The frequency and number of SoundSelf sessions is best determined by the user, along with their health professional. Because SoundSelf works by facilitating both rapid state change, as well as long-term mindfulness skills training, it is beneficial for users to start with 3-4 sessions per week, then taper down to 2 sessions per week.
For general mindfulness training and stress management:
Starting (and maintaining) a mindfulness practice can be incredibly difficult. SoundSelf makes this easier. A suggested protocol for establishing a mindfulness practice is doing SoundSelf 3x/week, and to engage in any awareness or mindfulness practice on days that SoundSelf sessions are not performed.
For Ketamine- and Psychedelic- Assisted Psychotherapy:
SoundSelf greatly enhances the patient journey for Ketamine and Psychedelic Assisted Therapies. The suggested protocol for these treatments is 3 sessions before dosing for preparation, and 3 sessions after dosing for integration. SoundSelf does not replace psychotherapy but can greatly empower patients in their healing journey.
Additionally, a SoundSelf session directly before dosing can relieve any anxiety, and calm the nervous system of the patient, on the day of the ketamine or psychedelic experience. SoundSelf can be experienced during the "come down" of ketamine and psychedelics, to assist in grounding back in the body, connecting to breath, and to anchor any insights that emerged during the psychedelic experience.
For Mental Health Problems:
SoundSelf is a mindfulness and stress management device and is not intended to treat, manage, or monitor health problems. Research has shown that SoundSelf may be helpful in reducing symptoms of Anxiety and Depression, as well as improving levels of Mindfulness and Well-Being.
When SoundSelf is used in conjunction with other treatments for mental health problems, it may increase the overall patient response by providing nervous system regulation, mindfulness skills training, and psychological insights that empower the person on their health journey.
