This podcast is rooted in a simple, radical premise: you do not have to perform healing.

Nothing Is Required of You — The Practice of Permission is a trauma-informed listening space centered on autonomy, consent, and nervous system respect.

There are no forced meditations.
No productivity disguised as peace.
No pressure to relax, process, or transform.

Each episode offers sound-based experiences, reflections, and spacious listening arcs designed to support regulation without override. Silence is honored. Choice is honored. Your pace is honored.

This is not about fixing you.
It is about meeting you.

Whether you are a therapist, veteran, caregiver, survivor, or someone who has carried more than most people see — this space allows you to arrive without agenda.

You may listen actively.
You may listen passively.
You may turn it off.

That, too, is permission.

Nothing is required.
Not even progress.
