Emotional Regulation Music Listening Program

Listening to the specially engineered filtered music provided by The Safe and Sound Protocol, SSP, program from Unyte iLs can help retune the nervous system and assist in moving our hyperaroused, stressed or collapsed hypoaroused state to a calm state where we can engage with life optimally, in a non over reactive way, with good focus, clear thinking and communication. This re tuning actually increases our capacity for better emotional regulation including anger management and anxiety. The SSP  is a form of therapy provided by Life Harmony upon subscription. It is accessed though an app and we coach and accompany our clients before, during and after the program on their listening journey to recovery. It compliments perfectly many other theraeutic modalities like EMDR, Neurofeedback, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Counselling  and traditional psychotherapies. Even remedial reading programs are more effective when students use the SSP as it increases focus and attention in the remedial lessons. Those on the Autism spectrum, those with neurodivergent traits, those challenged with anxiety, ADD and ADHD tend to also live in very hyperaroused states, so this modality is also very beneficial to them. http://www.whatisthessp.com When we experience big events, be they accidents, ill health, loss and death, financial, natural disasters, emotional or physical abuse or neglect, be it ongoing or one off incidences, we feel stress, distress and more often than not, traumatised. Even maintaining relationships can be challenging emotionally. Emotional distress is stored in our body; in cells, organs, muscles, our SOMA. Our nervous systems jump into hyperarousal, the threat-fight mode very quickly, and hijack us. We can even remain stuck in those threat states if we are not appropriately supported to process the danger or threat. Our nervous system can also collapse into freeze hypoarousal state when the distress is prolonged. Sustained stressed and emotional overwhelm states can lead to sleep problems, brain fog, anxiety, ill health; cardiac, diabetes, gastrointestinal, inflamation, muscular issues and more. Our thoughts can become very erratic, irrational, paranoid and negative. Cognitive functions get compromised and our behaviors can become obsessive, compulsive, agressive, angry, fearful or withdrawn. We become addicted to substances or self destructive behaviors. Healthy social engagement can be a huge challenge for many people when depressed or after a traumatic experience, so too for many on the Autistic or neurodivergent spectrum. The ability and agility to regulate one’s emotions and nervous system is an essential skill. Effective emotional regulation can help individuals respond to emotional experiences in a socially acceptable and flexible way, thereby allowing them to adapt to changing circumstances. The SSP is being used all over the world by therapists to support tcliets on their recovery journey.
