Overview
A groundbreaking protocol from Polyvagal Theory pioneer Dr. Stephen Porges, highlighting real-life stories of transformation and healing.
The nervous system impacts daily well-being, to your benefit or detriment. Understanding how may be the key to better supporting the challenges that have been holding you back. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a groundbreaking listening therapy based in Polyvagal Theory (PVT), which looks at the role the autonomic nervous system and vagus nerve play in regulating health and behavior. Resetting the nervous system to its homeostatic state with SSP is the lock, waiting to be opened.
Porges and Onderko offer a glimpse into this innovative approach, highlighting not only the origin of SSP and its best practices, but also real-life stories of transformation and healing. The book showcases clinical evidence demonstrating SSP’s impact on emotional dysregulation, social engagement difficulty, and even auditory sensitivity, providing a comprehensive understanding of its therapeutic potential. Case studies and stories cover a range of topics, including depression, perfectionism, addiction, COVID recovery, navigating gender identity, living with Parkinson’s disease, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more.
Illustrating the incredible range of application and how autonomic regulation can lead to significant improvements—from stress and anxiety to grief and trauma—Safe and Sound demonstrates how SSP can promote a state of safety and calm, facilitating the foundation for long-awaited healing.
