What is the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)?

Developed by neuroscientist Dr. Stephen Porges, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a five hour, research based, auditory intervention designed to reduce stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience. Based on Dr. Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, the SSP exerts a calming effect on our physiological and emotional state. This opens the door for improved healing, communication and social ease.

When Will You see Results?

Many clinicians have reported results just after 1 session and after the completion of the full 5 hours of listening. Most often, clients will see results up to 2-6 weeks after the program is completed as this gives the nervous system time to adjust and retune towards safety.

Can it Help Accelerate Therapy?

When your nervous system is in a mode of safety, you are more able to connect with others, learn, communicate, have meaningful relationships and progress with activities in your life. Since the Safe and Sound Protocol was created to get people into a mode of safety, it is helping clients fill in the foundational skills needed for The Pyramid of Learning. The Pyramid of Learning outlines that the bottom of the pyramid must be strong before the tiers above can be more developed.
