The first part of this topic introduced the concept of stabilization as it relates to office space, and looked at how light and natural elements can be used as a therapeutic tool.\u00a0 This post will discuss how sounds contributes to a\u00a0 stabilized environment.<\/p>\n
Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on your office set-up, you may need more sound buffers than others.\u00a0 If you share a space with other professionals and are close to a waiting\/reception area, you will want to create a soundscape that allows your sessions to not be overheard as well as preventing outside noise from disrupting you and your clients.\u00a0 Both scenarios prevent stabilization.<\/p>\n Music<\/strong><\/p>\n Music playing in the waiting area can do wonders to cut back on sound pollution.\u00a0 Keep in mind the environment you wish to create when choosing the tunes.\u00a0 Most likely, heavy rock will not be appropriate (but you never know!).\u00a0 Jazz, spa\/nature sounds, classical music, instrumental versions of popular songs are popular waiting area soundtracks that may work for you and your space.<\/p>\n I also like to have natural sound CDs playing on low in my therapy room.\u00a0 Not only does it help buffer sound, I find it really creates a calmer atmosphere in my office, setting the tone for sessions.\u00a0 Currently, rain sounds are my personal favourite.<\/p>\n
