The content you can hear consciously, by listening deliberately, is not the only content that affects you.
When you watch a movie, you usually pay attention to the dialogue, but the sound track plays in the background, affecting you emotionally. Anytime you wish you can switch your attention to the sound track and notice music and sound effects.
You may or may not notice some features of the sound track, even while attending, such as panning from left to right or front to rear, or a change in volume of one instrument in the whole orchestra playing the score.
These CounterCritic Coaching recordings use both foreground narration AND background sound techniques to deliver content that affects you. Like movie sound tracks, you can attend to them consciously, and you may or may not notice the specific features that are producing effects.
Among the background techniques are special sound effects that 'entrain' your brain to enter specially targeted mood and mental states. These entrainment effects are not as noticeable as dialogue or musical accompaniment, but if you know what to listen for, you can certainly hear them.
However, if your attention is attracted to the narration, the entrainment effects continue to work -- even more powerfully since you are not focusing on them. They can work most powerfully if they are embedded in the overall background track.
In summary, here's how it works: you choose the conditions, the content, and the cover background audio for your recording. We analyze your answers and then design the entrainment patterns to create the mood and mental states you are targeting, embed them in the musical/audio background you prefer, and then overlay the content narration you've selected.
When you listen to such recordings, the background audio is pleasantly tailored to be not distracting yet uniquely, personally powerful in creating the desired mental state. As you listen to the selected content - passively, without any intentional effort - the entrainment programming gently coaxes your mind into the most effective mental posture for learning, for imprinting.
These features are designed to work for you whether or not you perceive, notice, or attend to them.
The choices available here help your recording feel like they fit you, just as custom tailoring makes clothes fit like a glove.
