SoundSelf

SoundSelf is a digital therapeutic tool designed to enhance mental health treatment by providing a non-drug psychedelic experience. It is based on evidence-based design principles and psychological science, allowing users to reach altered states of consciousness in as little as 15 minutes. This experience is intended to improve psychological well-being and is supported by pilot studies involving over 15,000 users.

The tool is particularly beneficial for mental health providers and their clients, as it enhances patient engagement and commitment to therapy. By training users in skills such as attention, embodied creativity, and mindfulness, SoundSelf helps optimize therapeutic outcomes. These skills are clinically associated with improved treatment results, making SoundSelf a valuable addition to traditional therapeutic practices.

SoundSelf also improves treatment accessibility by providing a comfortable and preparatory experience for more challenging interventions. It is designed to support therapists in offering transformative and creative healing processes, making it a useful tool for psycho-spiritual preparation and integration work.

The provided research materials support SoundSelf primarily as an immersive, voice-led audio-visual experience that may help induce relaxation and meditative or altered states. Vendor-hosted research and secondary coverage describe pilot findings on brainwave patterns, mood, and mindfulness, but independent clinical evidence is limited. Claims about psychedelic-like states and therapeutic uses are preliminary and should be treated cautiously.
