Transform Your SE Practice by Restoring the Felt Sense of Safety

Combined delivery of Somatic Experiencing® and the Safe and Sound Protocol create the conditions to support individual, intergenerational and collective trauma restoration.

Pioneered by Dr. Stephen Porges, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) shifts the nervous system out of defense and into a felt sense of safety by stimulating the vagus nerve using scientifically filtered music.

Why Somatic Experiencing® + The Safe and Sound Protocol?

Designed to re-shape the systems of relational safety, the SSP works in tandem with SE™ to enhance embodiment, strengthen the pathways for effective co-regulation, and disrupt protective defense patterns that keep us out of relational harmony and connection.

Improve the accuracy of neuroception through an invitation of present moment safety.
Enhance client’s capacity to orient to present safety — inside, outside and in-between.
Activate the social engagement system, inviting bound survival energy to emerge, discharge and complete using SE™.
Through resonance, the SSP supports the restoration of individual, intergenerational and collective trauma, resulting in greater resilience.

The SSP — An Essential Resource for SEPs

Tending to elements of safety and defense during trauma processing, the SSP offers a passive support to re-establish a felt sense of safety in the relational system, clearing trauma and re-establishing the ability to connect — with the self, others and the world

Combined delivery of SE™ and SSP strengthens the neurological platform for co- and self-regulation, working seamlessly with the SE principles of SIBAM, Over- and Under- Coupling and Pendulation.

Using the frequencies of safety, the SSP invites encapsulated aspects of trauma into conscious awareness for processing and integration as neural pathways are tuned toward relational reciprocity.

“Through the mechanisms of sound and vibration my clients enter the field of dissonance held in the personal and collective body and entrain it toward greater coherence, allowing them to see, feel, and sense the forces that connect us in our universal experience as humans.”
Paula Scatoloni, LCSW, SEP, BASE, TEB

  • Neuroception Enriches the communication pathways of the sensory systems to enhance accurate neuroception inside, outside, and in-between.
  • Restores what it means to be human Re-establishes our ability to engage and be engaged in relationship, compassion and connection.

What Our Providers Have to Say:

“[The SSP] has allowed me to work with clients, children and adults, through a very short period of time and achieve results that normally would take me six months or more in a regular therapeutic process.

I see trust, I see connection, I see safety being kindled at a level that the therapeutic process can flow without barriers.”

— Ana do Valle, OTR, SEP
