Releasing trauma through sound therapy
But how can sound therapy support you in releasing trauma?
-
Every cell in our body vibrates. Traumatic experiences can disrupt this natural rhythm, leading to physical and emotional imbalances. Sound therapy introduces specific vibrations that resonate with the body's cells, helping realign and restore their natural frequencies. This cellular-level healing can release stored trauma and alleviate associated pain, anxiety and depression
-
The soothing tones produced in sound therapy, whether from Tibetan bowls, gongs, or other instruments, induce a state of deep relaxation. This relaxation response can counteract the stress and tension often associated with trauma, giving the body and mind a chance to heal.
-
Sound therapy can influence our brainwaves, guiding them from a state of alertness (beta) to more meditative (alpha) or even deeply restorative (theta) states. These altered states of consciousness can facilitate the processing and release of traumatic memories without re-traumatisation.
-
Traumatic events or suppressed emotions can become trapped in our bodies, manifesting as chronic pain, anxiety, or other health issues. Sound therapy offers a safe space to confront and let go of these feelings.
-
Trauma often leads to disconnection from one's body. The immersive experience of sound therapy fosters a heightened sense of body awareness, helping individuals reconnect with themselves and recognise areas of tension or pain
-
Group sound therapy sessions can foster a sense of community and belonging, crucial for those feeling isolated due to their traumatic experiences
