How often to use techniques for best results

Like scanning frequency, using techniques is entirely flexible—IMIN adapts to your needs and routine.

Finding your rhythm

No rules, just support
Use techniques whenever you need regulation support. This could be once a day, multiple times, or just when you feel you need it.

What many users find helpful
Using techniques 3-5 times per week provides consistent nervous system support. This might look like:

  • After morning scans to start your day regulated

  • During stressful moments for immediate support

  • As transitions between activities

  • When you notice you're feeling dysregulated

Two ways to access techniques

1. Through scanning (recommended)

Taking a scan first ensures techniques are perfectly matched to your current state. This personalized approach typically yields the best results.

2. Through your SOS tab

Access your most effective and favorited techniques anytime—even without scanning. Perfect for when you:

  • Know what you need

  • Want quick access to familiar techniques

  • Can't scan in the moment

Regular scanning still matters

While you can use SOS techniques anytime, regular scanning helps:

  • Track your progress

  • Update personalization

  • Discover new effective techniques

  • Understand your patterns
