About the Course

Does your nervous system hijack you and interfere with achieving the goals you’ve laid out in therapy or coaching? Even your best attempts at lifestyle changes or following your passions?


Find compassion for this phenomenon, which can be a natural artifact of life lived. It’s not that you are doing it wrong or aren’t trying enough. The hooks just run deep. An approach that reaches the hooks from within the nervous system can be a complement to your current approach.


Self Trust through the SSP provides a hybrid approach for conducting the Safe and Sound Protocol.  Group sessions are used for preparation exercises, to introduce each of the five hours of the algorithm, and teach skills to support your system through the exercise. Participants then complete the hour of the algorithm with guidance for self-monitoring.


This allows the collective capacity to support and extend coregulation potential. While also allowing flexibility for individuals to meet the needs of their individual system and schedule.


Who is this for:

A group experience of the Safe and Sound Protocol is not a fit for everyone.  Completion of Hidden Hooks: Know Your Nervous System is required prior to participating in the Group Experience of SSP.


In general, this SSP program is appropriate for

  • Anyone who has previously completed the SSP and is looking to expand the social component of the exercise.

  • People who want to enhance the outcomes in their active therapy or coaching with another provider.

  • Participants of the Hidden Hooks program who identified:

    • Patterns of emotional and/or social inhibition as a proactive or reactive internal dynamic.

    • Lack of trust or disconnection in the emotional system.

    • Hyperattunement in sensory system (internal or external) as a contribution to false alarms into survival.

    • Dependence on others to meet emotional needs.

 

This format does not include ‘therapy’. We will have limited time each session to learn and expand understanding through personal reflection and the option to share. It is assumed that participants are actively working with or have easy access to appropriate resources.


What is the SSP?

The Safe and Sound Protocol is an auditory algorithm designed to tone the ventral vagus complex of the autonomic nervous system. Incorporated with additional exercises and tracking, it has demonstrated the development of expanded capacity for feeling safe in social interactions, emotional expression and reception, as well as the resolution of incomplete relational trauma imprints. As it is a passive intervention, we cannot make anything happen; we can create space to allow transformation to happen.

Shelly Melroe

Hi, I’m Shelly Melroe. At my core, I am a lifelong learner and problem solver. This program was born with the intention to address gaps in mental health and stress management industries that keep innovative technologies and restorative solutions inaccessible, keeping you stuck in quick-fix offerings that are merely bandaids and often create bigger problems. The system isn’t bad or wrong; it’s natural for them to get stuck. Just like you! Humans are humans no matter who they are.


I have spent the past seven years understanding the root contributions of mental health ‘disorders’ applying rigorous problem-solving methods from prior decades of corporate and consulting change leadership work. The more I learn about the root causes of what ails us, my passion burns to bring effective change that improves the health of the mental healthcare system as well as the individuals using it.


I invite you to come learn, explore, and be curious about the transformational shift that enhanced nervous system regulation holds for you!
