Feel Safer in Your Body with the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

For many people, talk therapy isn’t quite enough—especially when anxiety, trauma, or sensory overwhelm live deep in the body.

At Full Bloom Counseling, we offer the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) as a gentle, body-based tool to help calm the nervous system and support deeper healing.

What is SSP?

The Safe and Sound Protocol is a five-session listening program designed to help your brain and body feel more regulated, safe, and connected.

Using specially filtered music developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, SSP helps your nervous system shift out of a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze—creating space for calm, clarity, and connection.

This isn’t about learning to “cope.” It’s about helping your body feel safe enough to rest, engage, and heal.

Who Can SSP Help?

SSP can be especially helpful for people who experience:

  • Anxiety or chronic stress
  • Trauma or PTSD
  • Emotional reactivity or shutdown
  • Sensory sensitivities or overwhelm
  • Difficulty feeling safe in relationships or environments
  • Feeling “stuck” or dysregulated in therapy or daily life

If you’ve ever felt like your body reacts before your mind has time to catch up, SSP may be a good fit.

SSP at Full Bloom is guided by Kelsey Bennett, a warm, grounded therapist who brings compassion, curiosity, and trauma-informed care to every session.

Kelsey creates a supportive environment where clients can slow down and listen—not just to the music, but to their bodies and their needs.

Her clients describe her as deeply attuned, calm, and nonjudgmental. Whether you’re working through past trauma or just trying to feel more like yourself, Kelsey will help you navigate the SSP process with care and clarity.

What to Expect

SSP is a personalized experience that includes:

  • A collaborative intake to assess your readiness and goals
  • Five guided listening sessions, either in-person or remotely
  • Support and integration throughout the process
  • Nervous system education and optional follow-up care

You don’t have to “do” anything during sessions—just listen and allow your body to respond at its own pace.
