Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music. As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to re-tune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration and resilience. The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider, in-person or remotely. Suitable for children and adults, the SSP has demonstrated benefits for individuals with trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences and more.

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: A Transformational Practice for Women Entrepreneurs
In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, where critical decisions are a daily routine, business owners often find themselves engaged in relentless over-analysis. It's an easy trap to fall into, dissecting every outcome, preparing for every scenario, dwelling on every "what if". However, as women navigating the dynamic challenges of business ownership, it's crucial to learn the art of turning this analytical energy into mindfulness and self-compassion. This recalibration is not only beneficial for your mental health but also for your business's longevity.
Betrayal Trauma: Find Support
If you are struggling with emotional abuse, gas-lighting, or betrayal trauma by a partner, parent, boss, or family member, consider a CSAT counselor as a solid option for counseling because of the specific training through IITAP. If you are told that your feelings don't matter, your experiences are not real, and being told your are crazy, selfish, or dramatic please get a second opiniion from an expert. It is most likely about intergenerational trauma, PTSD, unresolved abuse, others substance abuse denial or abandonment in childhood. It has nothing to do with who you are or what you8 had control over and everything to do with what you were trying to servive. The first step is getting support to help you define what is real and what is gaslighting. We are in a culture of gas lighting so it is challenging to create a new reality!
