Stress One can hardly pick up a newspaper, magazine or watch TV without seeing or hearing some reference to stress. Why all of the sudden fuss and fascination? After all, stress has been around since Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden. Is it because there is much more stress today? Is it because the nature of contemporary stress is somehow different and more dangerous? Or is it because scientific research has increasingly confirmed the crucial role stress can play in causing and aggravating different disorders and the diverse mechanisms of actions responsible for mediating its multitudinous effects? The answer to all of these questions is a very resounding "YES!" There are too few effective treatments available for stress, until now with Sound Wave Therapy (SWT). SW Institute has spent years researching the causes of stress and how to most effectively treat it with sound. SWT is becoming more accepted by modern medicine everyday due to the mountain of scientific data that continues to be gathered and clearly indicating a HUGE ratio for success in treating people suffering from high or low levels of stress. SWT is being seen in different forms and called different things with different levels of success all over the web. However there is no SWT that combines the following two elements that maximize success; The science of triggering brain waves using specifically designed frequencies that cause stress and re-tuning them to relieve you.

One of the reasons this combination hasn't been performed yet is partly due to the expense of hiring all the necessary musicians, writers, producers and then to find the road to work synergistically with the science behind beating stress and other disorders. After years of research and months of work putting it all together the work has been completed and tested showing better results than what was originally expected!

Music Therapy; "The same process may help explain music's ability to lower heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rates--and thereby ease stress, says Deforia Lane, PhD, director of music therapy at the Ireland Cancer Center, University Hospitals in Cleveland. More on stress Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. As Hans Selye (who coined the term as it is currently used) noted, "Without stress, there would be no life". However, just as distress can cause disease, it seems plausible that there are good stresses that promote wellness. Stress is not always necessarily harmful. Winning a race or election can be just as stressful as losing, or more so, but may trigger very different biological responses. Increased stress results in increased productivity -- up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. It's very much like the stress on a violin string. Not enough produces a dull, raspy sound. Too much tension makes a shrill, annoying noise or snaps the string. However, just the right degree can create a magnificent tone. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress that allows us to perform optimally and make melodious music as we go through life. Acute Stress Disorder - SYMPTOMS Acute stress disorder is most often diagnosed when an individual has been exposed to a traumatic event in which both of the following were present: The person experienced, witnessed, or was confronted with an event or events that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of self or others The person's response involved intense fear, helplessness, or horror either while experiencing or after experiencing the distressing event, the individual has 3 or more of the following dissociative symptoms A subjective sense of numbing, detachment, or absence of emotional responsiveness A reduction in awareness of his or her surroundings (e.g., "being in a daze") Derealization Depersonalization Dissociative amnesia (i.e., inability to recall an important aspect of the trauma) The traumatic event is persistently re-experienced in at least one of the following ways: recurrent images, thoughts, dreams, illusions, flashback episodes, or a sense of reliving the experience; or distress on exposure to reminders of the traumatic event. Acute stress disorder is also characterized by significant avoidance of stimuli that arouse recollections of the trauma (e.g., avoiding thoughts, feelings, conversations, activities, places, people). The person experiencing acute stress disorder also has significant symptoms of anxiety or increased arousal (e.g., difficulty sleeping, irritability, poor concentration, hypervigilance, exaggerated startle response, motor restlessness). For acute stress disorder to be diagnosed, the problems noted above must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning or impairs the individual's ability to pursue some necessary task, such as obtaining necessary assistance or mobilizing personal resources by telling family members about the traumatic experience. The disturbance in an acute stress disorder must last for a minimum of 2 days and a maximum of 4 weeks, and must occur within 4 weeks of the traumatic event. Symptoms also cannot be the result of substance use or abuse (e.g., alcohol, drugs, medications), caused by or an exacerbation of a general or preexisting medical condition.
