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.

In this episode, we delve into an often overlooked yet crucial topic: functional depression, also known as high-functioning depression. This condition is particularly tricky to identify, as individuals experiencing it often appear to be managing their daily responsibilities well. I share my personal experiences with functional depression, revealing how our society's hustle culture and instant gratification mechanisms contribute to this pervasive issue. I'll detail 12 signs to help you identify if you or a loved one might be struggling with functional depression, touching on behaviors like self-medication, persistent low mood, chronic fatigue, and difficulty experiencing joy. Additionally, we'll discuss the importance of incorporating somatic healing practices into our self-care routines to address trapped emotions that traditional talk therapy might miss. This episode isn't just about awareness, but also about fostering a grounded, mindful, and healthy lifestyle to combat the increasing rates of depression and health issues.  So, join us as we explore how to recognize functional depression and take steps towards healing ourselves and supporting the people we love. Remember, we heal in community, and it's time to deepen our connections and show up for ourselves and each other. Happy listening!
