Ever feel like your body is overly sensitive to your surroundings? Maybe loud noises feel overwhelming, or small challenges leave you feeling on edge. This heightened sensitivity can result from a nervous system stuck in overdrive, often due to prolonged stress or trauma.
To begin calming your nervous system on your own, you can try practising slow diaphragmatic breathing—inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling slowly. Spending time in nature, engaging in gentle movement like yoga, or even humming can help activate the vagus nerve and encourage your body and mind to recalibrate.
The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is a therapeutic intervention designed to reset and calm your nervous system by engaging the vagus nerve—a critical part of your body’s relaxation and recovery system. SSP therapy involves listening to specially designed music that promotes internal feelings of safety and calm. Over a series of sessions, the music helps your body and brain relearn how to regulate responses to stress, building resilience and improving emotional balance. All you need to do is enjoy the music while being accompanied by your clinician, and your nervous system will do the rest.
SSP is ideal for individuals experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, PTSD, or difficulties with social engagement and connection.
At TGI, we offer SSP as part of our holistic approach to healing. With a guided experience, we help you reset your nervous system and build a stronger foundation for well-being. Contact us today to learn more about our services, or to book a sessiona at www.traumaandgrief.com.
