Sanctuary

Put your headphones in. Both ears, or it won't work the way it is meant to.

You don't need to do anything while it plays. You don't need to relax, or breathe in any particular way, or feel better by the end. Sit down somewhere and let it run.

Bilateral music works by gently stimulating both sides of the brain in alternating pulses, the same principle used in EMDR therapy. It is one of the more effective things available for a nervous system in freefall, and it works at the level of the body rather than the thinking.

Which is the point. The urge to reach out is not a thought, so you cannot argue it away. This gives your body something else to hold onto until it passes.
