Safe and Sound Protocol
Talk therapy helped you understand what’s happening, but it’s still hard to feel safe or move forward.
Your nervous system keeps hitting the panic button.
Instead of relaxing into relationships, your body stays on guard.
You scan for threats, brace for stress, or shut down completely.
You’re exhausted from replaying conversations, rereading texts, and waiting for the next thing to go wrong.
It’s keeping you from securing the connection you crave.
Your body’s paying the price.
The chronic arousal leaves you exhausted.
You have difficulty sleeping, your neck and back ache, and your GI symptoms are embarrassing and inconvenient.
Doctors have told you to “reduce stress,” but you CAN’T TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF.
Talk therapy explained it. The Safe and Sound Protocol helps you feel it.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) takes a different approach.
By using specially filtered music to stimulate the vagus nerve, SSP helps your body relearn how to recognize safety.
You’ll start each therapy session with a few minutes of listening to the protocol through over-the-ear headphones.
The filtered music queues your vagus nerve to send a message to your body, shifting “fight or flight” to “rest and digest.”
It’s like a massage – but for your brain!
Together with your therapist, you’ll set a schedule for listening to the SSP between sessions.
Then, with a calm nervous system, you’ll make deeper insights, achieve greater healing, and reach your therapeutic goals faster.
SSP combined with EMDR and other brain-body therapies retrains your nervous system to recognize safety and connection.
It goes much further than just coping.
The constant overestimating of danger fades, and what takes its place is ease, confidence, and the ability to show up in your life the way you’ve always wanted to: present, grounded, and connected.
- Stop bracing for impact.
- Feel calm when you walk in the room.
- Enjoy deeper conversations with your loved ones.
- Stay focused at work without your mind spiraling.
- Sleep through the night!
You can do so much better than just coping.
This isn’t about pushing harder or “just talking it through,”
We’re talking about a transformation that creates a real, lasting change.
