Podcast: Autism, Trauma, and Nervous System Healing with the Safe Sound Protocol
Laurie recently joined Brooke Wagner of Finding Hope on the Spectrum to discuss the benefits of Safe Sound Protocol, an evidence-based therapeutic tool designed to reset the nervous system and enhance safety, particularly for neurodiverse individuals with trauma histories and sensory issues.
In this episode, Laurie:
Explains how SSP works with filtered music to help the nervous system feel safer, thus expanding the 'window of tolerance' for stress
Touches upon the polyvagal theory, the importance of bottom-up approaches in trauma therapy, and the utility of EMDR in her practice.
Provides insights on how to find and choose the right SSP provider and the impacts of SSP for neurodiverse individuals, including non-speaking autistic children.
The conversation highlights the importance of a thorough assessment, self-awareness, and individualized treatment plans to effectively support trauma processing. Listen at the link below!
