Has anyone tried neurofeedback for intrusive thoughts?

I started getting neurofeedback in 2013 (I was depressed). I think, that I first started getting intrusive thoughts in 2014 (the beginning of 2014). I stopped all treatments around the end of 2014. I think that I remember coming back and doing some (?) neurofeedback again around probably mid 2015 to Spring-ish of 2016. I don't think that the neurofeedback helped with the (intrusive) thoughts however. I think that he might have said something to the time though that, "your mileage may vary" (so different minds respond differently I think is what he was trying to say).

What did help for me? I think CBT and ERP helped. I also seem to think that psychodynamic therapy has helped me, maybe even quite a bit.

Hope that helps
