The Safe and Sound Protocol

Listen to learn more about how the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) can assist in trauma healing, particularly with ptsd. SSP works on vocal proxity to engage the inner ear to hear cues of safety. This is geared at parents raising children from hard places, who joined their families through adoption, foster care, kinship or a relative placement. Expert Guest Bio: Katherine Warner, MA, MFT, who is a private therapist in the bay area. She’s a big believer that habits formed to survive difficult childhoods may be wreaking havoc. She empathizes with how many may feel overwhelmed in parenting and works closely with my clients on communication skills, personal awareness, and nervous system regulation in order to stay calm and effective during conflict, difficult conversations, and life transitions. Her background has given her experience working as a behavioral coach and as a therapist with incarcerated and probation youth, and women in recovery. She sees teens, individuals and couples, including stuck relationship patterns, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, OCD, and parenting or co-parenting issues. One of the more recent additions to her practice is the Safe and Sound Protocol.
