What it is:

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a non-invasive, research-backed therapy designed to help you feel more at ease in your body and mind. It works by using specially filtered music to gently engage your nervous system, supporting you in feeling more relaxed, safe, and connected. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, the SSP helps to retrain your body’s natural ability to self-regulate.

The process is simple and begins with a brief assessment to understand your specific needs and goals. Then, you’ll listen to the carefully designed music through headphones. The length of each session is adjusted to your individual needs and can vary throughout the protocol. As you listen, the music works by targeting the muscles in your ears that are involved in processing sound, which in turn helps calm the nervous system.

It’s a soothing way to feel more grounded and balanced, helping you navigate life’s challenges with more ease.

Getting the most out of your SSP sessions:

To get the most out of your SSP experience, it is highly recommended that you have a co-regulating presence during your listening sessions. Consider doing all or some of your sessions with your SSP provider, or inviting a trusted friend, family member, or pet to be present while you listen to the music. Their calm energy can help you feel safer and more connected, creating an ideal environment for co-regulation to occur. This can significantly enhance your emotional healing and regulation.
