Nothing is Required: Trauma-Informed Gong Listening
Nothing Is Required is a trauma-informed sound podcast designed for nervous systems that live in brace mode.
Hosted by Navy Veteran and Sound Alchemist JS Worldbridger and Julie Jules Smoot this podcast offers structured gong listening sessions created to support regulation, grounding, and reduced overwhelm. Each episode is paced intentionally — with gradual entry, predictable resonance, and space to soften without pressure.
These are not performance-based meditations.
There is no emotional outcome to achieve.
There is nothing to fix.
Through Chiron Gong, planetary gong sessions, and steady vibrational sound fields, listeners are invited to practice un-bracing — gently and at their own pace.
This podcast is designed for individuals living with trauma histories, CPTSD, chronic stress, sensory sensitivity, and nervous system dysregulation who are seeking contained, non-verbal support between therapy sessions.
Nothing is required of you here.
You are not asked to go deeper than your body wants to go.
You are simply invited to listen.

Boundary and Self Protection
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Boundary and Self Protection is a trauma-informed listening podcast rooted in lived experience and the ongoing practice of choosing safety, dignity, and self-respect. This space explores boundaries not as punishment or withdrawal, but as necessary acts of care—especially for nervous systems shaped by harm, overwhelm, or repeated violation.
Each episode offers sound and reflection that supports disengagement from what is damaging and a return to what preserves energy, agency, and choice. There is no pressure to confront, explain, or resolve. Listening itself is the boundary.
This podcast includes the following pieces:
- I Don’t Stay Where I’m Harmed
- Distance Is Care
- Access Is Not Assumed
- This Is Where I Stop
- I Choose Quiet Over Damage
- You Don’t Get to Decide
- I Leave Without Explaining
Together, these works form a listening arc about recognizing limits, honoring withdrawal, and allowing separation to be protective rather than shameful. You are welcome to listen fully, partially, or step away at any time. Nothing here requires endurance.
Boundary and Self Protection exists for those learning that leaving, pausing, and choosing quiet can be forms of strength—and that self-protection is not something to apologize for.
