How Neurofeedback Supports ADHD, Anxiety & Emotional Regulation with Doug West
What if improving focus, resilience, emotional regulation, and mental clarity didn't require you to "try harder"?
In this episode of CAMP Conversations, Dayna Haig-Conway sits down with Doug West (MA, DVATI, RCC-ACS)—Head Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor, and Advanced neurofeedback Trainer—to explore how neurofeedback supports the brain's natural ability to self-regulate.

Why self-regulation is foundational to mental health
The surprising connection between neurofeedback and resilience
