EMDR therapy facilitates the processing of traumatic memories in a way that minimizes emotional distress. Achieving this can be challenging for clients in a persistent defensive state until they attain a sense of safety and connection.
Incorporating the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) allows EMDR therapists to establish a neurophysiological sense of safety. This foundational safety enhances clients' ability to participate actively in their journey toward healing.

Lack of progress or difficulty completing treatment for clients often stems from their nervous system remaining in a persistent state of defense. This condition can render the usual Phase 2 exercises of EMDR therapy difficult or even traumatic.
Safety, being both a subjective experience and often hard to establish, might be bypassed too swiftly by some therapists during Phase 2, leading to potential retraumatization or impasse.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed intervention that activates the vagus nerve via the auditory neural pathways with specially filtered music. This approach effectively transitions the nervous system to a state of safety.
Recognized as a crucial adjunct, the SSP facilitates the establishment of safety and supports the construction of adaptive information processing. This foundation enhances client readiness for subsequent phases of EMDR therapy, fostering more profound healing.
