Safe & Sound Protocol is an auditory therapy developed by world-renowned researcher and author of The Polyvagal Theory, Dr. Stephen Porges. Guided by a clinical psychologist, SSP uses specially filtered sounds to stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the autonomic nervous system.
This process helps retrain the nervous system to better differentiate between safe and dangerous signals in the environment, leading to improved emotional regulation and social engagement. Clinical trials and real-world studies have demonstrated significant improvements in symptoms of anxiety, trauma, autism and ADHD, and overall quality of life for both children and adults.
Many individuals with anxiety, trauma, autism, or ADHD experience hypervigilance and heightened sensory sensitivities. These symptoms can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. The Safe & Sound Protocol addresses these issues by helping the nervous system better process sensory information. By reducing hypersensitivity to environmental stimuli, individuals can experience decreased anxiety, improved focus, and enhanced ability to engage socially.
The Safe & Sound Protocol works to reprogram the nervous system's response to perceived threats. Through carefully filtered music, the therapy helps to strengthen the neural pathways associated with feelings of safety and social connection. This reprogramming can lead to lasting changes in how individuals respond to stress and interact with their environment. As the nervous system learns to more accurately distinguish between safe and threatening stimuli, individuals often report reduced anxiety, improved emotional regulation, and greater resilience in the face of challenges.
