Nervous System Reset

Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)

A science-backed, five-day auditory intervention that helps the nervous system feel safe — improving social engagement, reducing anxiety, and making all other therapies more effective.

About the SSP

What Is the Safe & Sound Protocol?

Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges — the neuroscientist behind Polyvagal Theory — the Safe & Sound Protocol is a five-hour auditory intervention that uses specially filtered music to retrain the nervous system.

The SSP works by activating the neural pathways associated with safety and social connection, making it easier for the brain and body to shift out of fight, flight, or freeze states and into a regulated, open state where learning, connection, and healing can happen.

In simple terms: it signals to your nervous system that the world is safe — and that changes everything.

"After my son completes the five hours, he sleeps better, is generally calmer, and follows directions without the constant arguing. The difference is remarkable."

The Process

How the SSP Works

Initial Consultation

We review your history, current challenges, and goals to determine if the SSP is a good fit and plan the right listening schedule.

5-Hour Listening Program

Over five sessions (in-clinic or remotely), you listen to specially processed music through headphones — often while engaging in calming, regulating activities.

Check-ins & Adjustments

We check in regularly via live telehealth or scheduled appointments, adjusting the program based on your response to optimize results.

Grounding Support

We recommend regulation and grounding activities throughout the process to support your nervous system as it shifts and settles.
