Family Role Model

“I have been so greatful that I have learned to use the skills that Dr Fibus’ Transform Your Powerful Feelings Into Positive Passion Program taught in the program, and will persevere to be a model for my family to help them grow and be able to heal their childhood wounds and design their life. I still have a lot to work on to improve myself (empowerment). I strongly recommend the program and will talk about it to friends and colleagues. It is a very wise and good investment for self-development.”

Dramatic Improvement

“Our son was 13 when he was diagnosed with a speed processing problem of severe proportions. School was After just 12 sessions of neurofeedback therapy with Vinni we saw enormous improvement. By then end of 40 sessions, the transformation was remarkable. His verbal comprehension, math concepts and perceptual organization improved dramatically. Most importantly, he’s calm, he can focus and he’s happier.”

Overcoming Anger

“My first and most foremost concern when having initially contacted Dr. Fibus was to find a remedy, once and for all, for my anger issues. I had explained in our first phone conversation that I would do anything to eradicate the ill effects of anger from my life. Anger issues had plagued me for nearly a half a century. The adverse effects of my angry behavior had most definitely spilled into most of my relationships. The consequences of where I was heading as a result of a history of anger issues were becoming quite evident, to me, that I simply had to take whatever action that was necessary in order to achieve a grip on a life long issue.

After having read the information posted on Dr. Fibus’ website that listed the benefits of neurofeedback, I had noticed that the category of anger was one of the most simple to remedy via this technique. Having been familiar with biofeedback since its pioneering days of the mid seventies– yet, never having had partaken in the benefits of the practice — I decided that neurofeedback would be well worth a try.

Bear in mind that my anger issues were rooted in a host of issues. My relationship with my parents and siblings had been tainted for decades as a result of many ongoing dynamics within my family structure. An alcoholic/old school father coupled with a subservient neurotic mother, in addition to a schizophrenic sister and a brother who had molested me when I was nine years old seemed to be enough to fuel the basic requirements for my anger.

In defense of my family — who I am certain did the absolute very best that they could according to what they knew in terms of delivering love (in addition to guilt and insults and abuse) — I have forgiven them for their trespasses: “Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:24). Nevertheless, my experiences with such an upbringing had extreme effects upon how I felt emotionally. Almost every relationship that I had entered, business or personal, was overshadowed with a perceived sense of threat, or lack of acknowledgment on my part toward those with whom I was involved. The consequences became one spoiled relationship after another due to my blowing a fuse over an issue that I deemed as threatening or unappreciated.

Upon delving into Dr. Fibus’ neurofeedback program, I was introduced to Vinni DiNinno. Vinni is the neurofeedback technician who is as dedicated to his profession as Dr. Fibus is to his counseling. Vinni and I had bonded immediately while getting to know each other in the first consultatory conversation. Not withstanding that we had many things in common, my sense of trust for Vinni came very naturally. There was nothing intimidating or insincere about Vinni whatsoever. In fact, a few laughs over some things that we uncannily had in common served as a huge ice breaker for me.

The actual neurofeedback treatment seemed very basic and simple with concern to what I had to do. Simply enough, I would allow Vinni to hook up electrodes to my head before he would show a video on a screen. There were either virtual space ships traveling through some strange tunnel, or cars rolling along various terrain: All of which appeared as a child’s video game. However, the effects that I experienced over time were nothing short of miraculous.

Not being shy of asking questions, I would query Vinni as to what was happening during the process. In short, Vinni would simply explain that in order to keep the vehicle moving smoothly, and allowing the accompanying music to continue playing at a steady volume, I must have my brain frequencies at a level that met the criteria of what is called the “reward frequency.” So, if you could keep the space ship or car moving, and the music playing just right, then your brain was functioning at a frequency level that delivered the reward of keeping the “game” in proper motion.
This all seemed simple enough. In fact, there were many times when my time trials per “lap” or “course” were quite impressive jto Vinni]. But, what was happening? I couldn’t help but to ask. And, Vinni would explain in a way that made sense to me. Essentially, whatever the problem that a client/patient has, the electrodes — which monitor brain wave electrical activity, and do not deliver electrical impulse whatsoever -¬are placed at certain areas of the head/brain regions in order to record activity that is related to a certain behavioral criteria. For example, with anger the electrodes may be placed at certain mapped areas of the brain, whereas with autism, the electrodes may be place at entirely different mapped out areas of the brain. With this being said, I got the gist that certain regions of the brain correspond to certain behavioral patterns.

However, this is what I deem to be the amazing part of the treatment. Since I have learned that the brain has what is called “neuroplasticity” — which is a quality of the brain that enables it to “rewire” itself to different programming and stimulus — then, a behavioral pattern is capable of changing (i.e. from unfavorable to favorable). In essence, and from my layman’s understanding of the process, the brain is capable of rewiring itself from anger to non anger.

Don’t ask me how it works. It just does. After the first twenty treatments, I had discovered that things that would ordinarily rock my boat no longer did. Issues that I had at one time considered to be threatening and deserving of my hostility were no longer an “issue.” I had found myself capable of reacting quite differently from circumstances that would have ordinarily triggered an angry response. It is as if millions and billions of nerve connections had been manually unsoldered from one area of the brain (the anger part), and re-soldered to another area of the brain (the reason part).

After a prescribed course of neurofeedback sessions, I had found myself quite without the same spontaneity. This occurred even through episodes of being attacked, judged and ridiculed by various people in my life after having gone through the course of neurofeedback training.
Does this mean that I don not get angry any more? No. I still find myself naturally being angry at certain warranted situations; the difference being that I no longer find myself acting in the kind of rage and defensiveness that I had used to as if my very life was being threatened. The type of anger that I have experienced since seems to be a much healthier anger: a justified anger void of the adverse behavior that involved a vile temper and hurtful language.

In summary, my experience with neurofeedback has accomplished every single goal that I had wished for with the very onset of my initial concerns with Dr. Fibus. For me, this therapy has changed my life only for the better. I offer my sincerest thanks to both Dr. Fibus, and Vinni for their dedication and service to real people with real needs in terms of behavioral modification.

Dr. Fibus’ biggest challenge was to help us “Get Out Of Our Own Way”. He succeeded triumphantly. No other doctor has accomplished that as competently.

I asked my ex-psychologist if she knew anything about Dr. Fibus, and if so, what she thought of him. With a sheepish grin, the doctor responded by saying, “Dr. Fibus is my personal therapist and he’s great, Go for it.”
“I did and he is”

“He kept our heads on straight when we were fighting about child
custody—He’s an inspiring child advocate and he helped us focus on the real
issue at hand”

Dr. Fibus helped us accomplish what four other doctors weren’t able to achieve. He skillfully dodged our smoke screens and helped us get what we both wanted but were afraid to ask for. Dr. Fibus pulled us through with remarkable empathy and shear tenacity.

From the first minute we walked into his office, it was obvious that Dr. Fibus wasn’t being fooled by our ritualistic defenses. His strength and wisdom made it safe to let go and follow his lead.

I was stunned that my husband was cooperative and willing to make another appointment. Obviously Dr. Fibus has experience working with stubborn and defensive guys like my husband. He knew exactly what to do to put my husband at ease.

It seems odd that we never learned how to do these things earlier, but most of our friends and family never learn how to do them either. These were the people we were allowing to give us advice.

My husband responded well to Dr. Fibus’ firm, unpretentious, take charge strength and obvious wisdom. He was quickly convinced that we were
in the right place and working with someone who knew how to contain
and guide us.
