The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful, evidence-based listening intervention that helps shift your nervous system toward safety, regulation, and connection—gently and gradually.
Rather than requiring you to talk about painful experiences, SSP works bottom-up—helping your body shift out of survival mode so you can more easily access connection, calm, and presence. SSP isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping your body remember what safety feels like—so that you can access more connection, creativity, rest, and resilience.
It’s a gentle, non-invasive support that complements other therapeutic modalities beautifully
This protocol can support your healing work by preparing your system to be more receptive to therapy, connection, and self-regulation.
We often talk about feeling safe—but what does that really mean in a body that’s been wired for survival?
Whether from chronic stress, anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, or developmental wounding, your nervous system may be stuck in patterns of hyper-vigilance, shutdown, or disconnection. You may want to feel more connected, calm, and present—but your body may not feel like it’s ready yet.
Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the Safe and Sound Protocol is grounded in Polyvagal Theory, which explains how our nervous system responds to threat and safety.
