Safe and Sound Protocol/
Rest and Restore Protocol

The SSP & RRP help people experience a felt sense of safety and peace.

They are practical tools to help you move from surviving to thriving. 

​

The SSP is a 5-hour listening therapy designed to rebalance your nervous system and reduce stress. Using specially filtered music, the SSP can improve your emotional regulation and resilience, decrease sensory sensitivities, and increase capacity for social connection.  The Rest and Restore Protocol is the newest offering for nervous system regulation, designed to promote deep relaxation as well as mental and physical restoration.

The two listening therapies are the primary practical applications of Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory. The SSP & RRP can be effective for children, adolescents, and adults. Access to the SSP/RRP program is distinct from individual therapy, although it is often provided in conjunction with ongoing therapy.

​

The SSP/RRP is a research-based therapy showing significant results in the following areas:

  • Anxiety

  • Trauma-related challenges

  • Social and emotional difficulties

  • Auditory and other sensory sensitivities

  • Sleep difficulties

  • Internal agitation, irritability, and emotional reactivity

  • Those with physical conditions exacerbated by stress
