How SSP Works
The mind and body are intricately connected, and the vagus nerve plays a crucial role in facilitating communication between them. The vagus nerve is responsible for relaying information between the brain and various organs and systems in the body, including the heart, lungs, digestive system, and more.
​
Here's how the SSP works:
​
-
Auditory Stimulation: The SSP delivers specially filtered and modified music to the listener. The music incorporates specific frequencies, rhythms, and patterns that are believed to have a calming and regulating effect on the nervous system.
-
Neural Regulation: The auditory stimulation provided by the SSP targets the neural pathways involved in auditory processing and social engagement. It aims to "exercise" and regulate these pathways, promoting improved functioning and integration of sensory information.
-
Vagal Regulation: The vagus nerve, a key component of the autonomic nervous system, plays a crucial role in regulating physiological responses to stress and promoting social engagement. The SSP is designed to stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting its regulation and balance.
-
Calming Response: The modified music used in the SSP is intended to create a sense of safety and relaxation. By engaging with this calming auditory input, the nervous system may shift from a state of heightened arousal (fight-or-flight response) to a more balanced and regulated state.
-
Improved Regulation and Functioning: Through regular exposure to the SSP, it is believed that individuals can develop enhanced abilities to regulate emotions, respond to sensory input, and engage in social interactions. The protocol aims to improve overall well-being and resilience.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of the SSP may vary for each individual, and it's recommended to work with a qualified healthcare professional or therapist who can guide and support the process to ensure its appropriateness and potential benefits for the individual's specific needs.
