 Acceptance

These recordings are designed to support gentle, non-directive listening. When facilitating with gong or sound in trauma-informed contexts, please prioritize choice, pacing, and nervous-system safety over emotional intensity or release.

Participants may experience a wide range of responses, including rest, emotional movement, physical sensation, or neutrality. All responses are valid. Encourage listeners to engage with the sound in ways that feel manageable and self-directed, without pressure to process, share, or reach a particular outcome.

Facilitators are encouraged to:

• Offer clear options (eyes open or closed, seated or lying down, stepping out if needed)

• Avoid interpretation, catharsis-focused language, or directives to “go deeper”

• Allow silence and integration time before and after listening

• Remind participants that they may pause, adjust, or discontinue listening at any time

These recordings are not intended to replace medical care, psychotherapy, or clinical trauma treatment. Practitioners are responsible for using all recordings within their scope of practice, ensuring informed consent, and responding appropriately to participant needs.

Trauma-informed listening honors the body’s intelligence. Nothing is required to happen.
