I know the way to tell is to see if the brain waves are changing, but that doesn’t always translate to positive progress. For example something like reading everyday to tell if adhd treatment is working, or going into a grocery store for social anxiety. I know these are personalized but I need some ideas because I genuinely can’t tell if I’m wasting money.

How do so many of you know it’s working? I see so many people say they feel changes after 5 sessions but I just can’t relate. I’ve done 15 sessions and cannot feel anything.

I’ve currently trained 2 sites in frontal so far, and with both it seems like the markers are showing more slow activity afterwards and showing signs of tiredness. I’m originally doing this for social anxiety, attention and memory issues.

The training was to reduce Delta, theta, alpha, high beta in f7,

and theta, alpha in f3.

Could it be that I’m having an opposite reaction to the treatment? I have a hard time gauging progress and feel more or less the same if not worse, but I feel that this could be because of my life circumstances? Still, I expected to feel some positive difference after 15 sessions over 3 months. Idk
