For clients, for anyone curious, for people who want to understand what's happening inside them.

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.
Psychoeducation →What an EMDR Session Actually Feels Like
Most people expect it to feel like reliving the trauma. It doesn't. A session-by-session account of what happens — before, during, and after.
Psychoeducation →What Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Actually Feels Like
Not what you imagine. Stranger than that, and slower. The preparation, the dosing session, the strange middle hours, and what integration actually involves.

Bilateral Stimulation Music
Bilateral stimulation supports processing during EMDR and Brainspotting, and can help with grounding and self-regulation between sessions. I use these tools with clients during telehealth sessions and in the office. Audio versions pan sound gently between your left and right ears through headphones. Play audio at low volume.
Biolateral vs. bilateral: These terms sound the same but describe different panning techniques. Biolateral music, developed by David Grand for Brainspotting, is hand-panned so that volume gently swells in one ear and fades before swelling in the other — a rocking, organic movement between hemispheres. Bilateral music, used in EMDR, alternates sound between ears in a steady, rhythmic, predictable pattern. Both support processing; they just feel different. Many clinicians find biolateral subtler and less activating.
BioLateral Sound Healing
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. Grand has released 6 BioLateral CDs — additional albums available at brainspotting.com.
Sattva Sounds
Tuned to 432 Hz. Used in Brainspotting trainings internationally. Warm, sustained tones with gentle bilateral panning.
Bodhi Tree Bilateral
Multiple albums of original bilateral music with nature sounds: Reflection, Release, Breathe (Celtic harp), Serenity (baritone guitar), Departure (modern/driving), Solitude, Simple (for TBI/neurodiversity), and children's collections. Endorsed by Grand. Not on Spotify — purchase through their site.
Indigenous Bilateral Music
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.
Journey From Myself
Jazz-based biolateral music from Korea, composed by psychotherapist and music therapist Sunyoung Kim with jazz musicians. 12 tracks grounded in interpersonal neurobiology. Handpan, piano, drums — more textured and musical than typical bilateral audio. Use headphones.
Bilateral Sounds
5 nature-based tracks designed specifically for Brainspotting, meditation, and performance expansion. Forest Brook, Shoreline Waves, Gentle Breeze, Soft Grey, Windswept Cove. Short (~10 min total) but useful for between-session grounding.
Feel
Tactile bilateral stimulation uses your phone's vibration motor to deliver gentle alternating taps. Useful for grounding between sessions and during telehealth processing work.
Tactile BLS
Browser-based tactile bilateral stimulation using your phone's vibration motor. No app needed. Adjustable speed and intensity. I use this with clients during telehealth EMDR and Brainspotting sessions, and it also works well for between-session grounding on your own.

Playlists for Therapeutic Journeys
Curated music for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, psilocybin sessions, and MDMA-assisted therapy. Organized by substance, with context on who made each playlist and why.
Tip: In Spotify, go to Settings → Playback and set crossfade to 12 seconds. This eliminates silence between tracks so the music flows continuously through your session.
