Nervous System Regulating Therapy
Safe & Sound Protocol
What’s included
What Is It?
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music.
How Does It Work
As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a noninvasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to retune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration, and resilience.
Listening
The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider in person or remotely. Suitable for children and adults, the SSP has demonstrated benefits for individuals with trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences and more.
