Music That Works With the Medicine

A listening guide for Spravato® treatment

Spravato® quiets the language center of the brain. The right music works with that — not against it. No lyrics. No guided meditations. Just sound that opens the door.

Side-by-side fMRI brain scans comparing esketamine (Spravato) alone versus Spravato with a curated music playlist — the music condition shows significantly greater neural activation across limbic and prefrontal regions associated with emotional processing and neuroplasticity

Finally, something that actually helps

I've been doing Spravato for months and never knew what to listen to. This book changed everything. The genre breakdowns are exactly what I needed — I actually look forward to my sessions now.

"Spravato® quiets the language center. Music fills the space that opens up."

Why Music Matters During Treatment

Esketamine temporarily quiets the default mode network — the part of the brain that narrates, judges, and keeps depression running in the background. In that window, music is not background noise. It is the environment you are inside of.

Research in psychedelic-assisted therapy shows that music shapes the emotional arc of the experience. The right music helps patients stay with difficult material rather than retreating from it. The wrong music — anything with lyrics, anything jarring — pulls them out.

Help fund the Listening to Spravato jazz album with Justin Page and Legendary Jazz Guitarist Peter Bernstein

This project began as a personal search for music that could support ketamine-assisted therapy — and it grew into something much larger. Now I'm creating an original jazz album designed specifically for Spravato sessions.

Every contribution helps bring this music to patients who need it. Whether you've been touched by this work or simply believe in the healing power of intentional sound, your support means everything.
