THE SAFE & SOUND PROTOCOL
WHAT IS THE SSP?
The Safe & Sound Protocol was developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, author of Polyvagal Theory, which has revolutionized how therapists understand Trauma. This protocol is highly researched and maintained at the highest level.
"This non-invasive intervention involves listening to music that has been processed specifically to retune the nervous system (regulating state) to introduce a sense of safety and the ability to socially engage...."The music trains the auditory pathways by focusing on the frequency envelope of human speech. As the client learns to process these speech-related frequencies, they improve the functioning of two cranial nerves that are important for promoting overall social behavior. Cranial Nerve VII (Facial Nerve) helps clients focus on human voice and tune out irrelevant frequencies. Cranial Nerve X (Vagus Nerve) enables self-soothing and autonomic regulation."
The SSP is a research-based therapy showing significant results in just five days in the following areas:
A BRIEF VIDEO EXPLAINING the SSP
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A PSYCHOTHERAPY CLIENT OF MINE TO DO THE SAFE & SOUND PROTOCOL WITH ME.
The SSP is delivered in 5 one hour listening sessions (1.5 hour appointment) or 10 thirty minute listening sessions (1 hour appointment). Sessions are offered as in-person sessions, but there is an option for doing remote listening sessions for clients who are eligible. Remote sessions are delivered as 10 thirty minute listening sessions (1 hour appointment) or can be customized to the client.
FEES FOR SSP:
Fees depend on choice of 5 or 10 sessions as well as if you'll be doing remote sessions or coming into the office (fee range is $500-$700).
Note: Initial session(s) to establish resources & to provide ample psycho-education for the protocol can be covered by insurance, but the 5 (or 10) sessions are not covered by insurance. I am happy to provide a receipt if you want to try to submit to your HSA/FSA account for reimbursement.
5 SESSION SERIES WILL BE OFFERED IN PERSON: OCTOBER 23-25, 30th & 31st
