What are the benefits of nervous system regulation? 🧐

An improved response to stress! 😌
✨ When our nervous system functions smoothly, sleeping, eating, digestion, focus, communication, and engaging in meaningful relationships become more effortless. This optimized state allows us to handle challenging situations more effectively, enabling us to move beyond them rather than becoming mired in emotional reactivity.

More social connection and deeper relationships 🥰
✨ By activating the part of your brain that allows us to be more social, affectionate and connected, the SSP can help shift you into a state where you are more comfortable and at ease engaging with others, leading to deeper and more meaningful relationships.

Better Emotional Regulation and Resilience 😙
✨ Become more aware of and better manage your emotions, allowing you to navigate temporary challenges with greater adaptability and composure.

SSP is for children, teens, and adults! Check out my Psychology Today page for more information and to get started with the SSP: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/739859

How does SSP work and what's the cost?

The SSP is an auditory intervention delivered through headphones that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Client's gain access through the protocol through the Unyte Integrated Listening System app. There are three parts to the SSP, and each is 5 hours long. There is a 5-hour nervous system "warm-up", a 5-hour core part of the protocol (the main part of the protocol through which the intervention is delivered), and 5-hours that help clients to maintain the gains they made. Some clients only opt to do the 5-hour core part of the protocol. Clients can listen to the protocol up to one hour a day, and can spread out each listening by a few days or more. With that in mind, most clients work through the protocol in as little as two weeks or some spread out the sessions and take 1-2 months to work through it. You can find additional information at this website as well, and it will most likely answer any questions you have: http://whatisthessp.com/

COST: The cost for the 5-hour core part of the protocol is $549.00. That includes two 30 minute sessions at the beginning and end of the program. The cost for the three part, 15-hour protocol is $949 and that includes four 30 minute sessions. I also have a sliding-scale option for those who need it.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful listening therapy designed to help regulate the nervous system, so you can better connect with yourself, others and the world around you.

How does the SSP accomplish regulation of the nervous system?

The SSP accomplishes this by specifically filtering the frequencies in music to retune the nervous system. While listening to the SSP through headphones, the protocolʼs targeted frequencies engage cranial and facial nerves, and through activation of the middle ear muscles, exercises the vagus nerve, which makes up 80% of the parasympathetic nervous system. Once activated, the vagus nerve helps to stabilize neuronal activity both inside the brain and in the rest of the body. One is then able to feel calmer and think more clearly. SSP can be used for individuals of ALL ages: children, adolescents, and adults. It is recommended that parents utilize this program along with the child to promote healthy emotional co-regulation between children and parents.

The SSP is a non-invasive intervention for children and adults that uses the auditory system as a portal to regulate a dysfunctional nervous system.

SSP specifically targets the autonomic nervous system, which controls whether we are in a state of calm or alarm (also known as the fight, flight, freeze response). Once feeling safe and calm, children are better able to function in many areas of their life. For example, after using the SSP many children often report that they feel calmer, are able to more easily engage socially, experience less anxiety, and can sleep better. They also report that they are better able to focus in school, therapy, and everyday life.

What is The Safe & Sound Protocol - Polyvagal Music Therapy?

Designed by neuroscientist and psychiatrist, Dr. Stephen Porges Ph.D., The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidenced-based auditory intervention based on the Polyvagal Theory. This intervention helps one’s nervous system to get “unstuck” from: underactivity of the nervous system (e.g. depression, inattention, impulsivity, social inhibition), overactivity of the nervous system (e.g. anxiety, emotional dysregulation, sleep issues), and complex dysregulation (e.g. sensory issues, food sensitivity, trauma, social difficulties). It is a powerful adjunct to regular therapy, and can be done at home and on your own schedule.
The SSP helps to regulate a dysfunctional nervous system by targeting the vagus nerve, which makes up 80% of the parasympathetic system. Through specially filtered music provided through headphones, this intervention activates the vagus nerve through the middle ear muscles which leads to improved regulation and a retuning of the nervous system.
SSP can be used for individuals of all ages: children, adolescents, and adults.
