A really wonderful article

For Simone de Beauvoir, friendship, even more than love, was the means to overcome the tragedy of our radical separation

Very good summary. Furthermore, when we are in survival states our pre-frontal cortex is either fully or partially offline, ie: the part of the brain that can think is not fully functioning so we can't access all our resources

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a non-invasive auditory intervention that can help the nervous system feel safer, become more flexible and better regulated.

Traumatic experiences can affect the way our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) operates, leaving us more sensitive to 'cues of danger' and quite reactive.

Based on the work of Dr. Stephen Porges, and his Polyvagal Theory, SSP can help with:

• Nurturing feelings of safety and helping how we engage within social relationships

• Receiving, processing and responding to cues from others

• Increasing emotional control while reducing reactivity

I use the SSP regularly in my practice and I also offer it to people who are engaged in therapy with a Trauma Informed therapist and are interested in accessing a body-based intervention to complement and support the work they are doing in their therapy.

The SSP is a five-day intervention designed by Dr. Stephen Porges to reduce stress & auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience.

Let's start by renaming the prevention strategy and call it Physical Distancing instead of Social Distancing. In difficult times more than ever we need social connection and our nervous systems crave for that to feel safer.

To counter the effects of social distancing and separation, we need to be sensitive to our nervous system's need to socially engage and connect.
