What Is The Safe And Sound Protocol?

The Safe and Sound Protocol is a method for helping to calm your nervous system and ease symptoms of anxiety, trauma, stress and more.  You’ll sit quietly with headphones on and listen to specially treated music that engages the vagus nerve.  The technology behind the music helps to regulate your nervous system so your body can move out of a state of defense all the time. It re-teaches your body that you don’t need to be in a constant state of panic, chaos, anger, fight or flight.  It will help you feel less reactive, triggered and like you are always waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Or, maybe for you it’s more like you feel so overwhelmed that you you want to cry all the time, feel like hiding all the time, feel cut off,  shut down, “checked out,” not present, can’t seem to feel your emotions or feel afraid of your emotions.   SSP can help you shift out of those fight, flight, overwhelmed, cut off or numb states by helping your body know that it’s safe again.  As your body knows it’s not in danger, it can let go of all those defensive, protective strategies.

Your mind might “get it” about where all those behaviors come from, but your body is another matter.  Safe and Sound Protocol can soothe and retune your nervous system back into a space of safety.  It can help ease troubles with:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Compulsive behaviors, like eating, media, cleaning, habitual arguing…..
  • Compulsive thoughts like worry, expecting the worst, criticism of self or others….
  • Obsessive or repetitive thinking of any kind
  • Sleep issues
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Auditory Sensitivities
  • Social and emotional difficulties
  • Repeating patterns and stress in relationships of any kind
  • Autoimmune, digestive and other health issues
  • And more………

The Safe and Sound Protocol is a separate service, apart from our coaching sessions.  You can purchase the SSP process through me regardless of whether you are currently working with me or with another coach or supportive practitioner.

$500 flat fee includes:

  • Review together how to tailor the listening to your specific nervous system
  • Orientation and instruction on using SSP
  • Fee for access to the Safe and Sound Protocol App on your phone
  • Ongoing monitoring and personalized tailoring of the protocol by text or email for the entire course of the SSP.  Some people make take as little as one month to complete the SSP, others may take up to 6 months. We will stay in close touch to make sure we are listening to the filtered, SSP to you at the perfect rate for your nervous system. This helps create much more effective results.  It also helps to ensure a more smooth, integrated experience in the months it takes you complete the protocol.
  • Consultation at the end of your listening therapy about additional protocol options

Please contact me if you have any questions!  Both my clients and myself have experienced truly significant shifts from this protocol.  I would love for you to experience it too.

Safe and Sound Protocol was developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and is based on Polyvagal Theory.  Here are some resources to help you understand Polyvagal theory and SSP better.
