The Resociative Medicine process works the whole system. So just as you would prepare for a big physical work-out or a medical/surgical procedure here are some recommendations to help ensure that the process is not only safe but satisfying, and with a rapid recovery:
 
1.  Make time for the process
 
If you are new to process work it best if you don’t have any work planned for the rest of the day after a session and be aware that shifts can still be occuring a few days after. Follow-up sessions generally have a shorter 're-integration' period.

 
2.  Be physically prepared for the process

• Be well hydrated.

 

• Avoid or minimise caffeine in the hours prior to a session. (Clients taking stimulant medication report that it can be beneficial to have half their usual dose prior to a session.)

 

• Some clients find that a magnesium salt bath or float near the time of a session, and/or magnesium supplementation is of benefit.

 

• Plan a high protein meal after a session and/or supplement L-glutamine around the time of a session.
  • (L-glutamine is an amino acid powder that athletes often take for rapid recovery after a work-out. In Resociative Medicine we are also working the body by releasing the emotional charge stored in the connective tissue.)

​

• Also have some high anti-oxidant foods/drinks around the time of a session.

 

• Have a good diet with particular focus on zinc, vitamin K2, CoQ10, calcium and iodine, and/or supplementation when doing regular sessions. (Noting that there can be mineral supplement absoroption issues if you take them at the same time.)

 

• Get sufficient (safe) sun exposure for adequate Vitamin D and/or supplement as required.

 
These suggestions are based on long-term clinical observations of what improves outcomes, assists recovery, as well as what is being used more in the process. The recommendations are also supported by the science on substances used in quantum biological processes (including fascial release).
 
3.  Let your body/subconscious help you with the process
 
Often people have a concious intention for a session, but clients are encouraged to be aware of what is ‘coming up’ for them in the days before a session. For example there may be physical symptoms, but there could equally be memories or a song reverberating. In this practice there is no such thing as something which you are, ‘not sure if it’s worth mentioning’.

4. Other modalities around the time of a session

It's fine to attend bodywork appointments in the day or so before or after a session, as long as the practitioner is already known to you and that the modality works with the body rather than imposes upon it (i.e no surgery, ice-baths or colonics etc. within a few of days of a session or the body will get mixed messages)..
 
5. Things to be aware of prior to engaging in Resociative Medicine
 
If you are regularly seeing other clinicians (medical or otherwise) for a condition that you would like to address with Resociative Medicine, please let them know that you are doing this.

​Most classes of medication (including modest cannabinoid use) are fine to be taking with this work but regular benzodiazepines (for example diazepam, or temazepam) are not. Please don't engage in this therapy if you are taking these on a regular (daily) basis.
