🌿 Did you know that after trauma and long term anxiety the middle ear can become effected? The middle ears' muscles slacken or 'lose tone'.
🌿 This means that the individual then hears higher and lower tones which can mean 'DANGER ⚠️' to the nervous system!
🌿 The Safe and Sound Protocol is a gentle, evidence-based listening program designed to help calm the nervous system - it was created by Dr. Stephen Porges and based on the Polyvagal Theory.
🌿 SSP uses specially filtered music to help your body feel safe — retraining and re-toning your nervous system to shift out of survival mode and into connection and calm. Over time, this process can help:
Ease symptoms of anxiety and depression
Support recovery from trauma
Improve emotional regulation, focus, and social engagement
🌿 When your nervous system feels calm and supported, true emotional healing becomes possible 😀!
🌿 I incorporate SSP into my therapy programs for clients healing from complex trauma, anxiety, and depression - helping them reconnect to their sense of safety, balance, and resilience.
🌿 If this sounds like something that might support you, I’d love to chat more about how it works.
