Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, author of Polyvagal Theory, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an acoustic vagal nerve stimulator designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through specially filtered music.
These are some of the things that people experience that can be addressed with the Safe & Sound Protocol:
Difficulty editing out background noise either at home or in public places
Feeling easily irritated by sounds that others don't seem to mind or even notice
Light or alert sleep, sounds cause interruption in sleep regularly or difficulty reaching deep sleep/restful sleep
Being in public or with groups is physically or emotionally draining
Trouble interpreting the body language of others or their vocal tone & intonation
Incidence of an accident or traumatic event & haven't been able to feel a sense of safety since the event happened
Attributes associated with the autism spectrum or ADHD/ADD diagnosis

THE SAFE & SOUND PROTOCOL (SSP) PATH:
This is for those who have high sensory arousal & have difficulty in various environments due to sound sensitivity.
I require clients to begin with the MIND-BODY ENTRY PATH (4 sessions) & we begin to integrate listening into sessions before beginning the full SSP.
We follow with 11 SSP sessions in addition to the initial 4.
60 Minute Sessions
fee is $2170 for the 10 Core Listening Sessions & 1 follow-up Session
(option to split into smaller payments)
