🗳️ How to Deal With Stress in a Politically Charged Climate (a 3-Part Blog Series)

Let’s be honest — it’s hard to stay calm when the world feels like it’s shouting. The news cycle, the disagreements, the never-ending scroll… it can all take a toll on our mental and emotional health.

That’s why we’re sharing a 3-part blog series this week to help you navigate the stress that can come with a politically charged climate — without losing your peace.

✨ Part 1: Understanding Political Stress & Finding Balance

Before we can cope, we have to understand. In this first post, we talk about what political stress actually is, how it shows up in your body and mind, and ways to start finding balance again — even when things feel out of control.

✨ The Safe and Sound Protocol ✨

Your nervous system holds an intricate tapestry of experiences — some tender, some tangled. SSP gently helps your body feel safe enough to heal by using music that soothes and reconnects your inner world.

Through this captivating process, Darby will help you transcend the noise and rediscover what calm can feel like — one song at a time. 🎶

💫 Investment: $55/hour of facilitated time (average 3–5 hours)
Independent listening time is included at no extra cost — a little gift for your healing journey.

Most SSP programs exceed $500, so this offering is both accessible and deeply supportive.

Your body is ready to begin its next chapter.
Let’s help it feel safe enough to start. 🌱

Safe & Sound Protocol is a therapeutic, nervous system/ listening-based intervention—not a standalone therapy—but it can be deeply supportive in helping regulate, connect, and make traditional therapy more effective.

We are excited to have Darby Simmerman offering this adjunct service in-person and virtually for our Colorado clients.
