From Polyvagal Theory pioneer Dr. Stephen Porges comes a transformative new resource for nervous system regulation, healing, and emotional well-being.
We all want to live and share our truth, but when we don’t feel safe, it can be impossible to fully express—or even know—who we really are. Our nervous system impacts our daily well-being, to our benefit or detriment. Understanding how may be key to truly knowing yourself and better supporting the challenges holding you back. If you’ve struggled with chronic anxiety, persistent stress, or feeling "stuck," the key may be understanding and supporting your nervous system.
In Safe and Sound, Dr. Stephen Porges and co-author Karen Onderko introduce the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a groundbreaking, science-backed therapy based on the renowned Polyvagal Theory. SSP involves listening to music that’s been filtered to prioritize frequencies of human speech, providing auditory input that enables the nervous system to reset to its homeostatic state.
In this book, you will discover:
• The Science of Safety: Learn how rhythmic, filtered sound—designed to prioritize human speech frequencies—can act as a powerful tool to retune your nervous system.
• Evidence-Based Applications: Explore how SSP helps address a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, perfectionism, auditory sensitivity, and social interaction difficulties.
• Real-Life Transformation: Through compelling case studies, see how autonomic regulation supports healing for those navigating ADHD, autism, COVID recovery, hypermobility, Parkinson’s disease, and more.
• Actionable Tools: Whether you are a patient, caregiver, or clinician, Safe and Sound provides a comprehensive guide to understanding your nervous system and accessing the resilience you need to thrive.
"When the nervous system regains its capacity to feel safe," say Porges and Onderko, "individuals can express themselves genuinely, engage comfortably with others, and embrace a life of greater openness and ease."
If you are looking for a path to long-awaited healing, Safe and Sound offers the foundation for a more resilient, connected, and peaceful life.
