Gong Sound Therapy: A Path to PTSD Healing
Gong Sound Therapy: A Path to PTSD Healing is a trauma-informed sound podcast created to support regulation, rest, and choice for those living with PTSD and chronic stress.
These episodes use gong sound as a steady presence—not a directive experience. There is no guidance to follow, no requirement to relax, and no expectation to stay. Listeners are invited to engage in whatever way feels safest: listening closely, listening lightly, drifting, sleeping, or stopping at any time.
Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot approaches gong work with deep respect for the nervous system. The sounds are intentionally spacious, paced slowly, and free of sudden shifts. Silence and integration are treated as essential parts of the experience, not gaps to be filled. This work honors the reality that healing does not move in straight lines and cannot be rushed.
This podcast is designed especially for survivors who may feel overwhelmed by traditional guided practices or pressured to “go deep.” Here, sound is offered as support rather than intervention—something that can be received or set aside without consequence.
Gong Sound Therapy: A Path to PTSD Healing is not about fixing or forcing change.
It is about creating conditions where safety is possible, autonomy is respected, and the body is trusted to know what it needs.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
Staying is optional.
Leaving is allowed.
