Safe & Sound Protocol
The Science of Feeling Safe
Access your nervous system's natural ability
to feel safe and calm, from the inside out.
Back to Safety
There is a distinction between what we hear and how to we hear it.
Stephen Porges, the founder of Polyvagual Theory and the science supporting SSP, helps us to understand that "trauma compromises our ability to engage with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection."
The purpose of SSP is to initiate and access a physiological state conducive to well-being, positive engagement with others, and growth (iLs, 2022). In other words, its purpose is to help us move safely and freely towards patterns of connection.
Patterns of connection help us recognize and access our innate intelligent emotional guidance system from a place of safety, curiosity and learning. With this ability, we can often perceive a wider range of choices and possibilities when interacting with ourselves, others and the world. Find ease in social situations.
