Safe and Sound Protocol Group™
An immersion in auditory listening to regulate your nervous system
“Only when we are in a calm physiological state can we convey cues of safety to another.”
― Stephen W. Porges, The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe
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.
This may be a good fit for you if:
- you experience ongoing or situational anxiety or depression
- you have a history of trauma
- you long for regulating tools
- you have a history of auditory complaints
- you want to send and receive accurate social cues
What participants may expect in the group:
- hands on use of the SSP app on a phone or device
- shared experience in dyads and small groups
- experiential practice of regulating resources
- development of a personal resources toolkit
Using SSP may help you to:
- calm fight/flight/collapse response
- identify cues of danger and safety
- connect with self, the world and others
- increase knowledge of polyvagal theory
The format includes brief lectures, demonstrations, music, private reflection and sharing in dyads, and small group interactions, all in a confidential and welcoming zoom setting. You are never required to share personal information.
All are welcome. If you have questions or concerns about your participation contact Hayley
