Did you know that Embodied offers the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)—a listening therapy developed by Dr. Stephen Porges and grounded in Polyvagal Theory? This process helps build the foundation for awareness, embodiment, and resilience.
The SSP is designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, sensory and auditory processing, and a felt sense of safety, using specially filtered music that stimulates the vagus nerve through the auditory system. It can be a helpful support for those experiencing anxiety, trauma, sensory sensitivities, emotional dysregulation, difficulty engaging socially, and chronic stress and can improve the effectiveness of other therapies.
The SSP may be helpful in reducing symptoms and supporting overall health and resiliency for people seeking support for:
-Trauma history
-Depression and anxiety
-Autism, hyperactivity, and attention
-Chronic pain
-Chronic health conditions
-Sensory and auditory processing
-And more
Nervous system regulation is essential for our overall well-being. The Autonomic Nervous System regulates essential bodily functions and when we are dysregulated it can impact our breathing, sleep, mental clarity, digestion, concentration, social connection, and emotional regulation, and virtually every aspect of our lives and relationships. Benefits of a regulation nervous system include:
-Improved response to stress
-Ability to access higher learning and cognition
-More social connection and deeper relationships
It is backed by decades of research and proven in a wide range of clinical studies, including clinical trials involving children and adults with autism.
Embodied will be offering the SSP in conjunction with therapy or as a separate stand-alone program. It includes 5 hours of supervised listening time as well as independent listening time of the unfiltered pathway and lightly filtered music as maintenance after the Core pathway has been completed.
