In this episode, I spoke with Michela, a therapist who combines traditional therapy with neurofeedback - a technology that helps people understand and work with their brain patterns. She shares how biological understanding can enhance emotional healing, with her clients often seeing 30-70% reductions in symptoms. We dive into fascinating discussions about the future of therapy technology, from using AI to help match clients with the right therapist, to automating the insurance nightmare many practitioners face. Michela offers a thoughtful perspective on how tech tools, from neurofeedback to AI, could help therapists focus more on what matters most - the human connection in the therapy room.
