Recapturing the Intuitive in Therapy and Education Hemi-sync® in Adult Continuing Education

Suzanne Evans Morris, Ph.D. Speech-Language Pathologist New Visions 1124 Roberts Mountain Road Faber, Virginia 22938 (804) 361-2285, [email protected] In 1985 adult continuing education workshops were developed for professionals working in rehabilitation and special education. Between 1985 and 1988, 320 individuals attended twelve small, five-day workshops that incorporated Hemi-Sync signals in background music to enhance participant learning. Following the workshop 96% stated that they were both more relaxed and more attentive than usual during the workshop. In a follow-up questionnaire four months later, 50% of those responding stated that they were using Hemi-Sync tapes in therapy with children and adults. Many participants stated they felt more intuitive and connected with their clients since the workshop. However, this experience was frequently uncomfortable since they lacked the trust and ability to integrate these intuitive “hunches” with the rational approach others expected. From this feedback a new workshop Recapturing the Intuitive in Therapy and Education was born.
