Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

OGSF is a 10 minute track that you're supposed to run at a volume of 2 out of 15 on an Android cell phone through the speakers.  That's pretty gentle.

So far everyone who has run it seems to be getting good results, IIRC.

I think it should be fine for you.

Ok, let’s hope so

Maybe subscribe for a month and if you have to quit before completing, at least you didn’t pay full price. Otherwise you’re free to buy the whole thing or continue subscribing at your leisure.

Yeah, that’s the plan

I had to balance that thing (OGSF v3) on the razor's edge to be gentle enough and still achieve it's goals.

I'd like to point out, though, that while you may have severe trauma and it may have altered your neurology physically, I disagree that it is now "wired into" your nervous system.  That belief is only making things worse in my opinion, by encouraging your subconscious to create that condition.

Remember that your brain and nervous system are plastic, and can change away from, as well as towards a certain "wiring".  You have to be careful about focusing on, focusing into and repeating things that only make what you don't want to grow stronger.

Until I can build the PTSD sub, I suggest you start working to consciously focus into re-wiring your nervous system away from trauma, not focusing more into it.  And please also understand that there is a big difference between "I have PTSD" and "I am PTSD".  A lot of people take their condition and make it their identity, which only makes it solidify more and more and it becomes harder and harder to release and change when they do.  Your identity should not include or be based on a condition you happen to be experiencing, especially if it is temporary.  And PTSD is temporary until it is changed.  It's just a matter of understanding how to change it.
