The Science of Safety: The Foundation of the Safe and Sound Protocol

Learn about the SSP and the impact it has in clinical practices!

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an acoustic vagus nerve stimulator developed by Dr. Stephen Porges based on his Polyvagal Theory. The purpose of this auditory intervention is to help your clients access a physiological state conducive to well-being, positive engagement with others, and growth in learning and therapy.

By helping to access this calm and grounded state, the SSP promotes a neural platform for health, growth and restoration in patients.

Note that the administration of the SSP is exclusively available for SSP Providers.
