Mental Health and Sound Therapy
A drug free treatment offers psychological support
Some of the most poignant and remarkable stories come from those with psychological or trauma induced disorders. For some of these individuals, Sound Therapy has been a lifeline, achieving relief they found impossible through any other method.
Reba Adams, a registered Nurse from Dallas Texas, shared the remarkable story of how Sound Therapy helped her daughter.
”The psychiatrist told me, “Your daughter is a schizophrenic and always will be.” At the age of sixteen she underwent a complete personality change as a result of a severe hypoglycaemic attack and a fall in which she struck her forehead on a filing cabinet. From being active and popular, with a wonderful sense of humour, she became irritable and suspicious, dropped her friends and became a regular recluse.
She would not talk on the phone nor eat at the table, but took her meals to her room to eat behind closed doors. Her co-ordination was poor, very mechanical, like a doll. She became unable to sleep and would go days without even an hour’s sleep. That was ten years ago.
“She has been doing Sound Therapy for six months now and is better in so many ways I hardly know where to begin. She will initiate conversations again, and occasionally I hear her deep joyous laughter that I have missed so much these past years. She is calmer, and has obtained her driver’s licence.
“She has started work on her education, with the assistance of a tutor provided through a special program, and she uses her Sound Therapy in class. The Sound Therapy is worn from the time she gets up until bedtime every day. She has come so far that I really cannot say enough about this wonderful therapy.
“Now I have begun an experiment with a man who has been in and out of psychiatric wards for the past twenty-five years. He is presently home but goes to a day care centre. He has been listening for two weeks now, and says his depression is lifting, and also says, ‘I feel alive between my ears for the first time in twenty-five years.’ He wears the Sound Therapy to the day care centre, Veteran Administration Hospital, where one of the psychiatric nurses also is using Sound Therapy.”
