Porges and Onderko’s book delves into how the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a listening therapy grounded in Polyvagal Theory (PVT) and designed to help regulate the nervous system, effectively reduces a range of symptoms associated with mental health challenges. It addresses symptoms like anxiety, depression, and trauma-related responses, illustrating how autonomic regulation can lead to significant improvements. The book showcases stories and clinical evidence demonstrating SSP’s impact on emotional dysregulation, social engagement difficulties, and even auditory sensitivity, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of its therapeutic potential. By promoting a state of safety and calm, SSP facilitates a foundation for healing and growth.

The book features a collection of case studies depicting the life-changing effects of becoming receptive to safety cues, downregulating defense mechanisms, and embracing a positive growth mindset. By featuring diverse clients, the book aims to connect readers with patients and families, showing how clinical outcomes can be optimized through the efficient application of PVT with SSP. It’s written for laypeople and professionals alike, promising a deeper understanding of one’s unique nervous system and the development of tools for improved autonomic and behavioral state regulation, leading to a calmer, more resilient experience. This book is valuable for anyone interested in innovative, polyvagal-informed approaches to improved mental health and quality of life.
