Dave Asprey was on Danica Patrick's podcast and listed his hierarchy (in order) for trauma healing. He didn't mention neurofeedback, but he's a big fan, and I experience it first-hand at 40 Yeras of Zen.

Breathwork and meditation

EMDR

Tantric sex

MDA

MDMA

Ketamine (the forgiveness molecule)

LSD

Mushrooms (lots of variance)

DMT

5MAODMT

Ayahuasca (with a seasoned professional)

I’m curious to hear your experience with these? I’ve researched a lot into psilocybin and ayahuasca/DMT and just think they are far too risky to apply in a clinical setting. I think with good mindfulness practice, neurofeedback is a far greater and safer alternative to psychedelics

You did 40 years of zen whoa, thats so cool!

He mentions it in Work smarter not harder of I remember correctly.

My brother James who wrote the article is a big fan and currently my dad is doing it as well

I really wanna try it as well, I just have other hacks that come sooner as my cognition is pretty solid, however I still want to try the mendi device you wrote about a little while ago

I don't have any experience with psychedelics. I agree there are many other modalities to try before going down that rabbit hole.
