(Lander, WY) – The Today in the 10 Mental Health Monday segment, which is hosted by Vince Tropea and airs on KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM, continued today with guest Stacy Strasser.
Strasser recently opened Harmony Mindshift here in Lander, (located at 1255 West Main Street) which offers two modalities, PSYCH-K and Bio-Tuning, that aim to “transform the mind and regulate the nervous system, enhancing a person’s health and well-being.”
In addition to using the PSYCH-K and Bio-Tuning methods, the goal of Harmony Mindshift is to identify each individual’s frequency that puts them into homeostasis regarding the autonomic nervous system, by using a gravity-free “Neuroacoustic Sound Chair” designed by NASA and software developed by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.
While sitting in the chair, which emanates soothing sounds and vibrations, Strasser monitors the individual’s heart rate, as well as potential transitions between the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous systems, which indicate your fight or flight/normal stress levels, and helps determine whether or not you suffer from chronic stress.
The software also determines the frequency of your cells regarding your autonomic nervous system, which, if too low, lets Strasser know there is “dis-ease” somewhere in your body and that it’s time to go see your medical provider.
I (host Vince Tropea) was able to test out out the chair prior to the interview, and while my heartrate was in the normal/healthy range and my cell frequency checked out fine, my 30 minute session proved that surprise surprise, this reporter/interviewer suffers from chronic stress.
For most of the session I was in the sympathetic (fight or flight) mode, with one brief crossover into parasympathetic, which, as Strasser put it, means my body is currently “stuck in that chronic stress,” but is capable of being receptive to the parasympathetic mode.
Strasser then explained that individuals in this chronic stress mode need to address/alleviate it in whatever way that works for them (more dog walks and hiking/fishing trips are now planned for the future for me).
To hear more about what my results mean, Harmony Mindshift as a whole, PSYCH-K, Bio-Tuning, the importance of decreasing your stress levels, how chronic stress is affecting our youth post-COVID, and more about Strasser’s background, check out the full Mental Health Monday interview with Strasser below.
The main goal of Mental Health Monday is to start an open dialogue about a number of mental health topics, and how folks are being affected on local, state and national levels.
Guests range from psychiatrists, psychologists, school/drug/grief counselors, and any other professionals in the field, as well as testimonials from those affected by mental health issues, such as students, veterans, first responders, and many more.
