     Patricia Joudry, a Canadian author underwent the Tomatis treatment in the late 1970s and experienced total relief of her chronic insomnia, exhaustion, writers block and the listening disorder for which she was first referred to the treatment, "The Cocktail Effect", which is the inability to discriminate between different sounds in a noisy environment.

     Joudry then linked up with some Benedictine monks in Saskatchewan who had trained with Tomatis specialists and were using his method in their special school. The monks offered their full support and facilities to Joudry to put out the Tomatis method on cassette for use with a personal cassette player with a good frequency response. S

     Through the advent of the self help system, Sound Therapy became accessible all over the world. The Joudry method overcame the three major obstacles to widespread success for the Tomatis method, access, affordability and long term use. The long term treatment made possible by this method extended its effectiveness into the arenas of hearing loss, tinnitus and the long term treatment of many neurological and stress related disorders. Patricia and Rafaele Joudry's book, Sound Therapy: Music to Recharge Your Brain, tells the full story of the development of the self help method. Now in its tenth edition.

     Once the Joudry Sound Therapy cassettes were on the market (at that time it was analogic sound cassettes because digital sound erases high frequencies; in 2006, a new way to engrave high frequenies sounds was discovered) reports started coming in of unexpected results. People reporting recovery from depression, insomnia, chronic fatigue, tinnitus and hearing loss. The longer term treatment made possible with the portable system meant results were being maintained and more benefits were being discovered.

     She then spent some years in England raising a family and devoted herself to esoteric study and more serious writing. Her published works include two novels: The Dweller on the Threshold , and The Selena Tree , two autobiographical books , And the Children Played and Spirit River to Angel's Roost: Religions I have loved and left , and a non-fiction book, Twin Souls , co-authored with Dr. Maurie Pressman.

     Due to sound sensitivity, Patricia's life was an obstacle course of fearsome noise. The resulting stress meant chronic exhaustion and years of insomnia. Unexpected events led to the discovery that changed her life. Just a few weeks of Sound Therapy meant peaceful sleep and a new breakthrough in energy she had never dreamed possible. Patricia's self help Sound Therapy has helped thousands and found its way by word of mouth to over 45 countries.

Comparisons

How does Sound Therapy differ from other therapeutic listening programs on the market?

Rhythm versus Frequency

     A number of other sound applications have been developed using specific rhythms to entrain the brain and induce greater states of relaxation. (Essentially entrainment means the brain waves are slowed down and brought into synch with the rhythm of the music or sounds.) These may be seen under the names of SuperLearning, Holosynch or Hemisynch among others.

     Sound Therapy is different to these programs because it uses varied frequencies to physically reactivate the ear. By stimulating and enhancing ear function, the therapy has a profound restorative effect on the brain and the entire nervous system. Sound Therapy impacts on many ear related and neurological conditions not addressed by other methods.

     Since the ear responds to sound whether we are conscious of it or not, Sound Therapy does not require conscious attention to work. Hence it can be played as you are engaged in other activities, unlike the entrainment programs which require your full focus to be effective.
