The Bacta Tank of Sound: Healing by Immersion
Written and narrated by Glenn Ostlund

What if sound could become your sanctuary?

In this immersive and intimate episode, Glenn Ostlund introduces a powerful new creative project: Control-ALT-Create—a podcast that blends neuroscience, story, sound healing, and therapeutic insight into a guided, felt-sense experience of healing and transformation.

Episode 894 of Infants on Thrones features the premiere episode from this new series: The Bacta Tank of Sound. Inspired by the glowing Star Wars recovery chamber, this episode explores how binaural beats, hypnotic language, and rhythmic storytelling can act as a kind of auditory flotation tank—calming the nervous system, softening the mind, and helping the body remember what it feels like to be safe.

You’ll learn how trauma speaks in rhythm rather than words, how the brain’s predictive coding and plasticity respond to sound, and how a meditative audio field can become a quiet revolution in self-care.

Glenn is excited to announce that Control-ALT-Create is now live—and he’ll be dual-publishing episodes both here on Infants on Thrones and on the new podcast feed. Why? Because there are so many fascinating ideas still to explore, and this layered format of sound, story, and science opens up entirely new possibilities for growth, healing, and creative expression.

So grab your headphones, settle in, and float—just for a little while—in your very own bacta tank of sound.

🎧 Control-ALT-Create is available now on all major podcast platforms.
🔊 Headphones strongly recommended for the full effect.

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile

In this episode, we’re introduced to the idea of playing with thoughts the way you might play with Legos—stacking, twisting, reshaping, not to build something permanent, but to feel your way into understanding.

It starts on the floor. Stretching. Thinking.
Thoughts of childhood. Thoughts of trauma.
Thoughts about how being raised in what now feels like a Mormon cult still echoes through the nervous system today—like ant trails in the brain, rerouted and reinforced by years of psychological patterning and fear-based storytelling.

Then… those raw thoughts get analyzed.

We look at how trauma shapes our cognitive patterns.
How propaganda moves through mirror neurons and limbic resonance.
How personal stories of grief and inherited pain ripple outward through time—like a tidal wave of life stretching back to the Big Bang, and forward into Neuralink and speculative futures.

And then… the analysis itself gets analyzed.

Through the lens of a soul-centered, trauma-informed therapist, we explore what it means to simply wonder out loud.
To not judge thoughts as “sane” or “crazy,” but to honor the courage it takes to turn your inner life into a sandbox—and let others in.

Every idea—whether poetic, philosophical, or wildly speculative—is re-scored with a 10.
Not because it’s right.
But because you showed up and let the thoughts speak.
And maybe, that’s where the healing starts.

Feeling something stir?

If you’ve ever found yourself tangled in your own thoughts, trying to make sense of your past, your identity, your place in this strange unfolding now—I’d love to talk.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if working together might help you piece together your own Lego set of healing.
