Why Music Matters During Spravato
The right music during a Spravato session isn't just background noise — it actively shapes the therapeutic experience. Research shows that non-lyrical, backbeat-free music supports the dissociative state and reduces anxiety, helping patients move through the session with greater ease.
Our curated playlists are built around these principles: no lyrics, no driving rhythms, and a tempo that mirrors a resting heart rate. Start with the Official Listening to Spravato playlist on Apple Music.
Session Tips
Three Things to Do Before Your Next Session
- 1.
Choose your playlist in advance. Don't leave it to the last minute. Queue it up the night before so you're not scrolling when you should be settling in.
- 2.
Use over-ear headphones if possible. They create a more immersive sound environment and reduce ambient clinic noise, which can be grounding during the dissociative phase.
- 3.
Set your volume before the medication takes effect. Aim for a comfortable level — loud enough to be present, quiet enough to feel safe.
