Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

 The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce nervous system sensitivities, trauma responses, improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and based on his 40 years of research on Polyvagal Theory, Safe and Sound Protocol SSP therapy involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider, in-person or remotely and is suitable for children and adults. As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP program acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to retune the nervous system to support connection, collaboration, and resilience.
