SSP

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is based on Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory and his research regarding the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and auditory sensitivities, and the social emotional processes. It is a listening program especially filtered music that stimulates the vagus nerve through the middle ear muscle. Stress, trauma, and other conditions can overload our nervous system, leaving us in various states of fight/flight/freeze, which can impact how we interact with others, our environment and how we feel inside and about ourselves. The SSP is like a workout for your vagus nerve, giving your nervous system more flexibility and resilience.
