RECAUTIONS
Traumatic Childhood Experiences
- The DAVID SMART can cause the
release of suppressed memories. If traumatic memories surface during or after
a session, be certain to seek appropriate support.
Somnatic Shock
- If abruptly returning to a normal conscious state, a mild
case of somnatic shock can result, leaving the user feeling disoriented,
nauseous, or experiencing a headache. All preset sessions in the DAVID SMART
are programmed to end with the lights fading out (Soft Off™) to avoid somnatic
shock.
Orthostatic Hypotension
- Occasionally when a person becomes very relaxed
during a session, his/her blood pressure may fall significantly. We advise rising
slowly after a session.
