Chronic stress doesn’t just wear you out—it rewires your nervous system.

Over time, your brain develops a confirmation bias that prioritizes looking for danger and stress, even when it’s not there.

This self-protective state can make it harder to feel compassion, connect with others, or even trust yourself.

You may feel stuck in a cycle of hypervigilance, irritability, or emotional disconnection.

Good news! Your nervous system can change again—this time for the better.

Safe and Sound Protocol: A Path to Reset

By sending cues of safety through specially filtered music, the SSP is designed to help your nervous system shift out of stress mode and into safety.

The SSP is a research-based therapy showing significant results in just a few months in the following areas:

  • Social and emotional difficulties, including social anxiety
  • Auditory sensitivities
  • Speech and language
  • Anxiety and trauma related challenges
  • Behavior organization
  • Stressors that impact social engagement
  • Hyperactivity
  • Hypervigilance and dissociation
  • Panic attacks
  • Chronic irritability and reactivity
  • Sleep and digestive patterns
