Safe and Sound Protocol

What is the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)?

The SSP is a research-based listening therapy, utilizing filtered popular music to exercise the muscles in the inner ear to increase neuroception of safety, increase social engagement, decrease auditory sensitivities, increase emotional regulation, decrease anxiety, increase attention, and decrease trauma response of fight/flight/freeze. 

​

The SSP consists of 3 listening programs: Connect, Core, and Balance, each consisting of five hours of music. These may be delivered in 60, 30, 15 minute or less segments, depending on the individual needs of the client. Listening segments may occur daily, depending on the individual needs of the client. We will schedule a SSP intake for any new clients to determine the listening scheduled together. 

​

SSP can be experienced via remote delivery through a smart phone app. For remote delivery, each person needs to have a smart phone and obtain a set of over-the-ear headphones. If there is a noise-canceling function, clients must be able to turn that off. Earbuds, on the ear headphones, and noise canceling headphones cannot be used for SSP.

What does the SSP cost?

SSP is not covered under insurance and cannot be billed as a regular therapy appointment.

To break down the cost for a provider to offer SSP to you, it looks like this: There is a fee to access the SSP via the website/App as a client, the provider needs to check your app progress and assessments, and the provider also needs to coordinate your treatment ALONG with therapy.

Being a client in therapy whether with me OR your own therapist is key in receiving services.

​

I offer two packages:

​

Package one:

SSP including therapy with me every other week for 3 months.

$1000

 

Package two:

Other options are available on a case by case basis. But this program needs you to be committed to ongoing usage and sessions.
