Safe and Sound Protocol

Service Description

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful, evidence-based listening therapy designed to help regulate the nervous system and promote a sense of safety and connection. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, founder of the Polyvagal Theory, SSP uses specially filtered music to gently stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in how we respond to stress and social engagement. This protocol supports individuals who struggle with anxiety, trauma, sensory sensitivity, emotional dysregulation, and difficulties with connection. By improving the nervous system’s ability to shift out of fight, flight, or freeze states, SSP helps the body return to a calm, grounded baseline—making other therapies more effective and life more manageable. The program is delivered through five hours of specially processed music, typically experienced over several sessions in a safe and supportive environment. Whether integrated with other healing modalities or used as a standalone service, SSP can help individuals feel more at ease in their bodies, more present in their relationships, and more resilient in everyday life. Benefits of SSP may include: Improved emotional regulation and reduced reactivity Decreased anxiety and overwhelm Enhanced social engagement and connection Better sleep and relaxation Reduced sensitivity to sound or environmental triggers A greater sense of safety and calm in the body This is for you if... You feel stuck in cycles of dysregulation, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. If your nervous system feels constantly on edge or if you have difficulty connecting with others or processing stress, SSP can support you in finding your way back to a place of safety, balance, and self-trust.
