How does the Safe and Sound Protocol work?
The SSP is based on Polyvagal Theory (the science of feeling safe). Developed by Stephen Porges, PhD, it uses specially filtered music to stimulate the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which helps the body feel safe and less reactive to stress.
The program reduces stress, auditory sensitivity, while improving startle response, emotional resilience, and social engagement.
What people say after doing the SSP
“After the Safe and Sound Protocol, I feel like I could finally connect with myself, recognize and accept who I actually am, and all of a sudden know what my needs are.”

Sympathetic
Fight/Flight. Anxious. FranticSympathetic nervous system has been activated. You feel anxious, irritable, and probably worrying a lot. Your heart is beating faster, you are breathing shallower, you have trouble focusing and you may have digestive issues.
Dorsal Vagal
Numb. Shut Down. DepressedDorsal vagal is in shutdown. You want to be alone, lack motivation, and withdrawn. You struggle with fatigue, difficulty thinking, and you have great difficulty functioning.
