Why I Pair Binaural Beats and Healing Frequencies with EMDR to Support Women with ADHD Symptoms
When you're a woman with a fast-moving mind, a sensitive nervous system, and a business to run—focus can feel like a fantasy. The world is overstimulating. Your to-do list is a mile long. And sometimes, sitting still feels impossible.
That’s why I use binaural beats and healing sound frequencies as part of the therapeutic experience I offer women with ADHD symptoms and focus challenges.
Sound as a Regulating Tool for the ADHD Brain
Traditional therapy often focuses on thoughts and behaviors. But focus, attention, and overwhelm are nervous system events. Your brain needs to feel safe, settled, and supported to access flow and concentration.
Binaural beats work by playing two slightly different tones in each ear. Your brain processes the difference as a third frequency, which helps shift you into relaxed brainwave states—like alpha (focused but calm) or theta (creative, open, deeply relaxed).
Healing frequencies (like 528 Hz or 432 Hz) are single-tone tracks that help calm the body and soothe emotional noise. Unlike binaural beats, they don’t require headphones. They’re a powerful support for regulation, especially when layered with bilateral stimulation.
How I Integrate These Tools Into Therapy
In my EMDR sessions and guided visualizations, I often incorporate:
Bilateral audio stimulation through headphones, paired with
Bilateral visual stimulation in the form of eye movements OR wireless, handheld tappers
Binaural beats to help induce a calm, focused state
Healing frequency tracks to deepen relaxation and emotional safety
These elements create an immersive, body-based experience—especially helpful for women with ADHD symptoms who struggle with traditional talk therapy or dissociate easily during inner work.
Why It Works
Women with ADHD symptoms often operate with elevated stress hormones, chronic overthinking, and inconsistent access to clarity. Pairing sound-based tools with trauma-informed therapy helps:
Shift your brain into states more receptive to change
Reduce nervous system overdrive
Make EMDR and somatic work feel more grounding and intuitive
I’ve seen this approach help women experience deeper emotional releases, breakthroughs in self-trust, and moments of clarity they couldn’t reach through words alone.
For Creative, Intuitive Women Who’ve Outgrown Talk Therapy
If you’re someone who processes the world through intuition, sensation, or emotion, this kind of therapy may finally feel like it’s made for you.
I offer online integrative therapy for women across San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Carmel Valley, Monterey, the Bay Area, and beyond in California.
