Listening to The Safe and Sound Protocol, SSP, a specially engineered filtered 5 hour music program provided by Unyte iLs providers can help retune the nervous system and assist in many areas of our life.
When we experience big emotionally overwhelming events, be they accidents, ill health, loss, natural disasters, emotional or physical abuse or neglect, be it ongoing or one-off incidents, we feel stress, distress, and more often than not, traumatized.
Emotional distress is stored in our body; in cells, organs, muscles, and our SOMA. Sustained stress and emotional overwhelm lead to sleep problems, brain fog, anxiety, ill health, cardiac, diabetes, gastrointestinal, inflammation, muscular issues, and more. Our thoughts can become very erratic, irrational, paranoid, and negative. Cognitive and executive functions, clarity of thinking, memory, and comprehension get compromised, and our behaviors can become obsessive, compulsive, aggressive, angry, fearful, or withdrawn. We become addicted to substances or self-destructive behaviors.
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 a freeze hypoarousal state when the distress is prolonged.
The SSP trains our nervous system to return to calm states more quickly. It actually increases our capacity to tolerate stressors and triggers, thus facilitating us to live life more optimally, in a non-over-reactive way, with more peace, good focus, clear thinking, and healthy communication. This re-tuning actually increases our capacity for better emotional regulation, including anger management and anxiety.
Healthy social engagement can be a huge challenge for many people when anxious, depressed, or after traumatic experiences, so too for many on the Autistic or neurodivergent spectrum. The ability and agility to regulate one’s emotions and nervous system are essential skills. Those with neurodivergent traits, ADD, ADHD, anxiety, and stress, on the Autism spectrum, tend to be in hyperaroused states, so this modality is proven to be very beneficial to them. http://www.whatisthessp.com
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 a form of therapy provided by Life Harmony upon subscription. It is accessed through an app on a phone or tablet, and we coach and accompany our clients before, during, and after the program on their listening journey to greater resilience and or recovery.
It complements perfectly many other therapeutic 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.
The SSP is being used all over the world by therapists to support clients on their growth and recovery journeys.
