Blog #ssp with pets

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.

Watch the recording of "How Anxiety Manifests in the Nervous System". Unyte Health welcomed Carol Ann Brayley, neurodivergent clinical social worker, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and expert Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) provider to this Provider Spotlight webinar. This session highlighted her clinical use of the SSP within the context of anxiety, the nervous system and physical health. Exploring the evolutionary basis of anxiety and what happens to our nervous system when we’re anxious, this webinar shared considerations for approaching SSP delivery with anxious clients and how their nervous system may respond. We discussed how the SSP can lessen anxiety by cultivating an internal state of safety and social engagement and discussed practical success stories. You can expect to learn: What the purpose of anxiety is and how it can manifest in the body and nervous system. Strategies for grounding anxious clients. Effective SSP titration for maximized therapeutic impact. How adding the SSP can add to your practice.
