From 1988 to 1998 Jack and Arden Wilken ran a program they designed for psychotherapists, students and psychologists to clarify their client relationships using INNER SOUND and an early breathing reflex.
1990 to 1998 they worked with Marc Costa, clinical psychologist in Barcelona, Spain collaborating on courses using the breathing reflex, INNER SOUND and therapeutic strobes. The 2 works, the collaboration with Marc and clarifying client relationships led to quantifying the effects of the INNER SOUND motifs and developing the emotional theory found in the INNER SOUND trainings and in the article, “Our Sonic Pathways“.
