Episode 32- A Life Lived- Changing lives with Sound- Tribute to Ron Minson MD, Integrated Listening Systems
Sunday, 21 January, 2024
Welcome to episode 31. Today is a very special gathering of fellow iLs instructors to honour the life of Ron Minson, M.D. whose life work impacted so many. iLs systems changed lives from the bottom up. Dr Ron, as we call him, received his medical degree from UCLA School of Medicine and is board-certified in Psychiatry and Neurology. His general medical background includes serving as a family physician and health center Medical Director and clinical psychiatrist. Dr. Minson served as Chief of Psychiatry for Presbyterian Medical Center and Director of Behavioral Sciences at Mercy Hospital in Denver. However, his life took a radical new pathway when he witnessed the successful treatment of his daughter for severe depression and dyslexia from a sound therapy program. He subsequently chose to devote his life to learning about the power of filtred sound in clinical application; developed programs, and taught practitioners so more people could heal from sound and bone conduction therapy. He developed Dynamic Listening Systems (DLS), which he integrated into his psychiatric practice and later, in 2007, iLs was launched to provide a more affordable and multisensory therapy- which is sound combined with visual, vestibular and movement, that could be used in homes and schools as well as therapy clinics.Dr Minson worked closely with his wife, Kate Minson. Some words from Kate... “In the time I have been an eye-witness to Dr. Minson’s trajectory in the field of psychoacoustics, the branch of psychology concerned with sound and its physiological effects, I have noted a few common themes that run through his professional life story: a willingness to go boldly into uncharted territory, an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and an equally passionate desire to help people. Please enjoy my conversation with Fellow-iLs trainers, Doreen Hunt; Ann Brownstone; Dillen Hartley and Marianne Judd, all esteemed clinicians, as we honour the memory and work of Dr Minson, sharing his knowledge and the powerful impact of the iLs and Pro system with clients. You will sense the gratitude we all feel to have been a part of the iLs family and the privilege it was to be able to teach the work.Some key points- listen in for the details and more... iLs is a multisensory program incorporating movement with filtered music and bone conduction Dr Ron and Kate- knowledge way before their time Power of breath and voice with breath- impact on the nervous systemSound as healingStudy with Dr TomatisThe entire body as a vesicle for sound. iLs foundation in neuroscience and neurodevelopmentiLs connecting the sensory-motor systeminter-uterine listeningfiltered mothers voicePro System- individualized program with higher filtered music and bone conductionDr Ron's legacy- integrating air and bone conduction in a single program; the ear-to-brain connection; bottom-up integration to build a foundation for integrationLeadership through care- Kate and Dr RonI hope you all enjoyed this conversation. For me, it was lovely to connect again with some old friends and share story. There were a couple of other trainers who were unable to attend, Clinicians Mary Jones, Andrea Pointer and Cindy Dawkins who were very much missed. Being an iLs Trainer was a special time in my life.To find out more about the iLs system or the SSP contact Unyte in Denver, or if you are located in Australia or New Zealand, contact Integrated Listening Australia.Wishing you all kindness, Joanne.Support the showPlease support my work by sharing this episode with a friend or colleague:)
