Benevolent Brainwashing

Because…
Maybe…
The idea of Letting Go…

(might sometimes first mean Letting In)

What is Benevolent Brainwashing?

Benevolent Brainwashing is a meditative storytelling podcast designed to quiet the noise of modern life and guide listeners into deep states of relaxation and therapeutic self-discovery. Created by Glenn Ostlund, MS, MA, LAC—a practicing therapist with master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and in Folklore and Mythology—this series blends ancient wisdom with modern science, drawing from world religions, creation myths, and cosmology. Each episode features immersive soundscapes and binaural audio beats to support nervous system regulation and expanded awareness. These aren’t just meditations—they’re gentle rituals of remembering who and what we really are.
