Nothing is Required of You
Nothing Is Required of You
A Trauma-Informed Listening Space
There are moments when your nervous system has carried more than it should have had to.
Moments when instructions feel overwhelming.
When being told to breathe, relax, heal, or process feels like too much.
When even well-intended guidance becomes another demand.
Nothing Is Required of You was created for those moments.
This listening space does not ask you to do anything.
It does not guide you, correct you, or try to move you toward a particular outcome.
It offers sound as a steady presence—something you can rest alongside without expectation.
You do not need to feel calm.
You do not need to understand what is happening in your body.
You do not need to stay for the entire piece.You are allowed to listen in whatever way feels possible.
What this listening space offers
Gentle, grounding sound designed to support nervous system regulation
A non-directive experience that does not require participation or effort
A place to rest without performance, progress, or productivity
Support for moments of overwhelm, exhaustion, grief, or emotional overload
This is not about fixing what hurts.
It is about allowing your system to experience steadiness without pressure.
Who this is for
This offering may be supportive if you are:
Living with chronic stress, trauma, or grief
Feeling emotionally or physically overwhelmed
Recovering from prolonged caretaking or crisis
Tired of being told what you “should” do to feel better
This work is trauma-informed and respects autonomy, pacing, and choice.
How to use this
There is no right way to listen.
You may:
Sit or lie down
Listen for a few minutes or the entire piece
Pause or stop at any time
Return to it as often as you like
If at any point it does not feel supportive, you are encouraged to stop.
Listening is always optional.
A note on intention
Nothing Is Required of You exists as a boundary as much as a listening space.
It was created from the understanding that rest does not need to be earned,
and care does not need to come with conditions.
The sound remains present without asking anything in return.
