Hi & thanks for your response.
The woman concerned didn't really promise a "cure", she just felt sure this CD would help me heal, after the 6 months use. She volunteered to help me out, but I'm reluctant..I'm not sure why.
I had been wondering about therapy (and meditation as a form of therapy and a de-stresser), because, whilst my medications mostly control my anxiety, nothing is getting rid of it.I am interested in exploring to see if I have some psychological roots that causes the anxiety. My Pdoc believes that GAD is a different type of anxiety to specific phobias or PTSD, in that there isn't an event or lifestyle trigger exactly. It's more of a brain chemistry thing. I want to explore all options.
I am OK with the thought of taking the meds I'm on for the rest of my life if need be, but (like most of us) I would like to be med free if there is a possiblity of dealing with my GAD a different way. Especially since sometimes it suddenly raises it's head higher than my med regimine handles!
The CD I was listening to isn't just a music or relaxing sounds CD. It has other sound waves, in the inaudible range, piped into each ear....different ones for each ear, that are disguised by chimes and water/rain sounds. It was produced to integrate left and right brain waves & thinking patterns. I didn't know this until after I'd listened to the 2nd track, when I looked up the producers online. I swear I could HEAR the "inaudible" sounds!!!!! The premise being a bit like EMDR I suppose. It definitely made me feel very uncomfortable.
Thanks for the link, maybe a relaxing sounds would be more useful for me as a way to "treat" my anxiety. I'll try it out!
Warmest wishes,
Jas
