The Safe and Sound Protocol

A listening therapy to unlock your client’s ability to think, feel and connect better through nervous system regulation.

The SSP isn’t just music — it’s a comprehensive approach to healing. This unique listening therapy is a journey that brings together the client, therapist and the SSP to create a safe space for brain and body integration and healing to achieve impactful, long-lasting results.

  • Many clients who experience the SSP report fewer symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma-related symptoms.
  • Caregivers of children who experience the SSP report fewer psychosocial challenges.

Helps improve nervous system regulation in children and adults to support many symptoms and conditions.

Backed by clinical trials and real-world evidence, and informed by Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory.

Enhances and accelerates the impact of other therapies, such as CBT, EMDR, SE, IFS, and neurodevelopmental treatments.

“Part of the art and science of EMDR therapy is in pacing the experience to avoid overwhelm. The SSP gives us an effective, empowering client tool and an informative therapist gauge to help increase both the safety and quality of the work.”

Laurie Belanger, LCSW-R, EMDRIA Approved Consultant

“The SSP was a necessary and integral part of the client’s overall treatment plan. Client’s self-reported ability to tolerate real and imagined injustices, social situations and work situations, and family encounters increased.”

Ed Bostick, Psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, coach

“The SSP offers a space to relearn and reconnect to the experience of inner ease, both within the self and within relationship to other, allowing for deeper healing and growth to occur.”

How does the Safe and Sound Protocol work?

The music of the SSP has been filtered through a patented, evidence-based algorithm that highlights specific sound frequencies that help regulate the autonomic nervous system and stimulate the vagus nerve. What this means for you and your clients:

Providers report that the SSP “opens up” their clients and relaxes their defenses, improving accessibility.

As a result, clients often experience quicker progress, becoming more engaged in therapy.

The SSP helps accelerate results and improve therapeutic outcomes.

Once integrated, the SSP often becomes an essential part of a clinical approach.

Impactful, long-lasting results for your clients are possible.

The Science of Safety

By sending cues of safety through specially filtered music, the SSP engages a system of muscles and nerves that support social engagement, stimulating the vagus nerve. This opens the door for other therapies to become more accessible, impactful and accelerated.

Tunes that retune.

The SSP uses a wide variety of music, including some that you may already be familiar with. All the music in the SSP playlists are thoughtfully sequenced and filtered through the patented, evidence-based algorithm backed by decades of scientific research.

Here is the exact same clip — after being filtered through the SSP’s algorithm.

What does the music sound like?

The SSP contains several vocal and non-vocal music playlists and levels of filtration to help you support client engagement and participation in the listening process. Multiple vocal and non-vocal playlists allow the SSP to be accessible to many populations, and allow you to customize delivery for your client.

Everyone can benefit from
nervous system regulation.

The SSP is suitable across the lifespan, and has been designed to complement a variety of therapeutic approaches and modalities.

SSP providers are psychologists, therapists, social workers, occupational therapists, speech therapists, school counselors, and more.

The SSP supports many client populations and may be helpful in reducing symptoms and supporting overall health and resiliency for people seeking support for:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Neurodevelopmental differences, such as autism, hyperactivity and attention
  • Learning difficulties
  • Auditory and other sensory processing differences
  • Trauma history
  • Sleep
  • Neurological changes
  • Other challenges related to autonomic dysfunction, such as eating difficulties, gut health, and more

The SSP can be combined with and is supportive of other therapies, including:

The SSP is trusted by these practitioners and professional organizations as part of their healing toolkit.
