AIM to Get Better Through Healing Sound Therapy –

The calming and healing effects of music have been recognised for millennia, and in the UK, health services have employed music therapists for decades. There is a wealth of evidence showing that certain types of music therapy can reduce distressing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, dementia, and sleep disorders. Studies have shown that Healing Sounds Therapy can help to reduce blood pressure, decrease inflammatory chemicals, boost the immune system, and increase “feel-good” chemicals in the brain

How Does It Work?

Stress, anxiety, panic, agitation, restlessness, anger, and aggression are all symptoms of our sympathetic nervous system – our “fight or flight” response being triggered. This response is not under our conscious control; it is an innate survival strategy to a perceived threat. Modern imaging techniques have shown that when this response is triggered, the conscious, rational part of our brain shuts down, or goes into “snooze state”, and our language centre switches off. At the same time, our emotional brain goes into overdrive, making our behaviour and emotional outbursts appear irrational to those standing by .You cannot help a person in this state by rationalising with them or trying to talk to them (because those bits of the brain have shut down). So, what can you do?

.

Telling The Brain’s Threat Response that it can Stand Down

“The most effective way to help is to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, which switches off the “fight, flight, freeze” response, sending messages to the body and brain that the danger has passed and they can “stand down” from the perceived threat.
This can be achieved through a variety of interventions which help to control breathing, promote relaxation and restore a feeling of safety and wellbeing. Healing Sounds Therapy is one such intervention
