As a parent, the most out of control I have ever felt was when one of my daughters began experiencing debilitating anxiety, avoiding school, and expressing suicidal ideation. “Why is this happening? What do we do?” Thankfully, a collegue of mine introduced me to the Safe and Sound Protocol. She had seen incredible results with one of her sons after he completed the SSP. He no longer wet the bed every night, was beginning to engage more socially, and stopped having panic attacks. She was SO relieved. My wife and I signed up the next day. 

The long and the short of it, is that my daughter also experienced incredible results. Her symptoms dropped significantly and school was no longer something that she feared. And all she did was five hours of listening to the SSP. It was amazing! The results have continued for her since then and her nervous system has seemingly been recalibrated. So, I got trained. Since then, I’ve seen my other daughter experience relief from patterns of people pleasing and social anxiety, while I also experienced my own relief from completing the SSP. As a parent, I’m much less reactive and more empathetic, even when there is high amounts of stress or conflict. And as someone with diagnosed ADHD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I have noticed a significant decrease in everyday symptoms and an increase in my ability to remain focused, especially in social situations and at work. Each day, I experience a sense of wellbeing that was not present before the SSP. It’s such a relief.
