The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a therapy developed by Dr. Stephen Porges that uses neural exercises and auditory stimulation to help individuals regulate their emotions and behaviors. The SSP is designed to help individuals who experience sensory processing difficulties, anxiety, trauma, social difficulties and other conditions related to emotional regulation.

The therapy involves listening to a specially designed music program that regulates the nervous system, which in turn helps the individual feel more calm and focused. The program is specifically designed to target the vagus nerve, which is responsible for regulating the body’s automatic responses to stress, including heart rate, breathing, and digestion.

The SSP involves several sessions over the course of several days or weeks. During each session, the individual listens to the music programme that helps to strengthen communication between the brain and body. The therapy has been found to be effective for both children and adults and can be used as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other therapies.

Overall, the Safe and Sound Protocol is a non-invasive and safe therapy that can help individuals to better regulate their emotions and behaviours, and lead to improved overall wellbeing.
