About
SSP is a therapeutic listening intervention that aims to foster better social interactions, emotional control, and behavioral organization. The technique utilizes specially filtered music to stimulate the vagus nerve.
The Safe and Sound Protocol, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, is grounded in Polyvagal Theory. It focuses on enhancing social engagement and emotional regulation by using carefully filtered music to influence the vagus nerve. This nerve is crucial for the autonomic nervous system and plays a significant role in fostering a sense of safety and calm.
- Polyvagal Theory: SSP is based on this theory, which emphasizes the importance of the vagus nerve in emotional regulation, social connection, and stress responses.
- Specially Filtered Music: The program uses specially chosen music to help the brain understand and react to social signals more easily.
