How do I get the most out of Alevia?
To get the most out of Alevia, focus on relaxing and avoid tracking progress too closely (e.g., counting the "dings" or rewards during the session can increase anxiety). Avoid keeping logs or trying to measure your performance; neurofeedback works best when you let your brain adjust naturally. Simply stay calm, breathe steadily, and allow the process to guide you. The key is to relax and trust the system without overthinking it.
