I work with teens that are in foster care. I use this CD to introduce them to relaxation techniques. It is broken down in a way that helps them understand and try the techniques out. The teens that I have introduced it to thus far, have been open to at least trying it and once they have tried it they all say that really works.
For over one year, my 12 year old had major problems going to sleep after starting middle school, going to sleep over 1 hr past her bedtime, and getting migraines the next day. It continued even into the summer, and I was getting less sleep too. I tried an amateur CD made by a therapist but it didn't work;I was I went on Amazon and tried Indigo Dreams the night that it arrived, and for 2 months now, my daughter has been able to put herself to sleep in 15-20 min with this CD! We use a CD player that has a sleep function that decreases the volume and turns off at the preselected time. There are different tracks - intro, breathing, muscle relaxation, visualization, affirmation, etc. The techniques the kids use will be helpful to decrease anxiety before test, competitions, etc. The narrator's voice is soothing but not creepy. I'm a physician and have recommended this CD to my teenage patients to help with sleep and not just pop a pill, and the adult Indigo Dreams for my adult patients. I have to burn copies in case the original CD gets scratched because we can't survive without it!!
I know from actual teens that this is an amazing relaxation process! It's very peaceful and understanding. It's very good for teens dealing with anxiety, anger or just everyday stress! It really prepares you for everyday situations by teaching you breathing exercises and affirmations so you know what to do next time you feel stressed or anxious! A real winner!
