Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
Reset Your Nervous System for Healing
What is the Safe and Sound Protocol?
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a groundbreaking, research-based listening therapy designed to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and enhance emotional resilience. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, SSP is based on Polyvagal Theory, helping individuals shift from a state of stress or dysregulation into a place of calm, connection, and balance.
How Does It Work?
SSP uses specially filtered music to stimulate and retrain the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in regulating emotions, social engagement, and physiological responses to stress. By listening to these carefully designed sound frequencies, your nervous system learns to feel safer, more connected, and better able to manage everyday challenges.
