The Drug Free Alternative for stress relief.

Recent developments in both Cognitive Behaviourial Psychology and Harmonic Frequencies have resulted in a new drug-free approach to the problem of stress. Behaviourial Psychologists have long treated anxiety, phobias and other psychological conditions which are characterized by increased autonomic arousal. The sweaty hands, dry mouth, cold feet, tense muscles and accelerated heart rate of the fearful flyer and anxious dental patients are familiar physiological manifestations of anxiety and emotional distress.

When the patient learns to reduce his anxiety, he is also learning to lower his blood pressure, slow down his heart rate, reduce the tensions in his muscles, increase the blood flow to his extremities and in other ways control the activity of his autonomic nervous system. When the patient learns to control his autonomic nervous system, he is controlling his stress. He is controlling his emotions.

Many if not all stress related and psychophysiological disorders involve autonomically innervated organs, and consequently many psychosomatic disorders have been demonstrated to be amenable to stress reducing behaviourial procedures. Biofeedback, hypnosis, deep muscle relaxation and other methods have been used to treat migraine headaches, muscle spasms, essential hypertension, P.V.C., angina, spastic colon, Raynaud's syndrome, sympathetic reflex dystrophy and many other physical disorders associated with sustained autonomic arousal.

Stress control took on new importance as studies began to indicate that disease processes such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases and other physical disorders might be manifestations, to the point of end organ pathology, of chronic sustained autonomic activity. Other studies suggested the involvement of chronic autonomic arousal with the exhaustion and breakdown of the immunological response and the production of carcinogenesis.

It is no longer enough for health care professionals to simply educate patients about stress. It has become necessary to develop practical methods of controlling and reducing stress. Methods which involve the patient in his own treatment and recovery. Methods which utilize the power and success of techniques such as classical conditioning, hypnosis, biofeedback and cognitive behaviour therapy as well as Therapeutic frequencies.

PsychoHarmonics, a drug-free application, using cognitive behaviourial techniques and therapeutic harmonic frequencies has been developed in Canada and has been demonstrated to produce positive results.

PsychoHarmonics employs indirect suggestion and visual imagery to induce a therapeutic relaxation response which reciprocally inhibits sympathetic autonomic arousal. It is a classical conditioning procedure, counterconditioning stress with a relaxation response which is physiologically incompatible with stress. Fortified with therapeutic harmonic audio, a Psycho-Active response occurs. It creates a psychological process which actively conditions and reinforces the relaxation response, with repeated use strengthening the conditioning effect.

PsychoHarmonics may be used to reduce stress in dental offices, waiting rooms, airplanes and in other situations where stress is encountered. It provides effective relief from muscle tension, anxiety, agitation, and insomnia. It is indicated for the treatment of low back pain, tension headaches, hypertension, anger management and other stress related disorders.
