"I use this CD in trauma therapy, but also in general when there is greater emotional stress, lost brooding, etc. Of course, the music cannot "magic away" anything, but when it is meaningfully embedded in a good psychotherapeutic process, I experience it as helpful support (especially because I like the music too, unlike many other bilateral music CDs I've listened to so far). Personally, I like to use it in the evening before going to sleep to switch off and relax." (Rating on Amazon.de)

Bilateral Music

My albums ("Echoes", "Echoes Two", "Echoes from Elsewhere", "Bilateral Piano Meditation" and "Echoes of Sunshine and Rain") feature calm, meditative compositions designed for bilateral stimulation.

This form of music can help regulate stress, calm strong emotions and repetitive thoughts, and support a relaxed and focused state of mind.

Originally developed in the context of trauma therapy (EMDR), bilateral stimulation supports the processing of difficult experiences. The compositions integrate this principle directly into the music itself.

What is it used for?

In therapy, you can use the CD to support the processing of difficult material, either as part of an EMDR session (instead of guided eye movements) or to facilitate Brainspotting. If you got this for yourself then use it to help you relax, better deal with anxiety, facilitate sleep, or use it as one part of a Psychological First Aid Strategy....

...or you can simply enjoy the music...
