Episode 65: Sound Therapy Regulations

In this episode, we dive into an important conversation about regulations in the Sound Therapy space. Niajae addresses common questions, and highlights the potential risks associated with untrained practitioners.

Key Takeaways

• The Current State of Regulation: There is no official governing body for Sound Therapy. Certifications and licenses are typically issued by private companies, not official boards.
• Why Regulation Matters: Without standard oversight, there's a greater risk of harm in this space. Sound Therapy is powerful, and practitioners must understand its impact on mental, emotional, and physical health.
• The Importance of Trauma-Informed Training: Niajae shares examples of potential harm, such as triggering PTSD or overstimulating the nervous system, and how proper training minimizes these risks.
• Addressing Misconceptions: While sound therapy may seem harmless, playing instruments incorrectly or without understanding the nuances of the practice can lead to negative experiences for clients.
