Re: Reverse squish?

[Guest guest]

,

Sounds like someone who needed a Windowed Squash instead of a Squish. Before

doing a Squish, I always look at the Histogram to see if there is a " scoop " --an

area where amplitudes are lower than frequencies around it. If someone has lots

of slow activity and lots of fast activity, then the middle will be scooped.

Training down only the fast can result in less than ideal responses.

Sounds like what you did was to train up the SMR (my window on most temporal

windowed squashes would be 8-15 or 10-15 Hz). Roughly the same thing if I'm

understanding you right.

minimally responded to medication. Her assessment indicated very hot temporals

so I started with a 2C squish 15-38 at T3 T4. Within in five minutes she

reported " vertigo type feelings " = dizzy, nausea, and when she opened her eyes

the room was spinning. I was using your " best 10% " design. I decided to

reverse what I had just done, but changed the training Frequency to SMR -- so

this was best 10% SMR up instead of best 10% 15-38 down.

> She felt extremely relaxed, peaceful and calm. First time in her life. Since

then I have used this protocol with best 10% SMR up with another client with

serious anxiety and depression. Same kind of excellent results. I am interested

in how this might actually be working so I might also use it with other clients.

How does the " best 10% squish " work and how does a " reverse " squish train?

Sorry I don't understand the designs that well and need to ask this

question--but need to because the results have been so amazing.
