The Embodied Knowledge Institute builds tools and spaces for sustained inquiry into complex human experiences. We create infrastructure for deep inquiry into experiences that reward patient attention, developing tools like the Misophonia App and friction, frameworks, and spaces that help people trace origins, recognize patterns, and navigate with rigor.
The Misophonia Podcast
Available NowConversations with people living with misophonia, clinicians, and researchers. Each episode is edited to remove triggers and carefully produced to build a shared language for a difficult condition.
Misophonia Podcast App
Available NowA companion app combining podcast playback with therapeutic tools, experience tracking, and practical support resources. Built by people with misophonia, for people with misophonia.
Features: Sound therapy tools, experience logger with pattern recognition, legal resource library, crisis support hub, and research briefs.
friction
Available NowA philosophical practice tool offering voluntary difficulty — thermal, temporal, navigational, social, sensory, economic, competence. Grounded in the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis, Byung-Chul Han's critique of the achievement society, and stress-inoculation research. Local-first, anti-gamification, no accounts, free permanently.
Features: 10 curated practices across 7 domains, phenomenological field notes, markdown export, local-only storage. No scores, no streaks, no tracking.
