Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, founder of the Polyvagal Theory, the Safe and Sound Protocol is a non-invasive acoustic vagus nerve stimulator that helps you connect with yourself, others, and the world from a foundation of physiological safety. Clients experiences the SSP playlists through over-the-ear headphones which can be delivered in-clinic or remotely. Our nervous system is designed to protect us from danger. When it senses danger, it sets off the fight, flight or freezes response and the body goes into high alert ready to find safety from threats. This is healthy, positive and life-saving. Sometimes, our brain gets it wrong. It interprets harmless events as dangerous, and we end up in a constant state of anxiety or high alert. This often occurs when trauma happens in early childhood or is repeated over a long period of time. Highly sensitive people who are attuned to be very sensitive to stimuli are susceptible to this experience. This happens on a subconscious level. Even if logically we know we are safe, we are "wired" or "primed" to feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed as we exist in a constant state of danger. Our brains are stuck in a dangerous feedback loop, and we don't know how to stop it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2f436d73a70b5e9fff2821/1652742955256-MW4XCQOX5AD289OW3Q17/unsplash-image-PDX_a_82obo.jpg Safe & Sound Protocol - How it works. The Safe and Sound Protocol interrupts and redirects that physiological feedback loop with cues of safety. Safety cues help shift the nervous system out of chronic defense and high-alert into a safe and connected state. It does this by stimulating the neural networks associated with listening using filtered music focusing on the frequency range of the human voice. Through this mechanism, the SSP alters the way sounds are interpreted, and moves the nervous system from a state of defense and into a state of safety, connection and regulation. Resetting your brain's wiring from the bottom up allows you to develop resilience and flexibility to tolerate and handle what life brings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2f436d73a70b5e9fff2821/1652743296274-YV4B3KVRYNP3FMQWNHYF/unsplash-image-zgrEUG9U7EU.jpg Safe & Sound Protocol - What are the Benefits of Safe & Sound Protocol? ☑ When we are safe and connected, we process emotions, eat, digest and eliminate food, and utilize our support system with flexibility and ease. ☑ We feel less anxiety and depression. We feel connected and safe in the world and at ease with ourselves. ☑ We can handle our emotions and process our experiences in a healthy way, and make conscious decisions about how we choose to engage with ourselves and the people in our lives. Safe & Sound Protocol helps you progress in therapy by shifting your fundamental experiences of the world. https://www.shelleyjoytom.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2022-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2f436d73a70b5e9fff2821/1597517817521-X2WBI6Q8CRVKO68PO53D/shelley+blue+dress+2.JPG About Shelley Tom, MS, LPC, CDWF, CDTLF, RYT 200 https://www.shelleyjoytom.com/dare-to-lead daily 0.75 2020-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg Dare to Lead - Make it stand out.
