Feel Less Stressed, Overwhelmed, and On Edge with the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
A Simple, Science-Backed Approach to Feeling Calmer and More in Control
Does this sound like you?
- “I feel anxious all the time, like I can’t shut my brain off.”
- “I get overwhelmed easily, and little things set me off.”
- “I have a hard time focusing, no matter how much I try.”
- “I don’t feel safe in my own body—it’s like I’m always bracing for something bad to happen.”
- “I struggle in social situations and feel drained after being around people.”
- “Loud noises, bright lights, or too much going on make me feel completely overstimulated.”
- “I’ve tried therapy, but my body still reacts like I’m stuck in fight-or-flight mode.”
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and it’s not all in your head. Your nervous system is constantly working behind the scenes, shaping how you feel, how you react, and how you connect with others.
When your nervous system is stuck in stress mode, everything feels harder—relationships, focus, sleep, emotions, even your physical health. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is designed to help.
What Is the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)?
SSP is a simple, non-invasive therapy that uses specially filtered music to help your body and brain feel safer and more balanced. It’s based on research about how our nervous system reacts to stress, anxiety, trauma, and sensory overload.
By listening to specific sound frequencies, SSP helps gently rewire your nervous system so you can feel:
✔️ Less anxious and on edge
✔️ More in control of your emotions
✔️ Less reactive to stress and loud noises
✔️ More focused and present in daily life
✔️ Calmer and more comfortable in social situations
Who Is SSP For?
SSP is for anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of stress, overwhelm, or emotional exhaustion—especially if traditional therapy hasn’t helped as much as you hoped.
This could be life-changing for you if you struggle with:
✅ Anxiety & Panic Attacks – You constantly feel “on edge” and can’t relax.
✅ PTSD & Trauma – Your body still reacts like it’s in danger, even when you’re safe.
✅ ADHD & Focus Struggles – Your mind jumps from one thing to the next, and staying on task feels impossible.
✅ Autism & Sensory Sensitivities – Loud noises, busy places, and bright lights overwhelm you.
✅ Perfectionism & Burnout – You’re exhausted from pushing yourself so hard, but you don’t know how to slow down.
✅ Postpartum Anxiety or Depression – You love your baby, but the constant stress, worry, or disconnection feels unbearable.
How Does SSP Work?
It’s Simple:
1️⃣ You listen to specially designed music through over-the-ear headphones in a calm environment.
2️⃣ The music stimulates your nervous system, teaching your body how to recognize and respond to safety.
3️⃣ Over time, your brain and body start reacting differently—stress feels less overwhelming, and calm becomes easier to access.
💡 Think of SSP as a “reset button” for your nervous system.
Many people say they start noticing changes within a few sessions—like feeling more relaxed, having more patience, or being less bothered by things that used to overwhelm them.
What You Can Expect from SSP
💙 Feel Calmer & Less Anxious – Your body won’t go into “panic mode” so easily.
💙 Improve Your Focus – Fewer distractions and racing thoughts.
💙 Better Sleep – Your nervous system won’t be stuck in high alert, so sleep comes easier.
💙 Handle Stress More Easily – Things that used to feel overwhelming won’t hit you as hard.
💙 Feel More Comfortable in Social Situations – Less anxiety, more connection.
💙 Less Sensory Overload – No more feeling drained by noise, lights, or chaos.
What Makes SSP Different from Talk Therapy?
🧠 You don’t have to “think” your way out of stress—SSP works directly with your nervous system.
🌱 You don’t have to relive painful memories or talk about trauma—your body learns to feel safer on its own.
🎧 It’s easy to do—you just listen to the music, and your nervous system does the rest.
If therapy alone hasn’t helped, SSP can be the missing piece.

Common Questions About SSP
“Is SSP just music therapy?”
No—SSP is a targeted science-backed intervention that works directly with your nervous system. It’s not about relaxing—it’s about retraining your body’s stress response. Click here to hear an example
“How fast will I feel a difference?”
Some people notice changes immediately, while others take a few weeks. The effects are cumulative, meaning they build over time.
“Can I do SSP if I already see a therapist?”
Yes! SSP works on its own or as an add-on to therapy. If you have a therapist, I can collaborate with them to make sure you’re getting the best results.
“Does SSP work for kids?”
Yes! SSP is great for kids who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, autism, or sensory sensitivities.
“Is SSP safe for everyone?”
SSP is gentle, but it might not be the best fit for everyone. If you have severe auditory sensitivities, active psychosis, or unmanaged medical conditions, I’ll help determine if it’s right for you.
