Understand

What Dissociation Actually Feels Like

Going blank mid-conversation. Emotional flatness. Watching your life from the outside. Most people who dissociate don't know they're doing it.

Playlists for Therapeutic Journeys

For ketamine-assisted therapy, psychedelic integration, or any time you need to go inward. No lyrics, no surprises — just sound that supports whatever needs to happen.

Tip: In Spotify, go to Settings → Advanced → Playback and set crossfade to 12 seconds. This eliminates silence between tracks so the music flows continuously through your session.

Johns Hopkins Psilocybin Playlist

SoundMind Psychedelics

Developed for psilocybin research at Johns Hopkins by Bill Richards. Mostly classical — Górecki, Bach, Pärt. Nearly 8 hours. Also widely used in ketamine sessions.

Ketamine #6: Becoming Happier

Kaila Compton

A carefully sequenced KAP playlist designed for the arc of a ketamine session. Warm, grounding, emotionally open. One of the best purpose-built therapeutic playlists available.

KAP // Relax

Sam Cook

Ambient and grounding. Specifically curated for ketamine-assisted therapy. A good option if classical feels too emotionally loaded.

BioLateral & Bilateral Music

Different from journey music. BioLateral music gently pans sound between your left and right ears through headphones, providing bilateral stimulation that supports processing during EMDR and Brainspotting — or between sessions for grounding and self-regulation. Play at low volume. Headphones required.

BioLateral Sound Healing

David Grand, PhD

The original biolateral music, created by the founder of Brainspotting. Hand-panned to rock gently between hemispheres. Designed to be played at near-imperceptible volume during processing or self-regulation.

Sattva Sounds

Mark Grixti

Tuned to 432 Hz. Used in Brainspotting trainings internationally. Warm, sustained tones with gentle bilateral panning.

Indigenous Bilateral Music

Various Artists

Métis waltzes by Alexandre Tetrault, songs by Kevin Locke (Lakota), and Cree-guided recordings — all generously shared for therapeutic use. Available for download through Brainspotting Canada.

Reading List

Books that have shaped how I think about therapy, trauma, consciousness, and being human. Some are clinical. Some are philosophical. Some are just good writing by people who've paid attention.
