The Safe and Sound Protocol.
The Safe and Sound Protocol, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, is a non-invasive therapeutic tool designed to both calm the nervous system and stimulate the vagus nerve. This evidence-based intervention reshapes neural pathways through vagus nerve stimulation, employing an inside-out, bottom-up approach to healing.
Applicable to all age groups, from children to adults, the SSP has proven effective in addressing trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences, and more. This five-hour auditory intervention not only activates the social engagement system but also expedites therapeutic outcomes, fostering physiological state regulation and enhancing overall resilience.
The Polyvagal Theory helps us understand the impact of our sense of safety, danger, or life-threat on behaviour, dissecting the intricate interplay within the body and nervous system.
This theoretical framework offers a scientific foundation for implementing physiological, or "bottom-up," therapies that can positively alter how we feel, think, and connect with others.
