Discover how the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) can support not only humans but also our beloved pets. In this post, I share my dog Amy’s remarkable transformation—from anxious and sound‑sensitive to calm and playful—and explain how SSP and RRP can help both species experience greater safety and regulation. I also outline common areas of improvement for humans after SSP and note that when clients work with me, I include supervision of their pet’s listening process at no extra cost.

Discover how the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) can support autistic individuals of all ages—not by changing who they are, but by helping them feel safer, more regulated, and more connected. This article explores how SSP can gently reduce sensory overwhelm, improve communication, and foster a powerful positive feedback loop of safety and connection. It also highlights how the Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) can further support grounding, sleep, and digestion.

Discover how the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), sometimes in combination with Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and the new Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP), can support those living with misophonia and misokinesia. Drawing from real-life case examples, this article explores how nervous system regulation can lead to profound shifts—even after years of struggle—and why healing often begins by helping the body feel safe again.

An overview of the importance of SSP being titrated to the specific nervous system of the individual, and how I arrived to the discovery of Microdosing SSP.
