Mountain Therapy Now Offers the
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
The Safe and Sound Protocol was developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, who discovered the Polyvagal Theory; “a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of one’s physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders.” Dr. Stephen Porges is a Distinguished University Scientist and author of The Polyvagal Theory.
The Program:
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an auditory intervention, research-based therapy designed to reduce stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience.

Getting Started; what you need to know
-Through an app you will upload to your device, you will have access to the program for 30 days, (please see program schedule for start dates).
It is recommended you engage the program for 30 to 60 minutes a day.
Janet and Liz will do weekly text check-ins to see how you are doing.
*Remember, consistency is key!
-Over the ear headphones are essential instead of earbuds or on-ear headphones because they provide an immersive sound experience facilitated by their enclosed nature. Essentially, the vagus nerve has a sensory branch to the eardrum, the external auditory canal and to the pinna (which is the ear skin/tissue itself). By covering the whole ear with over ear headphones, we’re maximizing input of the vagus nerve for maximum benefits to improve parasympathetic function. Earbuds only bring input to the external auditory canal and eardrum.
We encourage you to create a dedicated space that feels safe and comfortable, free from distractions so you can get the most out of your program.
*Remember, self care is your gift to yourself!
-When you feel ready to commit to this 30 day program, email Liz / Janet at info@mountaintherapy.ca and put “Sign me up” in the subject line, (do not book through the Jane app booking system).
