Abstract
Earlier in this book, I made reference to the biofeedback of other autonomic nervous system modalities including muscle tension, thermal (peripheral blood flow) and electrodermal activity, and heart rate variability (HRV). These peripheral biofeedback treatments are often used prior to doing neurotherapy for the purpose of quieting and relaxing the client.
