    Episode 17: My Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Journey. Part 1

    Hey there!  This little ep is a tiny window into some of my Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Journey. I cover the main things I noticed immediately after starting the SSP - and I mention a huge realization I had one day whilst sitting at the Murray River and feeling so different in my body (in the best way). What is the SSP? - The SSP is a short-course you can do at home, listening to curated music, that will help you better manage stress, relax, and be calmer, by training your vagus nerve in a relaxing way. - The SSP is a total of 5 hours of listening to specially designed music that has been filtered to change how you perceive and hear sound. - It trains the Inner Ear to pick up on “safer” sounds, such as the human voice. - All this means is you then have a more foundational level of Safe and Sound feeling within your nervous system and body. - The SSP is created by Dr Steven Porges, who wrote The Polyvagal Theory - and is heavily based around Polyvagal Theory and Nervous System Balance and Healing. - If you'd like to be guided and supported by me to complete the SSP - please get in touch and I can help you with it, or any questions you may have. Here are some links to videos, resources, and of course - all the links on how to book in with me or chat with me regarding the SSP or my Somatic Wellness Coaching services: If you'd like some more information via email - contact 'Abbey Stanbrook' via email or dm me in Socials: abbeystanbrook@gmail.com Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/abbeyheartlove/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abbey.elliott.58/ https://www.facebook.com/heartfeltcompassionatetransformations/ Abbey's website and online calendar coming soon!
