Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

Calm your nervous system. Cultivate safety. Support deeper healing.

What is SSP?

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening intervention rooted in Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. Using specially filtered music delivered through over-the-ear headphones, SSP gently retrains your nervous system to feel safe, connected, and regulated.

Who Can Benefit?

SSP is especially supportive for individuals navigating:

  • Chronic stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

  • Trauma, PTSD, or complex developmental wounds

  • Sensory sensitivities or emotional dysregulation

  • ADHD or difficulty with concentration, focus

  • Difficulties feeling safe in relationships or social settings

    Whether used on its own or as part of your ongoing therapeutic work, SSP can help establish a felt sense of safety—laying the groundwork for deeper healing and connection.
