Ways to Listen to the Safe and Sound Protocol
The SSP is a fully customizable program that gives providers the ability to deliver it in many different environments.
Whether in person or remotely, in a group session or one-on-one, and indoors or outdoors, there are many ways to create a safe environment for effective SSP delivery.
In-Person
The SSP can be delivered in person with the SSP Provider being in the room to titrate as the session progresses and maintain co-regulation.
The SSP with Gentle Activity
Engaging in gentle activities, such as puzzles, beading, painting or relaxing with a pet, can maintain regulation while listening to the SSP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SSP customizable? Program delivery may be customized and not all clients need to follow this exact order of listening. The pathways and playlists allow you to create an individualized treatment plan that works best for your client.
What is the duration of each listening session? Listen at a pace that works for your client. There is no rush to complete the SSP. You can adjust the duration of listening sessions based on your client’s autonomic response, delivering as little as one minute per listening session. Guidance on developing client listening plans is included in your Foundational SSP Training.
Can the SSP be repeated? The SSP can be repeated as needed but is not recommended to be used continuously over time. After completing the SSP, some providers report benefits through repeating the entire program (following safe guidelines).
Is vocal music more or less impactful than non-vocal music? No, both types of music have been treated with the same filtration algorithm and are equally impactful. The reason for including vocal and non-vocal music is to appeal to a wide range of listeners.
Will there be more playlists? Yes, Unyte hopes to release two more SSP playlists this year!
Can you switch playlists throughout the course of the SSP? Yes. The filtration of each playlist within each pathway is the same, so your client may listen to different playlists as they progress through the SSP.
