safe and sound protocol group

Safe and Sound Protocol Group

The Safe and Sound Protocol (for Adults) is a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors. The SSP is delivered through specially-filter music that tones the middle ear muscle and activates the cranial nerves, thereby “waking up” your vagus nerve. This group is not a certifying group. It is a practical application experience. From this experience, you may decide to become certified in the SSP delivery. There are NOT CEU’s for this process group.

Is there more?

  • On-ear headphones and earbuds are not recommended
  • Avoid noise-canceling headphones (unless noise-canceling can be turned off)
  • Avoid headphones with a bass boosting feature or turn it off.
  • Bluetooth headphones are approved if the distance between the headphones and the device is kept to a minimum so as to not disrupt the music.
  • Each participant will be invited to install the free SSP app on their personal phone for the duration of the group.
  • There is no additional knowledge required to participate. There are no prerequisites.
