What does it mean to feel safe and sound? We might be free from obvious physical danger but does your nervous system know that?
When you find you are anxious and feeling stressed, or perhaps fatigued and want to shut down, or hide, that may indicate that you are not feeling safe. This is a body sense that you might not be completely aware of.
Perhaps you know what you should do but you can’t bring yourself to do it. Your brain tells you ‘you should’ and yet your body tells you 'No, it’s not safe”.
If bustling environments like busy restaurants overwhelm you and you are sensitive to noise, there's compelling scientific evidence suggesting that the middle ear muscles may have been affected—and the Safe & Sound Protocol offers a solution by retuning your nervous system to recognise sounds of safety
Safe & Sound
The Safe and Sound Protocol can help
The Science
Evidence-based listening therapy offered by certified practitioners.
Developed by Dr Stephen Porges and used by practitioners around the world, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is based on decades of research that is now known as the Polyvagal Theory.
Safe and effective for all ages
The Protocol
Listen to modulated music through over-the-ear headphones in short sessions, not necessarily every day.
This music is delivered through a smartphone app.
Initially, you listen during a session and then you listen in your own time.
The Result
Retune your nervous system so you feel calmer and less reactive.
Reduces stress and auditory sensitivity.
Enhances social engagement and resilience.
Increases your capacity to respond effectively to life's daily challenges.
We can re-tune our nervous system to feel safe enough to do the things we want to do.
“If you want to improve the world, start by making people feel safer” Dr Stephen Porges
