Innovative approach in psychotherapy and neurobiology: Brain polishing

WISE NEWS PRESS / ISTANBUL, TÜRKİYE — 24 DECEMBER 2025

An emerging method known as brain polishing, which integrates psychotherapy with neurobiological techniques, is gaining attention for its potential to enhance mental health, emotional balance, and cognitive performance.

As modern life places increasing demands on both psychological resilience and mental efficiency, experts emphasize the importance of approaches that address not only emotional well-being but also the brain’s functional regulation. Brain polishing is presented as a complementary method that directly targets brain activity patterns.

Clinical Psychologist Özgenur Taşkın from Üsküdar University NPİSTANBUL Hospital says that brain polishing aims to help the brain operate at optimal frequencies, allowing psychotherapy to deliver faster and more sustainable outcomes.

Brain polishing focuses on optimal brain frequencies

According to Taşkın, brain waves measured through EEG devices provide critical insights into how individuals think, feel, and respond to their environment. These patterns reflect overall brain health and functional balance.

She notes that conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are often associated with irregular brain wave activity.
“Brain polishing targets these irregularities and aims to restore the brain’s ability to function at appropriate frequencies,” Taşkın explained.

Combining neurobiological methods with psychotherapy

Taşkın emphasized that psychotherapy plays a vital role in helping individuals explore their inner world and improve emotional awareness. However, in some cases, therapy progresses primarily at a cognitive and emotional level.

“When psychotherapy is supported by neurobiological techniques such as brain polishing, it becomes possible to intervene directly in how the brain functions,” she said, adding that this integration can lead to quicker and more effective therapeutic results.

She also stated that improving brain wave regulation can help individuals gain deeper insight during therapy and establish stronger emotional balance.

Brain wave training supports performance and productivity

Beyond mental health treatment, brain polishing is also used to enhance well-being and optimal performance. Taşkın pointed out that athletes, artists, and professionals in cognitively demanding fields may benefit from strengthened brain wave activity.

“Training brain waves can improve focus, creativity, and productivity,” she said, noting that the method supports not only external performance but also internal emotional stability.

Regular practice offers long-term benefits

Taşkın highlighted that structured alpha wave training conducted four times a year has shown promising results in supporting brain health and emotional regulation. Such practices, she said, contribute to long-term psychological well-being.

“In conclusion, brain polishing becomes a powerful tool when combined with psychotherapy,” Taşkın said. “By optimizing brain wave activity, this innovative approach helps improve mental health, emotional balance, and overall quality of life, while enabling individuals to reach their full potential.”
