The Safe and Sound Protocol

Improve your relationship with yourself and others through nervous system regulation.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful listening therapy designed to help regulate the nervous system, so you can better connect with yourself, others and the world around you.

Five hours of music.

Our brains and nervous systems are wired to look for cues of safety from other people through things like body language, facial expression or tone of voice so that we know we are ok.

​However, if you have a hard time interpreting these cues of safety due to past experiences or the way you take in information, your brain and body can misinterpret these cues, limiting your ability to connect in a meaningful way.

Through the specially filtered music, the SSP sends cues of safety to your nervous system, building the foundation for awareness, embodiment and resilience.

Works with other therapies

The SSP can also be used to support other therapies, including:

  • Neurodevelopmental treatment, such as occupational therapy, play therapy and sensory integration therapy

  • Mental health and trauma therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other forms of talk therapy (e.g. DBT, MCBT, etc.)

Safe and effective for all ages and families

The SSP has helped over 100,000 children, adolescents and adults in more than 70 countries worldwide. Uniquely, many families experience the SSP together and in support of one another.


Subconsciously, your nervous system is always looking for cues of safety from other people through things like body language, facial expression or tone of voice.

But if you have a harder time interpreting these cues of safety due to past experiences or the way you take in information, your brain and body can misinterpret these cues, limiting your ability to connect in a meaningful way.
