Unlock Inner Calm with the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

Sound Therapy - Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a healing listening program designed to reduce strain and anxiety while improving social engagement and resilience.

Developed through Dr. Stephen Porges, SSP uses mainly engineered music to stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays a vital role in emotional regulation and physiological calmness. At Joyful Development, we provide the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) as a non-invasive, research-backed approach to enhancing emotional well-being, helping you feel grounded, stable, and more connected to the world around you.

We offer the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), an evidence-based, therapeutic program designed to help children with sensory processing disorders, anxiety, autism, and other developmental challenges. SSP focuses on improving emotional regulation, auditory processing, and social engagement by using specially filtered music to stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in calming the nervous system.

How SSP Works

The SSP program uses a series of listening sessions where children listen to specifically designed music that gradually reduces auditory sensitivity and helps them feel more secure and socially engaged. This auditory intervention is delivered in a safe, supportive environment, whether at home, in our clinic, or through telehealth.
