"Mike and his colleagues hereby offer a lucid guide on neurofeedback's vast capacity for helping people achieve their full potential." - Bessel van der Kolk M.D., #1 New York Times bestseller author of The Body Keeps The Score You Are Not Broken. Your Brain Is Built to Change. If you or someone you love has faced trauma, anxiety, ADHD, autism, chronic pain, learning challenges, concussion symptoms, or other brain-related difficulties—and nothing has truly helped—you’re not alone. The Mind Rewired takes a different approach. Rather than providing clinical theory or self-help exercises, this book shares 25 powerful real-life stories of people whose lives changed when they discovered neurofeedback and other brain-based approaches. Many had spent years searching for answers. Some had tried medications, therapy, or other treatments without lasting relief. Others had been told “nothing more can be done.” Through these deeply personal stories, you’ll meet people who: • Worked through trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction • Overcame insomnia , panic, and obsessive thinking • Recovered from concussion, stroke, long COVID, migraines, and chronic pain • Restored memory, clarity, and cognitive function Their journeys reveal what can happen when the brain learns to regulate itself more effectively. These stories don’t claim the same outcome for everyone. But they show what can become possible when the brain begins to function differently. Who This Book Is For This book may resonate if you or someone you care about: • Feels stuck despite trying many approaches • Wants to understand how the brain can change through neuroplasticity • Is curious about neurofeedback and brain-based healing • Finds hope in real-life stories of transformation Neurofeedback is a brain-training approach that uses real-time feedback from brain activity to help the brain learn healthier patterns of regulation. For decades, clinicians around the world have seen people experience meaningful improvements—even when other treatments had failed. The Mind Rewired explores those possibilities through real human stories . Discover how people unlocked the brain’s natural ability to learn, adapt, and heal. "Neurofeedback has been one of the most overlooked effective interventions to help the brain with optimal functioning. Mike and his colleagues offer a lucid guide on its vast potential for helping people achieve their full potential." — Bessel van der Kolk, MD , author of The Body Keeps the Score "As a neurologist with four decades of experience, I've seen how challenging it can be to address underlying brain dysregulation through conventional approaches alone. The Mind Rewired shares real-life stories that mirror what I've witnessed in practice—meaningful, lasting improvements in both children and adults. When delivered in coordination with medical care, neurofeedback can become part of a broader strategy. This book offers a thoughtful, science-informed perspective for patients and clinicians seeking options beyond symptom management." — Robert P. Turner, MD , Neurologist; Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics & Neurology "As a child and adolescent psychologist specializing in EEG-based diagnostics and biomarker research, I have witnessed firsthand how neurophysiological approaches can transform lives when conventional treatments fall short. The Mind Rewired captures exactly what many of us see in clinical practice: patients who have struggled for years finally finding relief when the brain's dysregulation is addressed directly. Michael Cohen translates complex neuroscience into compelling stories that resonate with patients, families, and clinicians alike." — Dr. Andreas Müller , Child and Adolescent Psychologist; CEO, Brain and Trauma Foundation (Switzerland) "This is a compelling and hopeful book filled with real stories of people whose lives changed through neurofeedback. As a physician, I have long been perplexed by how underutilized this approach remains. The Mind Rewired clearly illustrates how helping the brain function more effectively can lead to better choices, better outcomes, and an improved quality of life." — Margaret Bason, MD "The authors share real-life cases that reflect the wide range of struggles clinicians see daily. The stories are concise, relatable, and hopeful, allowing readers to recognize their own challenges. As a psychologist who has provided neurofeedback for decades, I appreciate how realistically this book represents both the potential and the limits of the approach." — Glenn Weiner, PhD , Licensed Clinical Psychologist "After years treating patients in mental health and neurological crisis with few long-term solutions to offer, I turned to neurofeedback because it provided an approach I had not seen before. The Mind Rewired introduces this work through genuine, highly readable patient stories. This book deserves a place in healthcare waiting rooms becaus
