In this review of Safe and Sound: A Polyvagal Approach for Connection, Change, and Healing, I explore how the book showcases the power and flexibility of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) through a wide range of real-life case studies. From subtle shifts to dramatic transformations, and from in-person to remote delivery, the stories span diverse client concerns—including trauma, chronic illness, anxiety, dissociation, and more. Whether you’re a provider or someone exploring nervous system healing for yourself, this book offers deep insight into what’s possible when we truly listen to the body.

This inspiring case study explores the profound impact of microdosed SSP on a highly complex teen with dyslexia, school trauma, and PDA. Despite listening to only four minutes of SSP Core, he began writing a trilogy - 300,000 words long so far - alongside remarkable gains in emotional regulation, verbal expression, and creative output.

This article explores the relationship between the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and tinnitus—clearing up common misconceptions, explaining potential risks, and highlighting how thoughtful pacing and expert guidance can make SSP safe - and in some cases, even beneficial for those with tinnitus.

In this podcast interview, I share how I work as a therapist using Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, SSP, RRP, and intuition to support deep, lasting change. We explore nervous system healing, provider alignment, polyvagal-informed therapy, and even using SSP with pets.

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.

No matter what healing approach you offer, your presence is part of the medicine. This article shares three essential pillars that help any provider build a practice that feels joyful, sustainable, and truly aligned—with support for both your clients and your own nervous system.

In this post, I share the joy of a recent session with a Safe & Sound Protocol provider, where I combined Brainspotting with bite-sized SSP consultation in a deeply intuitive and healing. We were both teary at different points as we witnessed her reclaiming her confidence and more of who she really is. It’s a story about following what resonates, trusting the process, and the quiet magic that happens when healing is supported from the inside out.

Worried about “side effects” with SSP? You’re not alone—but what many call side effects are actually signs of a nervous system in motion. In this post, I share why I get excited (not alarmed) by temporary dysregulation, how exquisitely sensitive clients often respond most powerfully, and why titration is the key to success. Whether you’re a provider or a client, this perspective might just shift how you view the process—and the possibilities.

A heartfelt personal account of my transformative journey with the Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP). I have experienced many profound improvements. Along the way it was a gradual, almost imperceptible process with some dysregulation along the way. Once processed and settled, that dysregulation lead to even deeper healing.

What if productivity isn’t about pushing through but about working with your natural rhythm? In this post, I share how a day of following my instincts—repotting plants, building LEGO flowers, and walking my dogs—led to more creativity, inspiration, and progress than forcing myself to work. This shift, influenced by the Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) and embracing my neurodivergence, has helped me move away from rigid expectations and toward a more compassionate, effective way of working. Read on to see why rest isn’t the opposite of productivity—it’s a key part of it.
