Bringing Neurofeedback to the Congo

L anier Fly, who’s been using neurofeedback at his Newport News, Virginia practice Fly Family Therapy and Neurotherapy for 15 years, believes that he received a higher calling to use his skills to help the people of the Congo. He prepared a team of five colleagues to travel to the Bukavu in eastern Congo. Lanier and his team worked with a local hospital, teaching medical professionals how to use neurofeedback in addition to other types of therapy to aid sexual assault victims and those experiencing PTSD symptoms in the community.

Lanier’s son David, along with their colleagues, chronicled their incredible journey in the Congo and will be posting their experiences on the Fly Family Therapy and Neurotherapy blog at flytherapy.com.
