Stillwave
A gentle space to release what no longer serves you, and welcome what does.
A calm voice repeats the truths you most need to hear, paced by the soft side-to-side rhythm of bilateral stimulation — letting the words settle in more deeply than thinking alone.
Get startedSee how it works
A short, warm conversation shapes your session around what you're holding — then the gentle bilateral rhythm begins. Here's a quick look.
From the people behind Stillwave
We built this because we needed it.
Stillwave was made by people who have lived with bipolar disorder, depression, and substance use disorders — and who tried just about every modality first. CBT, DBT, ACT, talk therapy, meditation apps, journaling. Most helped a little. Some didn't.
Bilateral stimulation, paired with the right words at the right moment, was the one coping skill that consistently met us on the hardest days — when therapy wasn't accessible, when we didn't have the energy to talk, when we just needed a few minutes of something that worked.
So we built it. For the version of ourselves who needed it then, and for anyone who needs it now.
How it works

1
Set the intention
Tell Stillwave what you'd like to release, or what you'd like to welcome in. A short, warm conversation shapes the session around what you're holding right now.

Listen
Short truths are spoken aloud, each timed to a soft side-to-side rhythm. Follow the dot with your eyes, or close them and listen. Five to ten minutes is enough.

Why bilateral stimulation?
The side-to-side rhythm at the heart of Stillwave is borrowed from EMDR — a therapy technique that uses bilateral movement to help the mind settle and integrate what it's holding. Pairing that rhythm with affirmations chosen for your moment lets the truth you most need to hear land more deeply than reading or thinking alone.
Stillwave isn't EMDR therapy. It's a calmer, lighter version you can use on your own — for grounding before bed, for releasing a knot you can't quite name, for welcoming back something you've forgotten about yourself.
A note on what this is, and isn't
Stillwave is a wellness tool — not a substitute for therapy or a clinical EMDR program. If you're in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself, please reach 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or your local emergency services. They're available 24/7.
