinating to see many different lifes unfold. I've ordered the Learning Project book and look forward to reading it.

About the neurofeedback, "tuning" one's horror/terror triggers down: initially I thought that'd be a neat self-improvement hack. But accepting that we're indeed here to grow and learn means that we need to embrace messages delivered by those malevolent parts - which means neurofeedback adjustments should really only be a last resort tool, e.g. to overcome crippling anxiety?
