Safe and Sound Protocol
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful listening therapy designed to help regulate the nervous system, so you can better connect with yourself, others and the world around you.
Benefits of nervous system regulation
Improve Response to Stress
When our nervous system is regulated, it’s easier to sleep, eat, digest, concentrate, communicate, and participate in meaningful relationships with others. We can better respond to difficult situations and move past them instead of reacting and getting “stuck” in them
Better emotional regulation and resilience
Become attuned to and more in control of emotions, so you can move through temporary setbacks with more flexibility and ease.
More social connection and deeper relationships
By activating the part of your brain that allows us to be more social, affectionate and connected, the SSP can help shift you into a state where you are more comfortable and at ease engaging with others, leading to deeper and more meaningful relationships.
How does SSP help?
Supports many symptoms and conditions.
​
The SSP may be helpful in reducing symptoms and supporting overall health and resiliency for people seeking support for:
-
Depression and anxiety
-
Neurodevelopmental differences, such as autism, hyperactivity and attention
-
Learning difficulties
-
Sensory processing differences
-
Trauma history
-
Long Covid
-
Dysautonomia
-
And more
The SSP involves listening to specially-filtered music through headphones alongside a provider, in-person or remotely. A practical application of the Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as an acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to shift the nervous system out of a chronic state of defense and into a state of social engagement. By experiencing movement through the physiological states, the listener's autonomic nervous system may be re-tuned to be more connected, resilient, and better able to respond to life's challenges.
Safe and effective for all ages and familiesThe SSP has helped over 100,000 children, adolescents and adults in more than 70 countries worldwide. Uniquely, many families experience the SSP together and in support of one another.
