Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
What is SSP?
The Safe and Sound Protocol is a five-hour auditory intervention designed to reduce stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience. The protocol is based on Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, by calming the physiological and emotional state, the door is opened for improved socialization and stress management.
The Safe and Sound Protocol works to help improve the fight, flight, freeze reactions of that hinders social function and participation. The intervention uses prosodic vocal music that has been filtered to train the middle ear muscles to focus in on the frequency of human speech. Once Human speech is properly perceived, the portal to social engagement is opened. You’ll find you are (or your child is) better able to interpret not only the meaning but also the intent and emotions in conversations.
The SSP is a research-based therapy that shows significant results in:
- Social emotional difficulties
- Auditory Sensitivities
- Anxiety
- Trauma related challenges
