Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has tried a sensory deprivation chamber. My T wants me to try it (see trauma on top of trauma thread) and I'm willing, I just don't know what to expect.
All I know is that you float in a chamber so that none of your senses are being stimulated, freeing your mind to work without distractions.

First time I hear it being used in therapy. Though everyday I try to disconnect from externals and have just moments of pure silence.
My mind works better when exposed to external signals, but silence has a way of pointing out some things, kind of downloading, something that is more hidden. Ask your T if you can take acid while in the chamber. I think I would freak the hell out. |

I couldn't do it. I have tinnitus, and the ringing in my ears would defeat the purpose.

I knew I read it somewhere. Apparently I have good unconscious memory. I remember things I dont even know I remember:

Interesting. I will however, be passing on the psychotropic drugs. I'm crazy enough on my own.

This is my first time hearing of it. It sounds really scary and I would not do it, personally, for the simple reason it would only bring back traumatic memories of feeling "trapped" and alone. Are you going to try it?

I intend to. If I don't like it, I can always get back out.
After decades of living with PTSD, I'm a little more open to try new treatments.

Wow! I've never heard of that before, it sounds like fun! But, I also have ringing in my ears but, I'd still wanna try! Will you post about what it's like if you do it?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
